With MMP each voter gets two votes, and there are lots of tactical voting decisions to make. How you cast your vote will have a big impact on which party wins power, so voters will have to be canny about the choices they make.
The purpose of this voting guide is to help centre-left voters make the right choices.
I'll break it down in steps, because some of the nuances of the MMP system mean it can be difficult to understand what you need to do.
Here we go.
Party VoteI appreciate that was probably quite complex, but it's worth rereading if you want a Labour-led government on Sunday.
This vote is really critical and will determine who forms the next government.
Vote Labour.
Electorate Vote
This is where it gets complicated, so I'll go through this slowly.
Vote Labour.
Except in Epsom, where you need to vote National (urgh!).
You're welcome!
And Ohariu where you can vote for whoever you want, just not Peter Dunne.
ReplyDeleteMany thanks for that. I'm going to write those two steps on the back of my EasyVote card.
ReplyDeleteAs long as the rest of the advice is followed you could vote for Dunne if you really wanted to- no harm done- he's as useful as tits on a bull!
ReplyDeleteI live in cow country where National could run a blue jelly fish and it would win with a 10,000+ majority. And a jellyfish would be a better MP than the sorry excuse for a human who currently represents my electorate.
ReplyDeleteMy only way of getting a decent MP is to move to another electorate.
You guys voting for a better Welfare policy for our Kiwi kids on disaster course? Choose wisely! Best you tax the rich eh! Grahame
ReplyDeleteI wonder if you could run us through this one more time? I'm not sure I fully grasp the nuances.
