Eeny meeny miney mo...

Who to choose? Hum ho... It's only the second time I've voted as a new citizen in Australia. The first time was a biggie and I knew exactly where I was going to make my mark. Easy decision.
This time around I haven't got a clue which way to go. I don't know who half of the candidates are, and the other half don't inspire me much. My phone-a-friend suggested a "protest vote"... vote for the little guy to send a message to the big guys.
Maybe I should just spin around three times, shut my eyes, and hope for the best?
