Does anyone have any plans or traditions for election night?
For the last state election we went camping and only turned on the wireless about 10pm to hear the result. We were going to do the same again for this election but our camping buddies daughter had too many things on this weekend.
The plan is now to spend the night drinking and playing pool and occasionaly look at the TV.
Not quite Dons party but should still be a good night.

My parents sit up with a bottle of wine or three and watch all the bloody coverage.
I can see how you'd need the wine but.... boring !
Besides we already know the result... whoever wins is going to screw us !

Did I need any more reasons to vote for the Sex Party?

I'm not ashamed say I will be watching the results with great interest as I would have hoped most people who care about our future would have, regardless of their political affiliations. Stick your head in the sand then your asking for a kick in the behind, I say.
Cheers

As per usual on election nights we will be doing Nothing Special.
We may have a celebratory drink or two if our preferred party wins :(. ........or three or four to drown our sorrows if we lose.https://www.aulro.com/afvb/images/imported/2013/08/1312.jpg
In reply to Karl, its a bit late to take an interest in an election after the polls close. Nothing can change the results then, you just have to wait and see what the collective wisdom or otherwise of the people turns up.

Heading out to Aria with the family for a nice dinner. Then listen to it on the radio on the way home before finishing up with watching the close on TV.

My brother is up from Hobart...a long time between too many glasses of Jamiesons and listening to Arvo Part and other musical obscurities played loudly. That's what we'll be doing. :)

Might be a good excuse to head out to Karonie. :cool:
Take the trailer, the chainsaw, a camp oven and a feed, and the yabbie nets.
Home sometime Sunday with a load of wood and a good supply of yabbies. :D

Who will be going out for dinner. As interested as I may be in the result, watching the coverage ain't going to change whatever it will be.

My gf dragged me to an 'election party' at a friends place. I couldn't think of anything worse. I ate lots of food, and made fun of whoever was on the screen at the time.
I must say though, 7/9 are useless at decent reporting. One of them cut away from Rudd's speech because the old girl that knocked off howard last election was crying... At least the ABC gave decent coverage of what was actually happening and kept away from that type of garbage. Quite dull though.
Also funny that 7 always had Labor ahead, and 9 always had Libs ahead. :)
