This is me being real generous because until you linked to that Blog I hadn't thought of getting it, but now I really want one too.
But for the sake of my Karma, there's one on Trademe right now.
Good luck.

And, this just in, for Auckland-based Pratchett devotees who like a bargain, the secondhand bookshop in St Kevin's Arcade presently has a fair whack of the Discworld series
Thanks Sam. I was hoping you could delete the tip, copied above, so I could race in and get it first, but too late for that now.
As for the forth in The Earth Sea Trilogy, Tehuna, it seemed to be the longest, but almost all the relevant action happened in too few pages for my liking. You have to wonder what she was trying to achieve after 18 years between 3 and 4. I've read some intersting reviews and opinions on this, including this from a Doctoral Thesis. And now they tell me there are two more books besides. The Tales of Earthsea and The Other Wind.

Speaking of democracy - where we speaking of democracy? Anyhoo, remember we are going to vote for MMP vs FPP in the next election.
As the tail wags the dog, perhaps we should ask some serious questions about what is truly representational government.
And while we ponder this, I present the poster boy for MMP.
And in the other blue corner, the poster boy for FPP.
So what's this SM system all about? And the STV system has a catchy little formula called the 'droop quota'. I'm already getting a little excited about all the mansplaining potential leading into the next election, and can we make sure 'carly binding referendum' is not forgotten.

Sound bites of the day 'democratic deficit'. And 'Toothless talk shops'. Not new, but used in an appropriate context.
There's always the Billy Bragg approach. This would have been better on the Tax threads, but never too late for some Billy, right? Takes a minute to start, but it's worth it.

Money may have no limits but I've got the Power, to vote.
Apparently not... Phil Twyford on bFm today. Many interesting things to say.
