Graham Young over at Qld Decides has put up an interesting breakdown of the issues confronting the new Moreton Bay Regional Council and its effect on voting intentions.

Whilst I disagree on his interpretation of the results, it does paint an interesting picture of the voting intentions of the region.

I have always been amazed by the extents that people will go to to win elections. The saying goes that all politics are local, and local politics are often the worst offenders for the great game of silly buggers.

There was a very bad 80’s era movie called ‘Brewsters Millions’, I won’t bore you all with the details, but there was a line in the movie and I paraphrase “Why would anybody want to spend $500,000 for a job that pays $100,000″.
