Da poll

This has been and will be discussed thoroughly in the New Zealand blogsphere. I enjoyed NZPols thoughts on the issue. I also found that the Heralds reporting of the issue was more thoughtful than the Sunday Star Times. 

Given the amount of indirection being led I can only assume that a good dose of Behavioural Decision Theory is being applied to us voters. By all parties.

But as a cognitive miser I know that one of parties in this neck and neck race has attacked my community. And that if it is returned to power it will continue to attack other communities. All to save a few dollars.

So no matter how strongly I may believe in Labours other policies I will not be voting for them. And I now know of a lot of erstwhile Labour supporters in this community who will also not be voting for them... And I think that this pattern may well be repeated across all those communities that have suffered the cost of a network review.

Sleep well, Ms. Clark.
