Newspoll results released by The Australian show the Coalition ahead of today's election

THIS election’s best-named candidate – Meow-Ludo Disco Gamma Meow-Meow – is feeling like the cat’s pyjamas as Australia goes to the polls.

Mr Meow-Meow is running for the Science Party in the inner west seat of Grayndler and is up against Labor heavyweight Anthony Albanese and anti-capitalist Greens candidate, Comrade Jim Casey.

But that’s not putting Mr Meow-Meow off – and he was purring about his chances as the votes started rolling in Saturday morning.

Asked if he was in with a chance of a shock win, he replied: “I certainly hope so hahah”.

Mr Meow-Meow is a molecular biologist who believes that advances in medical science may one day mean humans will become immortal.

That would mean things going for ever and ever and ever – something we can all identify with this election campaign.

“Every year our life expectancy increases a little bit and it’s accelerating over time. We can look forward to a time when it gets to the point where you end up being functionally immortal,” Mr Meow-Meow told the Daily Telegraph a few weeks back.
