I'm in John Key's electorate; I've never actually been to Helensville though. We're a victim of the boundary changes but this makes sense on a map since we're amongst the folk too poor to live inside the urban boundary - while we associate with East Coast Bays we're not part of the elite set that lives there.
The distribution of responses here really does show what a weird cross-section of NZ is here; no wonder some conversations go astray - beyond the basics of health and family there are very few aspirations shared by the centre and the super-far left.
I honestly don't understand the motivations of those who vote further left than labour. Perhaps there's a richness of opportunity here that's simply totally lost on me.
