Election Night Drinking Game

 

Here's a nice simple drinking game to make the election coverage tomorrow night a little more enjoyable. It's all based on the amount of times Eden Monaro is mentioned by the TV pundits. Background Eden Monaro is a big arse seat in southern NSW that stretches from the Southern Coast to The ACT. Because of this, it covers almost every demographic and swing voter in the land, from surfers to miners to farmers to loggers to hippies to working class Queenbeyan residents and middle class ACT beauracrats. Since 1972 the good people of Eden Monaro have always voted in the overall winner of the federal ballot, making it darling of federal election TV coverage. Beginners Or those wishing to remember tomorrow night, should drink whenever these facts are brought up, Eden Monaro is mentioned as the 'bellwether' seat, or pundits laugh and say things like "As Eden Monaro votes, so does Australia". More recently the phrase "Australia's Florida" can be added to the drinking list. Advanced Or heavy drinkers should simply drink whenever Eden Monaro is mentioned. Remember; it's a big arse seat, it takes a long time for all booths to send in their results, you will drink all night and often. Good luck tomorrow and may the best woman win.
