Going crazy for the Democracy Sausage

An election day staple isn’t to wait in long queues for a five-metre-long ballot paper. It’s to get the voting part out of the way fast and grab a sausage. The tasty treat on Election Day has been dubbed The Democracy Sausage and while some have trouble with them…

Democracy is the freedom to eat a sausage sanger from either end or the middle #SausageEquality #democracysausage pic.twitter.com/AaZcVCuIua

Occasionally, though, you can have a sausage cooker that is more focused on swatting away the political fly(ers) and burns your sausage which might lead you to seeking alternatives.

Sometimes the sausage is not enough and it needs a friend. That’s where the amazing baked goods table comes in…

After the election they can go back to their original name…

Did ou grab yourself a democracy sausage while you were voting today? Or did you grab yourself a baked good? Or did you vote early and just make yourself something at home? What did you think about the way Bill Shorten ate his sausage? It was kinda scary.
