Pondering the phrase: a hung Parliament. I get an image of that
marvellous entrance to Parliament House. High above, corpses hang,
gently swinging and rotating in breezes from the air-conditioning.
That would more correctly be a hanged Parliament. Which perhaps it
should be.
An acquaintance characterised our choice as one between psychopaths and
sociopaths. I don't know how fair that is, but it's admirably succinct.
This election, more than any before, I feel in danger of overdosing on
cynicism.
