THE DONKEY VOTE

Welcome to The Donkey Vote.

What is The Donkey Vote? It is your best friend during Election 2007. We will guide you through the triennial circus that is Federal Elections

But we aren’t your ordinary Election coverage website! There is already plenty of them around and we couldn’t do a better job, so in fine Australian tradition we are going to make a massive joke out of the whole affair. And that materialises in the national tradition of Donkey Voting! Hence our name…like its uniquely Aussie and pretty much sums up our views on the lunacy that is about to occur across the nation.

The benefits of having a website like that is that I don’t have to know everything (READ: Anything) about politics, like if you ask me about the Taxation Scales, I’m gonna choke like the Cronulla Sharks. But this way I can make a joke out of everything, you guys can connect dots that don’t exist, you know like it’s some kind of social commentary bullshit or a metaphor and I came away looking more intelligent then I really am.

But let me tell you about the hook. We have a hook here. And that is hollywood talk for our unique selling point.

The idea for this website started when I was reading a political blog and did a politcal views test that askes you a few dozen question and then tells you which parties your principles suit and where you lay on different issues, left or right wing etc.

Well I did mine and then Sheldon, my evil counter part, did his. And we had nearly exactly opposite political views. And we have and would be relentlessly fighting like cat and dog over which side is right and which will win, so I thought it would be a great idea to bring that to the internet for all to enjoy….but mostly so next year I can say “Hey Sheldon, wasn’t it cool when we did that website for that Election.”

That is if we are still friends after the terrible war that is ahead.

So I’m good, he is evil. I’m optimistic, he is sadistic. I’m touchy feely. He is just touchy.

I’m a champion of the Labor Party and Sheldon is an agent of the insideous Liberal Party.

It’s like Spy vs Spy, but actually funny. It’s like Itchy and Scratchy. It’s like the battle of the eagle and the snake. And that awesome Canadian show I’m addicted to called Kenny vs Spenny.

Yes it’s going to be a no holds barred battle to the finish line on Election Day then of course we have the battle for the House of Reps and Senate. So let’s sit back and enjoy the mayhem, the hijinks, the humour, the embarrassment and the blood of the Federal Election battle between Labor and the Coalition mixed with some Brad vs Sheldon shenenigans.

The K07 T shirts are packed and I have enough Your Rights At Work stickers to wallpaper my house, so let’s get on with it!

FIGHT!

(It’s 6am and I’ve been up all night. Hey this may not be award winning material but just think of it like Mad Max. Like the sequel will be better than the original. Or like the Pilot episode of Star Trek when they had Chistopher Pike as captain instead of James Tiberius Kirk! Or the first season of Babylon 5 before Sheridan came to Babylon 5 or maybe Super Mario Bros 3 compared to Super Mario Bros. EXCELISOR!
