When the Chips are Down, Four are All In.

November was a somewhat jubilant month for Australia. We regained control of our Senate and elected a ‘True Blue’ PM after months of Political Take-Overs by Indonesia. Those things that would usually be reserved to the very back of the back-burner, such as a more graphical new citizen message such as that of the USA, have come to the forefront, and Oz gladly signed MPPs with countries all over the world to allow them to fight for their EDEN allies and participate in war games. However in the last few days, Down Under’s old friend reality b*tchslapped her in the face when Indonesia proposed war against eAustralia and proceeded to invade four more regions to add to their collection, leaving Oz with one final bastion of hope, in New South Wales. So, had Australians (myself included) began to sit pretty and fall into complacency? Probably.

But after this illusion was shattered by the Indonesian invasion the prime ministerial elections have become more heated as opponents and supporters openly attack one another, splintering the Australian community. Last month the election between Wally Wilson and Paul Hamon, although close in terms of votes, was overall pretty one-sided in the sense that an overwhelming majority of prominent figures in Australian politics, society etc. came out in support for Wilson; however this month sees four well-respected candidates duking it out for a tougher job than ever.

This month’s official candidates for PM (Paul Hamon is not regarded as an OFFICIAL candidate although yet he has managed to garner a decent number of votes.)

This election has stirred up many concerns for the community, some worried that the candidates would split the active community’s votes, resulting in Hamon winning the election (after which many senators said they would support an immediate lack of confidence vote then impeachment), whilst others planned for a “worst case scenorio” [sic] - to say anymore would breach my oath to the Senate.

The sad reality Australia faces today.

As many Australians nervously observe the elections unfold, everyone knows the same thing - Oz has a long way to go and the Brick Road is looking more piss-coloured than yellow.
