Candidates for Wentworth have taken to the streets in an last ditch effort to garner voter support at the ballots for today’s by-election.
Independent candidate for Wentworth Kerryn Phelps has been at a voting centre in Bondi, while Liberal candidate for Wentworth Dave Sharma headed to Rose Bay.
With a couple hours to go until the results will come to light, the main candidates, as in the less laughable candidates, as in the Liberal candidate and an Independent candidate that everyone recognises from TV, are neck and neck in the polls.
Some analysts say that by ousting Prime Minister Turnbull, who had a stranglehold on what should be the safest Liberal seat in the entire country, and almost indefinitely sacrificing a win at the next election to appease the unwarranted ambitious and unexplainably powerful grip of former highway cop from Queensland with a 5% approval rating, the Liberal Party may have lost the interest of the wealthy elite from Sydney’s Eastern suburbs.
This means the election is a two-issue election. Sharma, who stands for savouring the remnants of the Liberal Party, as it continues it’s final swirl around the bowl.
And Phelps, who believes in climate change, and thinks it deserves immediate action.
However, in the middle of those two issues, sits the Labor Party. Which is why Bill Shorten hasn’t even left Canberra this week.
“If I honestly thought I had a chance, I’d probably go down for a swim at Bondi” said Shorten.
“But, you know, I’m not rich enough for this people. “
“And i’m also not smart enough…”
“So I might sit this one out aye”
