Heh, very good.

However, I think National is more like Homer than Mr Burns. Homer prefers to take the path of least resistance – which is National in a nut shell. I can’t imagine Mr Burns rolling over to the teachers union.
At times, National needed to embrace the Mr Burns persona.

Labour as ‘Fat Tony’ is perfect though.

  ‘Fat Tony’ exactly – every time I see Mike Williams, I get the same vibe. Even after he left their fundraising to their own devices.

Labour under the union thug Andrew Little may have been best represented by Fat Tony. But now maybe the best representation would be Helen Lovejoy who uttered the immortal phrase ‘won’t somebody please think of the children?’.

  Act is more Bart now, Principal Skinner is National, and Top would kill the cats, not horde them… 😛

Homer Simpson’s plan to escape the inky depths of the Springfield Tar Pits: “First, I’ll just reach in and pull my legs out. Now, I’ll pull my arms out with my face.

Thats exactly Bills current plan to win.

National is like Marge. Blue hair and worried but managing to keep the family functioning.

Awww C-mon

I second the motion of Act being Bart-like, or at least Seymour being more Bart than Seymour…

Fat Tony for Labour… bang on the money

  Rebellious, but with a good heart…living under National’s roof, but being strangled…

Saw this on Facebook the other day. Someone commented that The Conservatives should be Ned Flanders.

The voice to Troy McClure died. A bit like United Future might be after this election. Lisa Simpson is very smart, but lacks real world experience. I think the Greens lack real world experience, but not as smart as they think they are….
