State Election in South Australia today!

If you live in South Australia, be sure to vote with a conscience, and get yourself a Democracy Sausage.

Bin Chicken Psephology Polling predicts:
- ALP will phone it in. They're taking it for granted they'll win with a reduced but still comfortable majority. The party have their head in the sand, but will hype it as "Steady as she goes."
- One Nation will steal anything not nailed-down, and grab practically all Coalition seats and marginal Labor seats. They're on track to become the most noisome, extreme-right neo-nazi state or federal Opposition party seen living memory (which, I have to declare, is saying something when you consider Queensland in the late 1960s to the late 1980s, or the recent run by Peter Dutton). It's going to throw the historically left-leaning SA into shock, and present a threat for all state and federal elections in Australia for at least the next 5-10 years, or however long it takes for global Trumpism to crumble. Pauline Hanson will be insufferable the entire time.
- Liberal Party and National Party will, in the slurred words of one poll respondent, "Receive an absolute shellacking."

Just voted early in the #SA
elections, thinking it would be quieter.

But no, a total circus. Running the gauntlet of what looked like a dozen parties, most unheard of, with the Libs acting as guardians of the threshold into the hall.

I suppressed my usual desire to shout abuse at One Nation and passed quietly through.

Trouble is, there is only one party you can put last.

No #democracysausage available, either, despite the crowds.

Australië heeft de 'democracy sausage', goede doelen eten bij de stembureaus.  Wat zou dat in Nederland moeten zijn ? Hartig pannenkoekje ? Stroopwafels ?
