'Politics' should not be a synonym for 'government'
On my way to vote I walked past a bakery
and saw through the window a pain au chocolat.
I thought, 'maybe I will buy that on my way back'
I stood in the polling booth and ticked three boxes.
There was one section of the form I didn't fill in
as if it were a test that I hadn't sufficiently studied for
I felt guilty for voting so ignorantly
(I was much more well informed during the last election),
but I also would have felt guilty if I hadn't voted at all
I would feel guilty about being apathetic.
Is it a paradox to feel guilty about being apathetic?
I have always believed that an apathetic person is a pathetic person
On the way home I walked past the bakery,
only 15 minutes had passed but the store was now closed.
I feel most guilty that I cared more about losing the pastry than the election
and saw through the window a pain au chocolat.

John Key is weird
things that are important:
the income gap
race relations
the environment
education
things that are not important:
subsidising big companies that pollute the environment
selling all our shit
talking about domestic violence and child poverty and then forcing people to spend most of their income on GST
doing other stupid stuff

the Greens are gonna do real well
MMP
people are gonna get real confused about the referendum on the voting system
