Exercising My Democratic Right

[Saitch]

Well, at the local polling booth, I've just chosen..........................the home made lamingtons over the home made scones. Did I do the right thing:o

Tough decision but i think you have made the right choice, well done :D.

[Mick_Marsh]

Hang on, lamingtons just have jam but, if scones are done properly, they have jam and cream.
Both, of course, are best consumed with a nice hot cup of tea.
A correct decision can only be made when all the observable facts are collected "at the coal face" (so to speak). You can only make an informed decision once you have carefully evaluated all the options.
It's not as simple as voting, you know.

[Chucaro]

I am not sure yet between roast pork or roast lamb. The preference for the wine is already made :)

[4xforgold]

I am making my decision on one issue, not all the facts and voting for the one that includes butter.

[Blknight.aus]

Im going to have a donkey on this one and usurp the system by having a jaffle.

[Vern]

I'm with Mick, scones with jam and cream wins, but hey its your vote

Normally i would agree but scones with jam and cream are not conducive to a hasty get away as required at a polling station, lamingtons are just more portable and less likely to leave remnants on the steering wheel or in ones lap.

[Pedro_The_Swift]

Portable lamingtons?

I voted with my conscience, rather than along party lines, and I can also say that my first choice vote, and the second choice vote, was a scone with jam and cream. Was washed down rather beautifully by a large flat white. ;)

[Epic_Dragon]

if there were a chocolate scone, owuld be a landslide win!!

[spudboy]

Our polling booth only had sausages and onion wrapped in soft white bread.

Had just had breakfast, so I passed, but it smelt great!

I would have thought a conscience vote would have precluded cream.
The last time I went along with party lines I had fairy bread and raspberry fizzy drink. Oh for the return of those heady days of reckless abandonment.

Not at all, I viewed the cream as the ultimate stimulus package. It will stimulate my waistline to continue expanding. :D

And the disappointment I felt when I first tasted fairy bread. It was not made with real fairies at all. Perhaps in these days of world recession, and poor management of fairy habitats by successive governments, the fairies have all flown away, leaving none to be harvested as ingredients for children's treats?

Expanding the waistline is increasing the savings, something like personal growth in economic terms which is a thing very popular with today's politicians.Doctors do not agree with that policy :D

Yes, hand out a stimulus package on the proviso its spent on lamingtons.

[Disco Muppet]

I'm going to go for a minority party.
Party pies that is.

[Ferret]

lamingtons just have jam ...

Lamingtons with jam.... ridiculous. Stop the jam I say.

[sheerluck]

Ooh, you're one of the "turn the jam back at the border" brigade are you? I feel that society has become richer for the addition of jam - I believe that a multi-confiture society is the way forward. By all means leave the lemon curd on Christmas Island, but the strawberry jam should be allowed in.

[Mick_Marsh]

Lamingtons without jam! That is just plain "un-Australian".

[Disco Muppet]

I've always said, if you want to put a price on shaved coconut, why not do it with a simple tax?

[Blknight.aus]

you cant have tax on coconut, thats just plain discriminatory.

Tax the butter I say, that way you hit both majorities and yet still leave my minority unaffected.

Oh, it's a crime to tax the white.
You wouldn't be complaining if I wanted to tax the cocoa.

[mikehzz]

I'm offended by a few jammist comments on here...

[DT-P38]

You are all a mob of fruitcakes!

Chuka, I am thinking of cooked goose for dinner!!! And what ever I do have there will definitely be a lot of whine.

Inc, Can we have the soap box back now its obvious the politics of division and negativity is finished?!? :angel:

[Disco Muppet]

It's not Christmas yet Dave, we haven't finished complaining about that thing we're not allowed to talk about yet :D

[Davo]

I voted the other day to avoid being mobbed on the Big Day by pamphlet-wielding hopefuls with that desperate look they always get. You never feel more popular than when you're going to vote.

If only they offered food instead - a working man's snag-and-bread from Labor, organic homemade muesli bars from the Greens, a leg of mutton from the Nationals, smoked salmon from the Liberals, and whipped cream from the Sex Party. Woudn't voting be so much more enjoyable then?

What's One Nation going to offer you? :p

[Saitch]

Or the HEMP party?:spudnikguitar::spudnikcrazy:

I'll have a dim sum, thanks.

[bobslandies]

Well, I thought I would be really clever and give any on-the-ball scrutineer a giggle - I put the SEX PARTY in position ..................................................

I thought of that after I filled it out, was devastated my immature side hadn't picked that up.
