Election-day posts
To comply with NZ's retarded archaic electoral laws, I ask that you make no posts in Open Discussion before 7pm NZDT that may "influence a voter as to which candidate, party or referendum option they should or shouldn’t vote for, or which influences people to abstain from voting".

I find it interesting that TVNZ, TV3 and the NZHerald websites have removed all their election coverage. My understanding is that articles written before midnight last night were allowed to stay online but I suppose they're playing it safe. Stuff on the other hand still seem to have their coverage online. They had a provocative headline in a large font at the top of their election section. It's been moved with all the other articles now, but it still opens them up to accusations of being partisan.

Do any of the TV Channels have live streaming? Usually have the election coverage on in the background but no TV this year.

<3 Paul Henry
TVNZ has an Election Map thingy. I don't see anything similar on the TV3 website (they have a boring fucking table).

So what is the actual idea behind the maori electoral roll thing?
Is it an attempt to have maori special issues being focussed on by the representatives or do they actually have different people standing for the position? Like does town X have a white people / immigrants representative and a maori representative? or just one rep that gets voted in on different weightings based on the maori vote and the other people vote?

Attend a protest against racism and corruption on Friday, vote for Winston on Saturday...
Not to mention that these hypocritical immoral twats have also ensured that Andrew Williams instead of slinking into an alcohol induced oblivion where he belongs, now ends up in parliament. |

I have detailed files

Yeah, so I was at this place, doing this thing today, and the person I was with was all "Bloody MMP, I voted to get rid of that crap and get FPP back - and I managed to vote for one party, and also for a candidate not in that party that I quiet like..."
The plam got faced. |

Everyone who voted labour or further left should be very happy with NZ First getting in; Peters' absolutely is a model of what they stands for.

Good god almighty. I really hope lefties haven't been voting for Winston out of some sick idea of spite. It won't just be National that has to put up with him; it'll be the entire country that has to put up with him. The left really are cutting off their nose to spite their face.

NZF stands for Winston Peters and racism. There is no other party quite as fucked up as NFZ. Thankfully National looks like it will be able to govern alone.

The lefties who tactically voted are going to get a surprise when they realise they have just helped elect people like Andrew Williams who wants to abolish the anti smacking law or Richard Prosser who wants a separate South Island parliament and to abolish clean air standards and the kyoto protocol.
Not to mention longer sentences, military boot camps and all that other jazz. |

If I was John Key I would seriously think about offering something to the Greens for the next government much like he did the Maori Party with this current government. Yeah I know that sounds crazy....
