I've heard this said (slightly more politely) "it doesn't matter who you vote for, you always get a politican".
Actually, it really doesn't matter who I vote for. I must be in one of Australia's safest liberal seats. In the recent State election our sitting Liberal member had the biggest swing away from the government in any seat (this in a seat where she already had a clear majority in the primary vote).
I agree with Meri - I think Howard's time is up - if Costello had any balls, he would've challenged for the leadership last year, but he is gutless. Rudd would really need to fuck up big time to not win this upcoming election.
