Time for us to move to Wellington Central! It's good to know your not too much of an outcast where you live. Those Helensville figures leave me feeling a little alone. Could be worse, Greens don't seem to have much support in South Auckland at all.
ReplyDeleteIt's about being out there and talking to people. Climate change and the law to hold people accountable for beating their children both need correction in the public mind. It was interesting to see Graeme Hunt in the NZ Herlad trying to use the anti-smacking law as a reason for getting rid of MMP......while I'd argue that not invading Iraq is a great reasons for keeping it. The NZ Herald has been complicit in grossly skewing perspectives by parroting the National Party and ACT talking points for the past three years...and they aren't stopping. They want a multi-term National government and MMP gone. We must - urgently - begin to communicate by alternate means. Our local media monopoly have become the enemy of anything resembling a sense of proportion.
ReplyDeleteThe people I have spoken to who voted ACT were anti-ETS. They know next to nothing about the consequences of climate change, but the Herald made very sure they understood the cost of doing anything about it.
The folks I have talked to who voted for National were mainly motivated by the anti-smacking law - which is bizarre, as not one of them has young kids.
That people would base their vote on issues that don't affect them shows that National - and the NZ Herald - elevated relatively minor issues into central concerns for people who aren't even affected by them.
"Fox Herald"
That's what they are for me from now on.
Concur that the media, particularly the newspapers, are primarily to blame for the election result. It's been shockingly bad.
ReplyDeleteVery interesting post.
ReplyDeleteThe Coromandel result suggests the environmental Greens have less support than the communist Greens as evidenced by the votes in city Labour friendly seats.
Very interesting rankings.
anon 20:07: I don't know of any Communists in the Green Party. This is just more tory propraganda>
