Decisions, decisions
Don't you just know the TV networks will call their election night coverage something like "Decision '05" or "NZ votes: 2005"? Why not something creative, like "NZ picks the least incompetent" or "NZ chooses the bloke whose name they vaguely know", or combine it with the Lotto results so we can at least have a real stake in the outcome?
Well, with today being Nomination Day (The day when final nominations for electorate and list MPs must be received by Chief Electoral Officer or returning officers) we'll bow to audience demand and run a national political poll.
Amid much grumbling in the LawsWatch secret cave about off-topic posting, we were reminded that it would produce an interesting piece of data after the election proper - to what extent do Laws Watchers mirror the wider Wanganui population, at least in political affiliation?
So, first up, who will you be giving your candidate vote to?

Then you'll need to come back here (there'll be a button marked "back" once you've voted and the results are displayed) and tell us to whom you'll be giving your party vote?
