Political Parties

There's been an election called in Queensland for September 9. Anyone who visits here will quickly realise that we do not want the incumbent to win, even though there is a more than even chance that they will.

However to take the stress out of the election we invite you to join us on election night for our drinking game.

Take a sip of your favourite libation (non-alcoholic for the under 18s) each time you hear the political commentator say a nominated word or phrase. For example:

-- Lineball
-- Landslide
-- Bellwether Electorate
-- Too Close To Call
-- Two Party Preferred

It counts as a double if those words are mentioned in conjunction with your electorate and a triple if your preferred candidate wins.

If you are outside our fair state and still wish to participate, here is a link to the state's electoral map - pick a region (hint the south east Queensland, Sunshine, Gold Coasts and Brisbane offer more choices), choose an interesting name and have some fun.

The (political) party begins 6pm local time with a double shot if the newsreading talking head says a variation of the following phrase: "The polls have just closed in Queensland."

We're happy to take recommendations on additional key phrases, requests for additional drinks and suitable nibbles and whether anyone would be interested in Nick and I live blogging on the night.

In the meantime enjoy:
