I hand out how to vote cards for Bob, at least I did six years ago when he was elected. You ought to see the looks I got, Bob lives just up the road from Bracknell, at the Liffey. There was a big bushfire up on his reserve bush block a few years back and the Bracknell locals went up to watch it burn, a lot of them really hate him.

People would try to pretend they didn't know me, it was quite humorous, so I've volunteered to do it again. ;-)

Yeah, Bob is something of an exception, but then I'm not philosophically opposed to voting as such. I think I'll put Labour last in this election, they make me sick - at least One Nation are not hypocrites. Or maybe I'll do the 1,2,2,2 trick, to prevent my preferences being distributed at all. (I could get thrown in jail just for saying that of course.)
