10% informal votes. All rounds needed for a majority to appear, blue won by a tiny margin. But it was always going to be a Lockwood flag from the 1st round.

I'd actually rather the Ensign rather than a Lockwood, but maybe that's just stockholm syndrome from living in London under the Monarchy for so long

Ugh At least Red Peak would have been "okay". Now for the final flag I get to pick between poo poo flag or poo poo flag. Thanks a lot John Key, you even managed to turn the people who supported a flag change against it.

16% of the loving country just picked a loving candy wrapper. 3.5% of the country decided to open their papers, get a pen, and bring themselves to the point of writing on the loving thing, and instead of using all that energy to vote, they decided to send a really snotty note to some minimum-wage vote-counter under strict instructions to promptly discard anything not easily readable. What a waste.

mirthdefect posted:i thought most people who wanted the flag changed wanted the weetbix box because ruggers and bbqs and our boys in black etc? I wanted the flag changed and my standards were even as low as "something better than what it is now". Only two of those might have fit that and both were eliminated. Somfin posted:16% of the loving country just picked a loving candy wrapper. Exactly, the people who might have had enough taste not to vote for the Lockwood flags wasted their vote on a pointless statement.

fong posted:The next referendum might actually be one where I don't care enough to vote. Theyre both lovely Yeah, I would hate myself for contributing to either outcome so I'm not gonna vote in the next one. I'm feeling bitter about it because it feels so rigged. But it's probably more likely that I just don't really know much about the voters in my own country. I mean, enough of them voted National in so I shouldn't be surprised.

Apparently we had some sort of obligation to vote for the Red Peak, which is also a piece of poo poo. Who cares? It's the next one that matters anyway.

If there were a vote where it's probably OK to refuse to have any part of, this would probably be it.

I know enough that even when presented with a blatant attempt to have something that could possibly be interpreted as a good thing happen during Key's stay as PM (as opposed to the PRC-level shitshow that he'll jet off to escape once he's voted out), at least half the country would either fall for it or just go along with it anyway. I don't have the highest opinion of my fellow countrymen, as it stands.

I had a feeling the uglier Lockwood would win even though the weetbix one was polling slightly higher; Key & Hooton & Farrar & all the other terrible right wing people favoured it. I was surprised Red Peak came second though, I heard that like a third of its first preference votes didn't rank any other flags. Gonna vote to keep the current bad flag I guess E: look how bad this article is http://www.stuff.co.nz/national/the-flag-debate/75035116/how-did-the-second-most-preferred-first-pick-win-the-referendum exmarx fucked around with this message at 23:17 on Dec 11, 2015 |
