While I think your choice is correct, what about http://xkcd.com/401/ ?
the cake is a lie
See, and there's another joke about a game I haven't played that I get.

the dress sense (or lack thereof) of the scentists.
At least they didn't have headcrabs.
I missed all this from '08 (might not have appreciated it anyway) so here's
Gordon Freeman spotted at CERN
and later
training with the wrecking bar he was susequently sent.All very internet, indeed.

Experiment have seen meme??????????

Prossies would have a much more steady and taxable income stream than writers & other artists.
So I take it 'prossies' isn't sort for 'prosodists'

A preferential vote - apart from being slightly more intimidating - would be fine, if you could put fully developed options up for each. It certainly wouldn't be the problem.
Except Shirtcliffe was arguing one referendum: dumping MMP if that's what the first vote said and replacing it with what was suggested in the second question. To actually chose the most popular electoral system, you'd have to include MMP as an option in the second question. Unless you meant to rig the outcome.
It's a bit sad to think the option Simon Power originally floated was very like Shirtcliffe's, but it was good to see when the current structure came out.

Yeah, randomised ballots rather than all in one, random, order. Or to put it another way, having ballots by the 24 with a different order on each; which I wouldn't have thought would increase costs overly.
There are real biases, I don't know how big they'd be with four options.
-
it also instructs the Chief Electoral Officer to determine the actual order of the options in Part B by lot
Shouldn't they be randomised?
I don't believe there's yet any formal grouping behind any of the options, or against MMP.
I suppose these usual suspects don't really count (yet), but the referendum they were advocating counts as campaigning against MMP in my book.

It's a shame that Hayley Westenra album didn't have a title track or we could use it for a new national anthem.

I approve of this post.

At least Billy Connoly understands Wellingtonians:
If it wisnae fur yer wellys where wid ye be
you'd be in the hospital or infirmary
cause you'd have a dose ae the flu or even plurisee
if ye didnae have your feet in your wellys.wellys they are wonderful
wellys they are swell cause they keep out the water
and they keep in the smell.
and when yur sittin' in a room
you can always tell when some bugger takes aff his wellys.And yes, if you didn't know, Billy got there first. Apparently the tune is an old Weavers' guild anthem.
