Everyone says I sound British, and I do. I just have no idea how I got the accent. Blackadder, maybe?

One time i met a guy at a party and he was like 'so where are you from' and I said Wellington and he said 'no but where are you from originally' and I said Wellington and I think my accent must be weird because he didn't think I was from here.

Foreigners sometimes think I'm from South Africa and it's getting to the point where I'm strongly considering not correcting them.

As far as I can tell they are just not going to throw too many resources towards trying to win a by-election they had at best an outside chance of winning. Better leave it to Peters to upset and cause issues for national.

This piece about the Greens leadership contenders on the Nation was quite good. will be interesting to see how that post-ideological idiot from GenerationZero does; I can see the result being a reflection of the larger party (from L->R Hughes, Hague, Tava)

No it's pretty stupid to throw away your vote on a third candidate with no chance of winning, sorry. Especially since it splits the vote and causes probably the candidate they would feel least represents them to get in. I think most people in the thread understand MMP though.

I guess who represents them is so important to them that they vote for them anyway - sure, it won't deliver a certain outcome, but are you really surprised that hardcore Green voters won't vote for a Labour candidate?

That will always be the argument against it, the counter is that the sooner we switch the faster we'll get the populace acclimated to the new system.

In theory I wouldn't be against that tbh, each politician directly accountable to people in an area. Maybe then we'd get some kind of regional development strategy. In practice it would be the death of half of the opposition block at the moment, so...
