Happy Election Day!
After five weeks of sterile, scripted and "safe" campaigning by the main parties the polls have moved not one jot.
The failure of the main parties and their leaders to engage on the street with real voters (as opposed to party apparatchiks) has cost them dear; ie it is as though there has been no campaigning whatsoever. Had one leader of one of the main parties had the guts to face a real voter, and stand their ground against the inevitable onslaught that would have occurred, then that leader would have dragged their party into pole position.
The campaign managers have sanitised the process and removed the politics from the election. They, and the parties that hired them, have much to be blamed for; especially as we will now have endure this whole sorry process again by Christmas, as no one will win.
