It's been called a policy free zone and the least important election ever, because the major parties have produced few policies, and what they have are dumbed-down, focus group driven, and usually identical. A wonderful quote from an 18th century French philosopher keeps cropping up: "There go the people. I must follow them, for I am their leader".
Yesterday's Sydney Morning Herald summed this all up wonderfully on its front page. The meticulously coiffed red hair (Gillard) vs the red budgie smugglers (Abbott). It's wonderful entertainment, but it's incredibly depressing too.
