Declining interest in by-elections

Why? You tell me.

    because we have representation without taxation.

    the options are

    National: Communist
    ACT: Communist (in practice - since they've been in perpetual alliance with National)
    Labour: Communist
    Green: Communist
    Mana: Communist (Maori Preference)
    Maori: Communist (Maori Preference)
    NZ First: Communist
    1Law4All: Communist (White Preference)
    Conservative: Communist, Christian

    the question is not why so few people vote in bi-elections, or in Maori seats normally. The question is why so many people bother to vote at all.

    Another reason: the racist seats are an anachronism and should be abolished.

    The interesting one in this set is Mana --- does it reflect how close the by-election is likely to be.
