Single transferable voting for Hamilton City Council.

Neville from Hamilton East

Hamilton City Council is considering moving to STV voting. Have your say at www.yourcityelections.co.nz...
I think STV helps to build a sense of connection with councillors. While voters will not necessarily get their first pick onto council, they will almost inevitably get people elected who were just a little lower among their preferences. It removes the need for strategic voting. I often vote for people who I think are probably outside chances. In this situation, a vote for other candidates is effectively a vote against my favoured candidate so I vote for that candidate only. STV would enable me to participate more fully. I could rank all candidates knowing that if my favoured candidate is knocked out, at least my next rankings will count.

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.

This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.

Do you think this ban is reasonable?
