Where will you be election day (Confirmed September 7th)

[Flashback]

Travelling by train and ferry from London to Dublin.

Ouch, that's a heck of a journey. Good luck..

Indeed. Not one id prefer to do!

Election Day is the day we leave London for Perth. We will have to vote over in the UK as we leave Perth before postal voting starts.

I will be riding rollercoasters all day long at Cedar Point in Ohio, much better use of my time than voting!

 

[Pollywaffle]

In London! And I sure as heck won't be heading to a polling booth to vote.

 

[CMak]

Buenos Aires and trying to get some coverage of the results

The voting public may also be riding a roller coaster that day.

I will be in Ibiza, the biggest party island on planet earth. At the same time the poll booths close on the eastern seaboard, I would be probably stumbling home at 9am after an all night party I am getting a bit too old for these parties but hey, I live only once !

Not really. 9:10 from Euston, arriving Holyhead at 12:50 pm, seeing plenty of the England and Wales countryside. Ferry departs 2:10 pm, arriving Dublin 5:25 pm.

I wanted my first visit to Ireland to be the way my great grandfather and great great grandfather left, by sea (but hopefully a bit more comfortable than in the 1800s).

Lots more space than on a plane, and room to walk around on the ferry. Total cost was 39 pounds.

I'm relieved that the date of the election will mean I am at home in BNE. I'm an election night TV junkie and was worried that KRudd was going to call it for October when I'll be tracing around SEAsia and not giving a stuff about domestic politics at all.

Need to try and work out how to vote earlier. And I hope there isnt another election for the full 4 years.

....I live only once !

That is not a certainty!

That is not a certainty!

Actually federal elections are on a three year cycle. The current government has run their full term. NSW and VIC state elections are on a four year cycle. Don't know about other states.

Actually federal elections are on a three year cycle.

Need to fix that one. Three years is not long enough.

 

[cove]

I used to think we should move to a four year fixed term but now I see that could bankrupt us.

 

[ellen10]

Wow lots of people travelling and doing amazing things on election day.
We thought we would be in Switzerland(Sept 14) but now will be flying out the day after the election. I am so sick of election politicking already!

 

[JohnK]

Nothing wrong with 4 year terms.

Biggest issue I see is the wrong people become leaders of political parties yet manage to be still around at election time even though all opinion polls were clearly saying they not be there.

The joys of democracy?

 

[Paddy55]

About to cancel trip :evil: so may end up at Don's Party too

These days you don't need to hang off TV broadcasts to see you your favorite candidates are faring; you just use Australian Electoral Commission between shots ...
