"We promise to cut down on needless gravy..."

Obviously taking an interest in politics and studying it at uni makes a me a bit of a political junky. Today the 2.8million electors of New Zealand go to the polls to elect a new government. They have an unusual system of electing members of parliament, one too complicated for me describe here - but they do have a handy example ballot paper.

Personally, I think the sensible vote is for the Leek. I'd be hoping it can form a coalition with Chicken, forming a pie that is popular in the electorate.

That would tasty policy.
