Oh boy, that sounds like a mess and a half over there. What did your PM do that he or she was ousted for?
In other news, US voters in Nevada elected a man who has been deceased for several weeks rather than vote for his Democratic rival. So now the Republican party in that state will pick someone to serve in his place.
It's no wonder so may people feel like their vote doesn't matter.
That's funny - as far as I'm aware, we've never voted in a dead person. although, some of our former leaders may as well have been dead for all they've done!!
Twice now, a PM has been ousted, and I think it's due to a loss of confidence by the other party members. I tend to believe that it's more because someone more ambitious has wanted the top job and has stabbed someone in the back. Although, the current PM got into power through one of these processes, and I actually quite respect his beliefs and leadership.
I know a few people who simply 'donkey vote' - not sure if that's a term in the US - basically, just throwing their vote be doing something stupid, or purposely voting wrong (for Jedi's or something similar!!), because they really think the process is a fraud.
The Jedi religion was an option people wrote down on our census in 2001. I have no idea why, but I did find it hilarious.
Are you talking the Australian census? I remember it being on there at one point too, but I'm pretty sure it's since been removed. Quite a few people did put it as their religion.
Yes, I remember at the time that enough people choose it as their religion for it to meet the legal requirements to become a registered religion, but our Prime minister at the time said fun's over and it never happened.
Yep. You're right. Was that the Howard government? Or the one directly after... can't remember which!
It was definitely the Howard government. I can never forget his eyebrows, they were their own living entities on his face.
