That’s design is hot, is that a fern in the vulture’s mouth or a fern in the girl’s hair! Magic. Despite that wikipedia vexillology fob off ;)

Thanks for that David, much appreciated.

Pointed out in Suff comments. Is it legal for anyone to sell items printed with a New Zealand flag? Would that change if the focus of the design was already a trademark?

a big raw number of a bigger raw column, but the percentage is about the same as the reasonable difference.
Yes, a little difficult to fully apprehend without the tables, perhaps it’s the #f89828. but I’m liking your angle David. I guess the real outliers in that group are those who think ‘voting won’t make any difference’ but are still having a punt. I’d like to know more about them.

The percentage of abstainers in the “voting can make a big difference” group seems quite high. Does the ‘abstain’ category also apply to those who were unable to vote?

Sorry I missed the largish number of non-religious abstainers - nihilists? Anyway...

*comprehension.
There’s some fascinating stuff here David. I was interested by this;
Basically, the 18-26 year olds (as I divide it up in this graph) are not-voting at about twice the rate of the next cohort.
Though not a new trend it’s good to have data. It popped back into mind on reading Russell’s post:
It probably goes to the limit of what can politically be said
Perhaps the politicians just aren’t speaking their language.
Also this:
A quick easy thing you can do, if you want to increase election turnout is talk politics- at the hairdresser, in the supermarket, on the bus or train.
Does remind me a little of the JW’s who came to the door yesterday, I couldn’t do so personally, I don’t really have the skill set for it. The religiosity graph is what interested me most, as it looks to read that those who might believe in God or karma or something are more likely to abstain, perhaps I'm reading it wrong.
