You see, for his "DHB" box, he has a big tick, reminding voters what to do. Unfortunately, DHBs use STV, and putting a big "tick" in the box will only ruin the ballot.Joshnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2830084253401570472.post-70203484287769665032010-09-23T08:55:48.640+12:002010-09-23T08:55:48.640+12:00@Luis: Awesome.@Luis: Awesome.Eric Cramptonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15831696523324469713noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2830084253401570472.post-68992003939107570362010-09-22T19:50:19.495+12:002010-09-22T19:50:19.495+12:00"Do you believe that groceries in the superma..."Do you believe that groceries in the supermarket should be free?

Sadly now that we're out in Selwyn we don't see his wee gems. He is either a satirist or a complete nut job (more likely I think), but he certainly adds some colour and flavour to an otherwise rather bland menu every 3 years.Latsnoreply@blogger.com
