2008 election: Howard vs Rudd

November 23, 2007

Every election brings with it a saturation of advertising, leaflet drops and propaganda that leaves me completely fed up with the whole process and waiting for it all to be over and done with. Thankfully, it will all be thrashed out tomorrow and we get a few more years respite. I can’t understand why it is necessary to waste literally millions of dollars on smear campaigns and repetitive promotion. At least we don’t have the extent of marketing (and donating, which I really don’t understand) that goes with the US presidential elections. Yet.

My tip for tomorrow? Labor by a nose and widespread relief as we are able to turn our TVs and radios back on without being subjected to the same ad three times in one ad break.
