We've got our election tomorrow and it's pretty interesting because one of the two contenders is a self-confessed Atheist (and female, and rumoured to maybe even be a lesbian), while the other studied to become a priest at one point and is still very religious. I don't like either of them, but will probably vote for the Atheist solely because I think it takes some guts to come out and admit to something like that, even in Australia.
But overall, I feel like it's our own version of the Kerry-Bush 2004 presidential election, where I'm going to either just submit a blank vote, or vote for the person I dislike the least.
