 MM> The final results for our local body elections here on the North 
 MM> Shore in New Zealand's Auckland province showed that the turnout 
 MM> was 35.2% (sob)....

  That is worse then here ... but then we had the referendum ,so
that might have been a treat for voters.

 MM> Mr Tory is obviously a Canadian politician ?  I wonder if he is a 
 MM> victim of nominative determinism and a Right Winger to boot ?

  He used to be a Presidemt of Rogers Cable in Toronto.  Only friends
he has are the elite and higher ups that were born with a silver spoon.

 MM> Good man - here, the party representatives to get into power 
 MM> unelected are ex-candidates rejected by electorates at previous 
 MM> elections.  These loopies invariably proceed to promote the very 
 MM> wierd policies that earned them their prior defeats....

Well it seems you have the thing we rejected..MMP.
 
 MM> Another real democracy-killer - the move from public gatherings of 
 MM> all kinds to today's isolated punters,  sat in darkened rooms with 
 MM> a can in hand,  the channel switch set to maximum brain damage...  

 MM> Practical democracy isn't keeping up with social change.
 
 MM> It not available on my New Zealand BBS...
