Hard News: Five further thoughts, in reply to Joe Wylie,
the tower of babble...
... an excited young suit ... declared he’d voted for “Mister Muldoon” ... Three years later the election night coverage was swarming with his clones, all reviling Muldoon as a disgraced charlatan.
Suitability is a cloth run thing...

Hard News: The sole party of government, in reply to Paul Campbell,
FPP causes you do do that
Maybe, like Telecom, the National and Labour parties could be forced into splitting into tighter parties of their predominant persuasions, to best identify the beast one is voting for...
Because until 'WYSIWYG' becomes the norm, they all look like Trojan Horses...

I gotta say this having to vote tactically is a mad game, and plays into the 'systems are for gaming' paradigm rather than having a system that lets you follow your heart and head.

Hard News: Five further thoughts, in reply to simon g,
pow wow to the people..
They can’t shift it, there’s no lines.
Sans a smelter, they could build power-hungry data server farms,
or maybe a huge battery charging station and ship them up country...Hell electrify the South Island rail system,
or maybe a partnership with the Dairy industries,
run the power through all the bovine urine
to create a huge phosphorus industry?
...if only we could transmit energy tellurically or atmospherically,
just where are all Tesla's old papers?Otherwise I hear Karen Walker is doing great things with sugar bags....

time for the whitless to start whittling!
...we have a government that doesn’t care a whit about us
They don't really care about the people in Chchch either, just the money and influence while its flowing - it's like the 'Greenbait' season is open!
Same boat, lets start mutiny mutterings...

Hard News: Five further thoughts, in reply to Farmer Green,
Ruminant ruminations...
...a two-year low
Who'd live next door to a dairy farm with
all that mooing going on constantly, then?:- )

Dimpersonation...
Back in the '70s, an acquaintance, disenchanted with the Muldoon Government, took it upon themselves to drive all over Canterbury on Election Day, voting at every polling booth they could find
- under their own name!
IIRCThey did do time, but I can't remember if it was for that
or something else...Simpler times.

Hard News: The sole party of government, in reply to Lucy Telfar Barnard,
I have updated my chart to include the special votes
That EBDNV party took a solid second...
they'll stand for anything, apparently. -
Hard News: The sole party of government, in reply to ,
Living in the material world...
...a storm serge made its way several blocks inland
...and the very fabric of the land
'twill' ever be 'worsted'!Suits you, sir!
