It *is* a beautiful sight.
The previous government 'reformed and improved' our electoral act by taking the right to vote off prisoners, and closing the rolls on the day the election was called. The act was given some cynical title like you might have expected in the former USSR. They thought the hundred thousand or so votes that would otherwise go to the ALP might as well not be allowed to.
So I'm impressed when people just get jack of it.
