Hell Poll Winner to Be Sent to Siberia

Hell Poll Winner to Be Sent to Siberia


Voters have overwhelmingly decided that HELL poll winner Chris Ross-Smith should be sent to Siberia for his holiday from HELL.

Chris won first prize in a recent HELL poll to decide ‘who deserves a good smack.’ Voters in that poll were then asked to choose where to send Chris on his holiday. The choice was between Siberia and Stewart Island.

Colin Mellar, Head of HELL, said he hoped that Chris enjoyed his trip from HELL.

“Chris will be retracing the footsteps of millions of Latvians, Cossacks, Azerbaijanies, Georgians, Ukrainians, and even Stalin himself, who also experienced holidays in Siberia. We hope that Chris has a better time in the seat of the Mongol and Scythian Empires than those unhappy souls,” said Colin Mellar.

More than 63,000 votes were cast in the HELL poll, which confirmed that Prime Minister Helen Clark was the one most people thought deserved a bit of discipline.

“Chris will be leaving on his Siberia trip some time in the next month or so.

“Helen Clark’s trip to ‘Siberia’ will probably take place shortly after the next election,” said Colin Mellar.

“Like all recent political polls, the HELL poll was not good news for the Government, and for Helen Clark personally it was very bad news,” said Colin Mellar, Head of HELL.

Overall, Prime Minister Helen Clark attracted 10605 votes, outstripping National Leader John Key by a healthy margin.

Just over seventy per cent of voters chose the Prime Minister for a bit of disciplining versus just 29 per cent for John Key.

Brian Tamaki received the second highest number of votes, followed by Paul Holmes and then the instigator of the whole mess, Sue Bradford.

The winner of 2005's HELL poll won the trip from HELL to go and see Schapelle Corby in Bali.
