I think e-voting would be great!
One reason I like it (besides it being so easy) is that Liarbore supporters would be unlikely to use even this method (given that they’re bone-idle *and* less likely to own a PC).

Key didn’t sound that enthusiastic the other day. Perhaps that’s because the Greens would out gun National on evoting!

Possibly so, but on the upside it would confuse the shit out of Winnie's supporters

If you want long term Socialist dominance this is the way to go. The conditioning of young minds by our Education zealots together with the number on handouts while waiting for the right opportunity will ensure the bigger the promises the bigger the victory.

The postal voting system was irrelevant to many young voters – most of whom paid little or no attention to local politics, he said.

So, why do you want to encourage more of those people to vote?

Just don’t let Talent2 get anywhere near the software. And what Public Service Committee is going to specify the software requirements for this?

They should trial this in a couple of electorates at the next general election. The savings will be considerable. And the next census could also be done on line as well. People can simply register if that is their preference and then log in at the specified date. Or what ever. The cost savings and convenience could be considerable. The Internet rolls on changing our lives in all sorts of ways.
