      Back in August, everyone seemed to enjoy my Slightly Abridged But Very Accurate Guide to Australian Politics, and overnight there have been Happenings. So, let's UPDATE!https://twitter.com/jamesheathers/status/1032989419123482626 …

      So, even though it's a seat Quisling won by a big margin, things are dangerous. (a) the by-election will be very heavily contested (b) people are very annoyed with this whole affair. Anyway, that brings us to today. Happy Friday!

      Scene: Lizard/Plank is the Prime Minister. Quisling, a fake moderate but a real moral coward, pushes him out of office. Perhaps a good thing, until his cowardice is manifest. However, he is not evil enough for his party, and they start *undermining their own guy*.

      Pulling his hair, trying on his underwear, shit like that. Eventually, they recontest the leadership again. Racist Yam challenges Quisling, but screws it up. Badly. The compromise candidate is Cranky Uncle. He is the Prime Minister right now.

      Now: whoever controls the Lower House of Parliament forms government. The Scumbum Party have 76/150 seats. But in the aftermath of his untimely exit, Quisling doesn't just stop being Prime Minister, he resigns from Parliament altogether. He goes out in style, and just ghosts.

      So, they have to run an election for just this one local member. The electorate is called Fancytown, Sydney. It is populated almost exclusively by rich people. They walk their poodles a lot and the poodles have cardigans and the cardigans are made by Hermes Dior The Third.pic.twitter.com/cdvwFKxUi1

      So, the clever plan of Scumbum party: pick a new candidate and spend a lot of money getting him elected. They choose Guy. Guy is. He has ears, and teeth, and limbs. This is where his familiarity and appeal end, though. He is the unseasoned porridge of political candidates.pic.twitter.com/hOSHP6TDa4

      And Guy's worst political nightmare, Glorious Cockatoo, appears. She was the head of the Australian Medical Association. She was a professor of medicine. She worked in Fancytown continuously for 20 years. She is high profile, has policy experience, and is legit 100% Fancy-local.pic.twitter.com/wnhZPgYYf0

      Alongside good qualities she does also cheerfully support homeopathy, naturopathy, and various questionable medicines

          Hey - if I had my way everyone in Parliament would have a Bent Spoon Award. https://www.reddit.com/r/australia/comments/9hneoy/in_2008_kerryn_phelps_was_awarded_the_bent_spoon/ …
