Democracy is Dead. Long Live the Death of Democracy.

The world has ended. Quite clearly the walls of our reality have collapsed and we are left floating in void of nothingness enclosed in the air tight sphere of taxes and environmental fascism. Democracy; long dead after a majority of elected representatives decided to form government, cannot save us now. They've defeated freedom, they took our jobs and we're rooned. They've passed the carbon tax.

Or half passed anyway, but it will pass the senate because God hates you or something. For a country in which democracy is supposedly dead, the voting on the Carbon Pollution Reduction Scheme [because that's what it is actually fucking called] was rather polite, orderly and yes; democratic. Sure Sophie Mirabella got kicked out for talking, but I'm sure that happens to her daily in her own home.

Such a relatively orderly passing of what has been branded the most controversial bill in recent political history reveals how ultimately shallow opposition to the bill is, at least in parliament. I have no doubt that if he was given the opportunity after the last election, Tony Abbott would have given an ETS, a CPRS or something like it to win government. He would have. The Opposition's position on carbon pricing is a strategy to destroy the minority arrangement, and that strategy is halfway to failing. Once the CPRS is in, it's staying, that much is clear. 'Blood' pledges or no, bullshit is bullshit.

And what will the mentals do then? They cannot keep up the doomsday predictions once the scheme is in place. Unless our economy immediately implodes in an orgy or self loathing, they will do nothing. They will move one to the next 'death' of democracy, not knowing what it is yet, but probably something to do with native title, or funding cuts for private schools, or giving free jobs to economic losers who don't want them. Something anyway. They hate something.

What will Tony Abbott do? What will he rail against? All dressed up with his election winning lead and nothing to do. All this blood, and nothing to pledge it on.

What will he do?

What?
