    None of them .. I'm of the view "Don't vote - only politicians win"

    A solution ???? Shit people have been arguing that one since the Greeks invented Democracy ... and you want this bunch of non-conformist dipshits to come up with one? Dream on.

    Nah nothing would change really. We would just end up actually listening to the NZX rather than ignoring it and then having it fed to us another way.

    How would it go if there was a "Disenchanted" box to tick at election time, to show that they all piss us off!

    I think there would be a fairly high number (%) of disenchanted voters!

    I have argued that if there was a box that said "No parties, no members" on an election form, and for every 5% that got they would throw a seat out of parliament.......you would get record turnout at the polls.
    I estimate that 4 or so seats would go also......

    Good idea but it would never work... too few people would be able to understand such a long word.

    Vote for the Zumwohl political party. And no this not a pisstake!

    By bikers for bikers and ordinary people.

    Platform is basically thus far.

    Reversal of the ACC levies on motorcycles with review and then fair spread of fees across all road users. Also to levy user rather than vehicle.

    Good food tax structure. Lower taxes/GST on healthy foods, raise them on unhealthy foods.

    More to come.
    Thought for the day: Some people are like Slinkies - not really good for anything but they're funny when they're pushed down the stairs. Also: Who picks up guide dog shit?
