So, local government election results are fixed, then?

Or are you just pissed that dole bludging fuckwits' votes are only counted if they actually vote?

your right. 60% Of the population are "dole bludging fuckwits"

MP's are beneficiaries - they just line up for their dole money at a different window!

I wasn't suggesting for a minute that they were, which you'd know if you could read.

The dole bludging fuckwit in question, in fact was you. And I simply asked if you were annoyed that nobody paid any attention to your non-existent vote.

I'd have thought you'd be all over it, dude, I mean nobody has any respect for anything you deposit here, but public body elections are a forum where they HAVE to count your vote.

[Grumph]

Well if we're talking stupid and local body elections...we've now got a child as mayor in Selwyn. Happy-clappy everyone is honest and will always tell the truth churchy kiss the babies and pose for photo ops bloody useless waste of space.
The council staff will walk all over him. The current CEO came from a council where he was tossed out for the rates rises he oversaw. The same thing has already started here and now we've got a figurehead who won't do a thing to stop him...

The countdown to my being able to clear the decks and move has started.

That is probably a reflection on the Calibre of candidates in the election, than a reflection on the Electorate....

I disagree.
rather a reflection of a system incapable of, failing to acknowledge, or reflect, ie "represent" the people whom it is supposed to.

and a rising generation of farsebook slacktivists, and/or generation who rightly see the government as a pack of old white wankers out for jewgolds.

[Akzle]

also, ballots lacking the options "akzle", "hang them all", "no suitable representation", "fuck this shit" or "free beer"

ahhh. choices.

Calibre of candidates has never been any different in my 60 plus years of observation!
