Thanks @mattifer. I love it when that happens and I can't resist a photo. I thought it significant on Wednesday.

Hopefully someday that will change and we will vote for people based on their policies and abilities rather than party affiliation.

I do hope that the electoral system will be changed in the next five years. Proportional representation made sense 25 years ago, but the electorate now wants real, personal accountability. It's time.

And that would/should open the door for independent candidates which should deal with the myriad small parties. I live in hope.
