Could you tell who is who?

[catsnknots]

In general Labor is red and Liberal is blue... that is usually what it is on all their web sites, campaign t-shirts, signs, logos and anything else that is used to let the public know what side of politics you are on... 

Usually there will be the word Labor or Liberal on your material as well. 

This usually made it very easy for a person to turn up at the voting venue and get a how to vote card. If you knew what party you wanted you went for the right coloured t-shirts.... 

hm.. lets not forget the Greens.. they are always green as well. (don't want to forget anyone) 

So knowing that bit of information can you pick who is who from these images?

They're both a bunch of self-serving opportunists in the pocket of big business and anyone else who has the cash to buy favour. That's what democracy's all about, isn't it?

[colic2bullsgirlore]

If a voter is sucked in by the colour of a balloon or t-shirt should they be allowed out to vote?

I have a rule...

I  refuse to vote for anyone in a T shirt...

until it's wet 😐

I'm retired, which apparently makes me elderly and incapable of self thought (even though I'm only 53), and I have NEVER taken a how to vote card from any joker at a polling place.  I have always thought about my vote before hand and worked out who I will be voting for long before I get there.  How silly and impetuous to do it any other way.

[catsnknots]

Lurker maybe you do have a problem because I never said retired are elderly... this is what I said. 

I won't put an age on what I say is elderly... I live in an area with high numbers of retired people and many are elderly and elderly does not senile.. 

hm........ seems to me that I did not say that ALL retired people are elderly... 

Well, I have met many an elderly person that has told me they were not as quick off the mark as they use to be. My neighbour is one... having chatted to him yesterday about this topic he said that it would be a bit confusing for him... 

but go on and change the subject... make this about me being ageist... (which is so incredibly wrong by  the way) instead of making it about the fact that the Labor politicians are are steering themselves away from looking like a Labor candidate in the hope that people will be fooled into voting for them... 

That is what they are doing... they do not want to look like Red labor but Blue Liberal... 

the photos show that very obviously... 

[lurker17260]

Yes, cats_back I was having a little dig at your blatantly ageist comment, however the main gist of my post was that I find it ridiculous to suggest that people are going to the polling place with no idea who they intend to vote for.

Even if they need a how-to-vote card to establish the "correct" order in which to number their ballot paper, wouldn't they already have some idea who should be at the top of their preferred parties card and recognise that they may have picked up the wrong one?  It wouldn't make any difference what clothes people are wearing would it?

[just_me_karen]

Cats... 

And I am also concerned about the elderly going to vote knowing that the team they want to vote for will be in a certain colour... they go out and seek the people in the blue shirts and ask for how to vote cards. 

Plus...
