Australian Prime Minister has just officially announced Australia will go to the polls on 2nd July 2016 in a double dissolution election.

Isn't it nice how these Prime Ministers can decide when to call an election, in order to take advantage of specific political events and trends?

Vote Trump

Australia would have been better advised to emulate the US even more closely, because this weird crap where the government can call elections when they're most likely to win (in order to ram through legislation that has failed repeatedly) seems like BS to me.

I sure am glad that we don't have these Parliamentary systems here in America. Having elections scheduled at regular intervals seems like a better way to do things.

Notice how this arrangement in these "Parliamentary Democracies" essentially makes it easier for Tyranny to occur, by allowing the PM to reshuffle the legislature (under certain conditions) and get yet another chance to pass a bill that has already failed to pass twice.

No thanks.

America truly is the best system on earth. Don't let anyone tell you different...

Vote Trump!
