The reality is I'll vote National. I do like to romantically imagine that I might vote Maori though. |

Wouldn't it be great if this poll was an actual representation of what happens of voting day.

Just because you CAN do something doesn't mean there's a shit-show in hell of it actually happening.

Mmm... Sacrilicious

No party is perfect and although the Greens have some stupid ideas, they also have some good ones and I want them to have an influence on policy. I'd never want them to actually govern with a majority - hells no.
BTW, fuck FPP. Fuck it in the arse. MMP fo' lyfe. |

Holy shit didn't expect the Greens to have the most votes.

National's in a tough spot here. There's a possibility that it could win an outright majority and govern alone, but that's a hell of a gamble. It's conceivable that National could win the most votes but Labour, Green, Mana, and United Future combined could have a greater total and patch together a coalition.
National has to get 60+ seats to govern alone and on current polling it would get 66, but anything can happen in politics. If Banks wins in Epsom and gets another ACT MP on party vote, and Sharples wins Tamaki Makaurau and gets another 2 Maori MPs on party vote, National + ACT + Maori is more likely. But will Banks win Epsom? The National faithful will probably vote for whomever Key tells them to, and a win for Banks gets the centre-right TWO more seats while a win for the National candidate only gains them one more seat. |

can't really muster up the will to vote at all this year tbh
I'm very far to the left but labour are a bunch of clowns and the greens despite having economic policy I like are anti-science and full of the sort of munters who believe in homeopathy |

Just vote National. It's the best way to keep Labour/Green out of parliament. Come on, you'll be able to live with yourself.

Then you have their anti-GM stance, which is presented in a decidedly anti-science way but actually if you look at their policies regarding GM they're not that bad. New Zealand's ecosystem is unique in the world and we already have loads of problems with foreign organisms of all types destroying our indigenous life, it makes sense to restrict the introduction of new types of plants/organisms, regardless of whether they're GM or not. At least until the science around GM has been matured to the point where we can accurately judge how they will interact with our environment. I think GM/GE could be the most important scientific field mankind has ever researched, but I'm fine with confining it to a lab for now, at least in NZ. The thing is, all these points are small fries compared to the big kahuna, Climate Change. Bottom line is governments have dragged their feet over this issue for far too long. As far as judging parties based on the impact their understanding of science will have on society, the biggest anti-science party out there is ACT, not the Greens, and National have shown that they're mainly interested in slowing down progress in this area. EVEN IF you don't think the Greens policies are the best way to combat it, the fact is that National and even Labour are not doing enough, and the more support the Greens get the more resources and effort the larger parties will put into actually solving the problem. Overall, despite what anti-science positions the Green party has, they're still the best pro-science choice available, because of their positions on climate change and sustainable living. *Tim Minchin on "alternative medicine" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HhGuX...eature=related |
