Long pre-election-season political post.

If you are on the electoral role in NZ you probably received a letter from the National Party this week, or are about to. If you are like me your first instinct on seeing "Leader's Office National Party" on the front of the envelope was to drop it straight in the recycling. Believe it or not I am asking you not to do that.

Inside is a party statement which is not worth reading[1], but on the back of this is a survey (pictured) which I urge you to fill out and return by Freepost, especially of you are not a National supporter. It's a little thing, but someone will see the results and there is a slim chance enough of them might have a trickle-up effect on policy. Also if I understand how Freepost works NZ Post get like a buck for every survey returned (from parliamentary services or some such not the National party coffers unfortunately), which is a better use of our tax dollars than much of National/Act policy.
