2010 sees the nation head into the poll booths for a federal election where the
Australian people have a choice to make, albeit a marginal choice...
It's an age
where Marginal Seats dictate outcome and Opinion polls of these marginals
dictate policy, where Labor and Liberal meld into each other, and nothing - for
fear of losing votes - really ever seems to happen... it's Marginal Democracy.
18 artists
have responded to the politics and events of the current electoral cycle
(2007-2010) and election for... Marginal Democracy.
