QUOTE (Xena @ 13/04/2012, 01:43 PM) You're feeling brave? You do realise you are in a thread full of mostly Green supporters right. We might chain ourselves to you but we won't cut you down A cheerful moment in a sad thread! Lady-android do you honestly think people vote (in a secret ballot) because it is 'trendy'? That is the oddest thing I think I have ever read

That is the oddest thing I think I have ever read Unfortunately I know people who have done this, and admit it freely and proudly. They're the sort of people who don't actually care about the economic future of this country, and get their "political education" from shows like "The Project", and a certain trashy newspaper not published by fairfax with the initials D.T. Sad but true.
