OnPoint: Because Statistical Rigour, in reply to linger,
Well said linger.
The really annoying thing is that there seems to be nothing that can be done to stop such reporting debacles from happening.

the exact process by which the first vote will take place hasn’t been publicly stated – there are, after all, only two doors for MPs to walk through when voting.
Couldn't this also be done with three votes. Those in favour of 18 Yes, other No. Those in favour of split Yes, other No. Those in favour of 20 Yes, other No. I guess they'd also need to clearly stipulate that an MP could only vote Yes in one of the 3 options.
Personally I'd allow MPs to vote yes for more than one option.

Field Theory: Never alone with Metenolone, in reply to jeremy gray,
Re looking like real people, the bbc has a page here to find your body double http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-19050139
I find it amusing that competitors at 1.83m are 6'0", whereas those at 1.82m are 5'12".

Legal Beagle: MMP Review: Trusting Voters, in reply to Andrew Geddis,
But the threshold definitely increases the chances that a big party can govern on its own or with only one party. Smaller parties are constantly at risk of sliding below a threshold. I think larger parties have much more to gain from the threshold than smaller ones.

A good day for mediaphiles.

Don't we already pay land tax ? Just that it's to local government, and it's called rates. How would your proposed land tax differ from that ?

I think the Herald should be made to pay. And I mean $$. I don't know what commercial photographers charge, but if they steal a picture for use in their feature shouldn't you be able to charge them for it ? Anybody know how much would be reasonable ?

+1 for Slowpitch.
For those who don't know the game, the pitch has to be slow, arcing between 6 and 14 feet, which makes it easy to hit. To compensate, you have 10 fielders (1 extra outfielder), and no stealing (a base-runner can't leave the base until the ball is hit).
This makes for a game where everyone is involved, most of the time. We play in a mixed league, and batters must alternate male/female.
Good fun.
