Nope, this way I don't have to do jury duty.
I actually wouldn't mind doing that. Get a whole day where you listen to an elaborate story and then make a decision that affects someone else's life in a significant way; sounds groovy.

But no, I don't vote.

Jury Duty is not as fun as you'd think.

There isn't even a reason for us to change the flag, it's just John Key doing his best to divide people and distract from any actual issues.

Nah, you guys should change it. Fuck the Union Jack and fuck the UK.

If there was some cultural event that gave it a good reason, and if it wasn't a fucking traitor pushing for it, then I would happily consider a new flag.

But as it currently stands there is no justification at all for changing the flag, especially considering the character of the party pushing for it.

Registered but haven't voted. My info arrived in the mail 2 weeks too late to vote in the last Election.

Same

I got a very negative opinion on parties by the time I could vote back in 2012. Nothing but people choosing their party instead of looking at their policies and actions. They treat it like football teams and it makes me sick.

Whoa, you're from NZ too?

And yeah, I don't see much of a point in changing our flag, if there's an option to vote to keep the current one then I'll do that most likely

Registered Liberal Democrat

BaconShelf · October 15, 2015, 06:18:48 AM

No, I'm 18 next year. Missed out on this year's vote by one year so now I have to wait until 2019, when I do plan on voting. Assuming there's anyone worth voting for. With how broken the British voting system is and how shit all the parties are, I don't even know who I'd want to vote for or whether it would be worth it.

It's because everyone always gets the NZ and Australian flags confused, they're practically the same.

This was my exact mentality when I registered back then and I went independent as well.

Spoiler

I think I still voted for all democrats back in 2012 but I can't quite remember.

CK97 · October 15, 2015, 09:34:00 AM

Not yet, I just turned 18 in April so I haven't had a chance to vote pn anything.

I'll vote in local elections and referendums when they come up.

Just curious: how is it beneficial?

He's saying he votes for the least viable Democrat in the primaries to sabotage the party.

Registered Democrat. Voted in every midterm and presidential election that's come up since I turned 18.

It's about the most dishonest thing you can possibly do that isn't actually rigging the vote.

EDIT: And about the most useless considering how few people who are politically active and would actually bother to do such a thing. Certainly not enough to affect elections.
