Parochial Wellington posting

TVHE is a bunch of current and former Wellingtonians so, via The Wellingtonista, here is a map of how we voted down here.
Tom at The Wellingtonista has done an amazing job with the data so click the map to see a detailed breakdown by polling booth. Interestingly, the CBD is a haze of red, whilst the other ‘town’ area of Lower Hutt looks like a National voting zone. State housing areas around Naenae and Cannon’d Creek are vehemently for Labour, but the yuppie zones of Whitby and Oriental Bay vote National. National also got the farmers’ vote from Ohariu Valley, Whiteman’s Valley and Pauatahanui.
I guess the only thing that surprises me is how solidly the CBD is for Labour. I guess we are a bunch of lefty liberal types after all… sorry Goonix!

Yep. All this shows is the bloating of the bureaucracy combined with self-interested voters.

The only thing that surprises me is that you are surprised by these results. And please stop bastardising the use of the term liberal. 🙂

I don’t think policy analysts lose their jobs with a change of government: they just get ‘restructured’.
And I think the battle to stop ‘liberal’ being perverted has already been lost, sorry. At least insofar as most political blogs are concerned, anyway.

Well hopefully after the Sir Roger Dougles-led razorgang have been through the public service the displaced will go and find jobs in the private sector and hence won’t need to vote to save their job in the future.

I found this site on the internet and felt I had to share it with you all.
It doesn’t matter what you are interested in, it doesn’t matter what you do
for your day job, in these tough times a little extra is always appreciated.
I spoke with the owner of the site last night and he asked me to pass the
word that their doors will close once the site is up and running. People are
starting to sign up in droves because you will immediately see this is THE
REAL STUFF. The stuff that the other people making money wish you didn’t get
to know about. You might have heard phrases like this before so all I can
say is, check it out quickly before it is closed for good.
I signed up at http://www.theaffiliatepalace.com and they are showing me how
to make money on the internet. These guys are the real deal, if you don’t
believe me check out their page, they will give you one of their methods
absolutely free, so that you can see the quality of their service. Just try
it for yourself, if it doesn’t work it’s cost you nothing and you’ve lost
half an hour of your time, but if it does like it did for me… Oh Boy!
They teach 5 new methods every month and they also have everything you need
to start selling online right away, even if you don’t have your own product,
web page or hosting.
If you are feeling brave, I will see you there.

or the majority of the public service is in Wellington and the policy analysts voted Labour out of fear of losing their jobs?
Haven’t made my way through Eric’s paper yet, but aparantly the ignorent are more likely to vote for labour too, not that I think you are ignorant Ruapraha;)
Very interesting picture though. Having lived in Whitby way back in the day I wasn’t at all surprised to see that Porirura is heavily red and then suddenly it switches to blue in whitby
