Two votes this year

[TwoSeven]

After watching the so called 'leaders' debate. I was thinking about splitting my vote this year. As per usual, one is split between labour trying to out national national, and national trying to out labour labour.

Then I realised that I get two votes not one. So I thought, well I'm a tory, so I will do my tory vote for my local tory MP. But, then I thought who will get my party vote.

Thing is, while I like nationals policies - I dont like em all. Especially removing the stress clause and the removal of carbon tax. So i thought - what other party has tory like views but also strong green/people views. Lo and behold Mr hyde (act) pointed out some of his parties green views - and I kind of agree with them. So I think they might get my party vote this year.

I've given up with labour because all they do is rob peter to pay paul and their limp wristed telecoms commisionor should be dumped big time.

Whats other peoples views on vote splitting ?

[WRT]

I like that we can do that - it has been my policy in the past to do so. Act will be getting my party vote, havent decided yet for the other. Voting for Act is kinda like voting for National in advance - National just "come up" with the policies Act has been touting for years anyway . . .

Vote splitting is fine as long as you do it to the right and indicate well in advance.

Well, I suppose they were the ancestors of those who bring us Ducati, Moto Guzzi, Aprillia etc

[Coyote]

EEEEEEEEEEEVVEEEEEELLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!! National?! ACT?!?!?!?!

If we get National back in, sure there's going to be tax cuts (to the rich) but all the government owned stuff (for lack of a better word) such as schools and hospitals will all be sold off to the private sector. Just like electricity.

As for Act, *shudder*. Satan is huddled up in fear because of the impending doom of when those Act pricks run out of elixer and die and get sent down there

Ah well, I'm not old enough to vote anyway

Douglas Adams noted that it was relatively safe to talk about Politics in the Antipodes because people don't really care.

Hi alarumba, I don't know how to do this quote thingy so thought I would try and correct one of your comments. Electricity was deregulated not privatised, the government now controls more of the electricity industry than it did prior to deregulation. Why socialists want to go "back" to the way it was beats me. Perhaps they really just don't understand. The government is making a killing out of the current set up. Cheers John.
(I think it worked, the quote thingy I mean.)
