Passive political participation

[James Deuce]

It's easy now. You don't need to belong to a Party to get the inside intelligence.

Between us, my wife and I have subscribed to every Political party's mail list. Those that bother to communicate with their customers. This way we can keep up with general political trends and inter-party politics and comms and we can spend three years forming an opinion of how we would like to see the next Government formed.

It's a good way for people who are too busy to be actively involved in Politics to keep an eye on things.

I strongly recommend it.

Every election, I watch NZers struggle with the idea of voting, watch them attempt to cram 3 years worth of information into 10 weeks of covert and overt campaigning. I find it personally upsetting that most Kiwis struggle to value their country's ideologies, values, and it's plain quirky uniqueness. We're doing a lot of things right, but we focus on the negative at the last second and throw our hands up and cry, "I don't know who to vote for, they all suck." They don't actually. Their Campaigning sucks.
