Eight in every hundred of you is a moron.

Assuming that today's Galaxy Poll, mentioned in the esteemed bastion of balanced journalism that is the Advertiser, is correct there has been an 8 percent swing against the government since the last election. In other words, eight in every hundred South Australians have changed their vote in comparison to the last election.

Let's look at major developments since the last election:

- We now have the lowest unemployment rate IN THE COUNTRY.
- We have a new multi-million dollar hospital development.
- We have an annual Fringe Festival that is bigger than Edinburgh's.
- We have a brilliant plan for public transport development, including plans for electrified trains, an extended O-Bahn, and an extended tram network.
- Plans were recently announced for works that will continue the process of making South Road a non-stop thoroughfare.
- We will soon have a redeveloped Adelaide Oval for AFL and Cricket.
- Our premier may have fucked a woman who is clearly mentally unstable.

Now, since only one of those could possibly be considered entirely negative, it is safe to assume that the majority of people changing their minds are doing so because of Michelle Chantelois - a lunatic of a woman. Regardless of whether or not you believe Rann, do these people changing their votes honestly believe that it is an issue that should decide who governs this state?

If the answer is yes, then eight in every hundred of you are morons.

  1. You go Simon... in fact I think YOU should run for Premier, it's about time we had some generational change. Send this to the Advertiser (suitably blanked!!)
    Hope all is going well in life for you, politics aside,
    Julee Veljanovski :D

  2. I've sent many (in my humble opinion) well-written pieces of left wing criticism and complaint to the Advertiser - and only once have I been published (I keep it in a frame!)

    I could never run for politics - I can write with competence, but I freeze in front of a camera!

    All is well with me. Hope that you're doing well too!
