Have a read of who are the other farm animals.

Leave it to private enterprise to come up with solutions.

We live in a wonderful democracy people. Have a good weekend :-)
As just about every thread has posts overtly promoting political parties of some sort and can be readily accessed on Election Day - surely the whole site should have been taken down for the duration of Election Day? Just like hoardings and billboards have to be physically removed.

Given that law was cast in 'simpler times', it needs to be revised, especially in light of the vast number of early votes were both encouraged and cast while hoardings, search engine ads, social media ads, tv ads, etc. were still being disseminated.

That being said, given the unique circumstances of this election, labour we always going to win this one, irrespective of campaigning rules pre voting day.

To be clear, I think the time has passed for a complete moratorium on advertising on election day. We have ready access to information that influences our vote (especially via social media), and many actively seek this out on the day in order to make their decision.

I think Finance spokesperson Paul Goldsmith's mistakes right at the start of Collins tenure as leader, which immediately undermined National's so called strength & point of difference , managing the economy, & tripped up Judith Collin's momentum dead in its tracks, added significantly to a party which looked a shambles. There is always a honeymoon period around a new leader but Collins was having to defend own goals right from the start.

I live in the Taieri Electorate(previously Dunedin South) I did not vote for the Labour Candidate as I have reservations with a candidate with no local connection being parachuted into a safe seat. I just doesnt sit well with me. What are others opinions?

Very wise. Mind you, it's an electorate that has always been plagued with dead-beat MPs way back to MacDonell who held it for several terms - and was completely useless; and the minister of speeches, Bill Fraser - and who can forget Clare Curran. Drive around that god-foresaken electorate and it's quite obviously ignored by everybody- including the MPs who have represented the inhabitants. Perhaps with the exception of Cullen who had his hands full with the cheque book.
