Those of you that are in New Zealand, or at the very least connected in some way, will be as painfully as I am that we are in the midst of the election.
I hate election year. The lying, the promises that you know will be broken, the smarmy politicians (read Winston Peters)... it really makes you wonder who the hell came up with this system. It isn't like anything will change or improve. Most likely it will just get worse.
It has all come down, for me at least, who I disagree with less. What a stupid way to decide who is going to be running the country for the nest 3 years. But the only other option is to just not vote, and I feel that there are too many people in the world, especially women, who still do not have that right for me to just throw it away. I know a number of people who won't be voting on Saturday, even though they are more than happy to reap the rewards of this slightly socialist democracy that we live in. But they do so due to strongly held idealogical beliefs, so each to their own I say.
But yeah, bring on Saturday and bring on the result so at least I can start bitching about how stupid the rest of the country must surely be. And hey if Winston Peters gets in to any major seat of power at least I'll have yet another reason to leave the country.
