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?

yes LL I am concerned about that.. very much so. 

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. 

I am also concerned that the people that do not understand what is happening, the not so politically aware or savvy , the ones that are blindingly trusting in the politicians will not understand what is going on...  

surely any concerns you have are outweighed by the murdoch factor. he's made the result .

this talk of cheating is petty and pales in comparison.

When you say 'elderly' Cat what age group are you talking about?

Or do you in fact mean senile - and assume that one implies the other?

It's not only Labor not adding the party logo.

Our Labor member has the logo on his junk mail but the Lib junk mail I got today had no logo.

I was surprised and looked for it but no, not there.

I am thinking.... most people read ... they get to choose at the ballot box, little squares with numbers, all black and white don't they?

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.. 

I work with the elderly and two people that are the same age can be very different. 

One stark reminder that age does not count was the time I was two different ladies in one day where one was 102 and bright as a spark and the other was a 73 yr old (the same age as my mum) and she was so much "older" and closer to being in independent living than the 102 yr old that was still in her own home with a family member. 

Just because you get older and don't react the same as when you were 50 does not mean you are senile. It is just a fact that the older you get the slower your thinking.... many where I live will ask for a form on how to vote....
