I think you'll find that 2,278,989 voters out of a possible 3,070,847, makes it more like a quarter of the electorate.
This was an increase from about 20% in the previous two elections, and may just represent a "foregone conclusion" sentiment in 2011.

About the same number who voted for Labour eh?

You're confusing flippant remarks with serious answers. (Not to mention expecting consistency from a self-confessed anarchic persona .. )

...and you're expecting some of these muppets to have a sense of humour.

No, not really - the sense of humour is my own - and for my amusement. I learnt a long time ago that few keyboard warriors have any sense of humour ...

I guess if we can get back to the situation where 8 out 10 people participate in the election, that would great.
I don't think you'd do much better than that without making it compulsary.

To be fair, I often find you funny.
I suspect that sometimes you even mean to be funny...

I think that's pretty reciprocal ... (I'm not so sure that what you think is funny is meant to be funny tho' ...)

I might exercise my right to vote.....they keep sending me the forms.
Is there any of the free beer left?
Why can't it be online as I can't be bothered going to the local school on a Saturday morning.

Or we shift the perception of what we are voting for. That way we don't have to worry about which moron is representing you.

It's a bit like going for your driving test and the instructor asking you which drunk from the pub your want to have in-charge of the steering wheel.

I don't really give a shit who my local MP is.
That's where MMP is inferior to FFP - my MP is resident 250km away.

So, uh. Zer Fuhrer is (now) a NZ nationalist. and he is with an avowedly socialist party in munger.

So we have National Socialists fronted by a charismatic German? What could possibly go wrong?

Is there any chance of anything going right?

Who the fuck is Godwin?

I did agree with your statement until I found out that FFP doesn't stand for First Fuck the Politician.

You see we should get them poor, and beat them up and then put them in the beehive......not the other way around. Rough them up a little to let them know who is really in charge.
