Hard News: Democracy Night, in reply to Stephen Hill,
I can’t see the numbers on my screen properly.
Plus the turnout was only 74 percent.

Hard News: Democracy Night, in reply to Craig Ranapia,
But it would have just been a little classy of Burns not to bring red flight into it.
There was some research done for the Canty Health Board into post-disaster demographics that found the most likely to move were poorer people, who aren’t as firmly tied to property or work. So I think this was fair comment.

Hard News: Democracy Night, in reply to Russell Brown,
Turning on the radio to hear the Prime Minister again apparently not knowing what words mean was vaguely dispiriting this morning.
You listened? What if it was a private conversation? ;-)

Legal Beagle: Election '11: the special votes, in reply to Sacha,
many media still haven’t adjusted to MMP rather than FPP
With MMP and the rise of the Greens I think everyone has to lose the mindset that elections are a 2-horse race.

Legal Beagle: Election '11: the special votes, in reply to Andrew Geddis,
it does take some time to get this absolutely right.
I think it's great that all our votes get physically counted, under scrutiny, twice! And can be counted again if there's any doubt.

Hard News: Democracy Night, in reply to Scott A,
Can Labour get back all those Green voters?
Shouldn't Labour be trying to get back some voters from National? And all those who didn't bother voting? I'm not seeing the Greens as the threat to Labour here.

I'm really really disappointed that so many people didn't vote. No doubt many of them thought the election was a foregone conclusion...and voilà! It was a foregone conclusion.

I’m finding this the best single-page chart of results/predictions.
Think I may need a stiff drink soon if National’s lead doesn’t start dropping. God help us if they get to govern alone.
Delighted to see the Greens doing so well though.

Capture: Capture One, in reply to Marie,
Congratulations on breaking the cat barrier
Cat barrier? The internet knows no cat barrier ;-)

Seems to me that what we can do here that’s a bit special is have conversations about stuff using pictures. We already have FB for recent family-and-friends pictures, and there are plenty of places out there that have contests of photographic skill…but here we have a community that loves to share enthusiasms and anecdotes, and now we can do that with words and pictures, how awesome is that?!
And Ian and Carol’s collaboration…that sort of clever playfulness is a key part of PAS.
Just my 2c.
