G'morning Peter, PC> They weren't as they are only second now in a record set in 1925 PC> when those whom didn't vote was 55% leaving 45% to vote.... The final results for our local body elections here on the North Shore in New Zealand's Auckland province showed that the turnout was 35.2% (sob).... PC> Perhaps they were sending a message to Mr. Tory and the PCs PC> ??? Mr Tory is obviously a Canadian politician ? I wonder if he is a victim of nominative determinism and a Right Winger to boot ? PC> Interesting the comments on MMP ... Not really covered here...but PC> I joined the 63% that voted NO. Main reason....I didn't like PC> the party hacks being placed in the seats they proposed in MMP PC> and as a taxpayer...I oppose paying some party yesman to do PC> the same as what is going on with party platforms and in the PC> house where they vote the party line and not the voters opinions. Good man - here, the party representatives to get into power unelected are ex-candidates rejected by electorates at previous elections. These loopies invariably proceed to promote the very wierd policies that earned them their prior defeats.... PC> What amazed me is the new size of the riddings to places where PC> these people really never meet the people of the community. Another real democracy-killer - the move from public gatherings of all kinds to today's isolated punters, sat in darkened rooms with a can in hand, the channel switch set to maximum brain damage... Practical democracy isn't keeping up with social change. PC> Do any of you gentlemen read the CANCHAT echo? I am mostly PC> there yapping about this with others too. It not available on my New Zealand BBS...
