LOOK ALIVE AUSTRALIA. Desmond Chudmore - father, sportsman and an absolute top-bloke of a Prime Minister is looking for a historic third term. However, on election morning his staff find “The Chud” in a sorry state of affairs. Can his crack team of strategists spin a win for their beloved National Democratic Purple Party? Or is it time for opposition leader Paul Punge to prevail and form a long awaited government for the People’s Popular Yellow Party? It’s really all to play for this election season. Come have your say.
