Election night
So... election night coverage for TV One, TV3 and Maori TV starts from 7pm til 12ish or whenever they realise that the country has gone to sleep.
I'm predicting it will be the same dull predictable affair as every other televised election night since forever. Meangingful results don't start showing up until around 10ish. Up until then, it's just bunch of boring talking heads. News readers, pundits, washed up politicians, talking about nothing in particlar. Periodically they read out some results statistically insignificant results as the networks compete to see whose graphics are least shitty. You may as well skip the whole thing and then tune in to the 6pm news to see who is most likely to acquiesce to Winston. Discourse Votes 2014 is alternative online election night coverage. "Join us on election night, live online, for NZ's sweariest and most irreverent election results show. There will be results, and arguments, and nonsense and beer." I don't know anything about these Discourse people, but it sounds promising. KiwiFM has an "alternative election night audio commentary from Rose Matafeo and a group of the comedians and writers behind 7 Days and JABAT - plus cameos from Dai Henwood, Jono and Ben and more." I'll probably be flicking between the channels (out of morbid car-crash curiosity), Discourse, and shoving a knitting needle up my dick while masturbating with hot sauce in between. I wonder if there's any other alternative election night coverage?

Harawira riled at backing for Labour
I assume Ab isn't commenting on this because he's hoping beyond hope and doesn't want to jinx it.

I wonder how much that had to have cost for all of that, either in back room deals or hard cash.

TV3 talks up its boring shitty election night coverage:

Of course, that was 2005 tech and in the intervening 9 years, TV3 ought to manage to out class that. Quote:

I'd rather have Winston than Colin in a National government to be honest.
Even though I despise how he operates, he seems to genuinely want to represent his constituents. In my view, old people deserve more representation than crazy people. |

iPredict at the moment:
$0.40 on NZ First to be in Parliament but NOT hold balance of power. $0.37 on NZ First to be in Parliament and support National. $0.13 on NZ First to be in Parliament and support Labour. $0.85 on a National PM after the election. $0.12 on a Labour PM after the election. $0.50 on Mana getting a seat |

Te Tai Tokerau is the Internana's only chance of getting into Parliament. I would love for Kelvin Davis to take that seat.

So tomorrow, you are not allowed to try and influence the way people vote. But I guess I could spam as many people as I can on Facebook at 11:55pm, and then when everyone wakes up in the morning they will see it.

That seems so quaint. I'm now used to a crowd of people all trying to thrust "HOW TO VOTE" cards into my hand literally as I'm walking into the polling station.

That's what I love about NZ, any number of quaint laws that make the country a great place to live.

Oh it's all done in good humour. I've never had anyone be a cock about it
But back to NZ - Princess HTTPd her vote in earlier today. Jealous. Latest average of polling looks like Nat+Act+UF+Maori = possibly hitting 62. Fuck relying on Winston. |

Did a quick browse of NZ Herald's policy summary of various parties - terrible editing by the way. I can't find a single party that I would fully endorse. All of them have some amount of crazy. The craziest of them all are: ACT, Conservative and Internet-Mana. Actually, IMNSHO, ACT is fucking bat shit crazy, it's almost like they are after the bat shit crazy voters.

People post on NZG on weekends? I thought people only posted from work.

Vote casteded. Stroll along to other end of the street, no queue, handed voting paper by a guy who looked like a non-crippled Stephen Hawking, two ticks cast for REDACTED. Easy. In and out.
Why do some people take so long marking their vote? Have they seriously not even thought about it yet? Are they reading every name to see if there's one they like the sound of better than the names they're already familiar with?

I know that I took a moment or two to chuckle at some of the parties on the party list, i didn't know going in that there was a party running as "Anti 1080" for example.
