I was agreeing with Don Frye, leftards are so vocal online it's hard to know if they actually are a good guage of the public opinion. The last election which he quoted figures from is a great example, you'd have though Key was toast if you believed the stuff that was turning up online. My favourite was every time a poll was mentioned showing something close to the actual results leftards would froth about how the polls were wrong because cellphones . It's no wonder a Key thanked David Farrier , his polls were bang on . -
<p>So what's the actual procedure for voting?</p>
<p>What day?</p>
<p>Where do you vote?</p>
<p>What times is voting open?</p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Is it just like a general election (well my last one was early 1990's) where you drag your carcass down to a school or some such, get your name ticked off and then put an "x" somewhere?</p> -

Same here, the leftard blogs were a joy to behold in 2014 . -
Postal referendum, if not, I fear we would see issues at polling booths ;)<br><br><a class="bbc_url" href="http://www.elections.org.nz/events/referendums-new-zealand-flag-0/voting-second-referendum">http://www.elections.org.nz/events/referendums-new-zealand-flag-0/voting-second-referendum</a>

<p>Pretty good system, only relies on reading , ticking and finding a post box. Over here it's much easier, whoever gives you 20-50 bucks is the one you vote for easy peezy - then the army takes over but you've spent your money by then :)</p>

<p>I think it would require an FBI investigation. We have been told no-one wanted this referendum & no-one wants the news flag, so there would have to be paranormal phenomena to explain it I reckon.</p>

<p>(I'm still expecting the old flag to win by about 55% to 45%).</p> -
<p>Vote away<br><br>
Was in Auckland yesterday, saw both flags hanging in the light breeze on the Harbour Bridge, reckon the new one looks better in real life.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>This is a private poll, so fear not the extreme fors/againsts in voting! </p> -

<p>We've also been told its a distraction from the tppa sighing,a massive waste of money, a failed process because no vexoligists were involved [the flag expert who was on the committee doesn't count apparently] a vanity project for Key, already decided by Key so the vote is a farce, a way of avoiding treaty obligations. </p>
<p>I'd vote for change if the new flag was a picture of Gerry Brownlee 69ing Helen Clark on a green and gold background to avoid being associated with the sorts of losers who buy into that crap.</p> -

Who knew cleaning up dog shit wouldnt be the grossest thing id come across today.<br><br>

<p>Nope - but based on some of the fucked up stuff available on Amazon, there would be people out there who would buy the Gerry and Helen adult colouring book.</p> -

<p>The timing I guess, there's been no real push for change and the two previous attempts failed to get traction. If someone had said " hang on is this the time to be doing this, we still have a generation that has a very real attachment to this flag and we should respect that" I could understand that. I'd still want change though.</p>
<p>The reasons offered have been largely centred around a rabid dislike for Key and national , how weak to let feelings like that decide our flag.</p> -

<p>funny - I wrote on a FB post on pro-keep the flag that it looked it was going to stay due to polls suggesting 60% in their favour, and I was attacked by left, right and sundry for hugely over-estimating the support, told I was likely on the Key payroll etc. One guy said he would bet his life it's more like 25% and that shows how full of shit I was.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>It's equal parts ridiculous and equal parts embarrassing.</p>
