People probably wonder why I bother with this. Right about now I'm having thoughts of that nature myself.
"I know who I'm voting for," they might say.
"Why don't you just follow a how-to-vote card?" some might ask.
"Get a life!" order those without a shred of originality, finesse, style, sense of irony or, strangely, a life of their own.
The fact is that, even though I live in an safe Labor seat where any vote is essentially a wasted vote, I strangely want to do things properly. At the end of the day, I will know something about my candidates. How many of you can say the same thing?
