But yeah, given that more than 18% of New Zealanders actually voted for parties other than Labour and National at the last election, the amount that actually considered a third-party vote should surely be significantly higher than that, so I can't fault you in intentions. :) Pingpong- don’t you remember that 73% of statistics are made up?

It just amazes me that TV3 thinks that people won't be interested in a third party debate - at least 50% of the voting population will at least be considering voting for a minor party, and should be interested in hearing from their spokespeople. Did I hear that National and Labour aren't fronting up to the RNZ debates, or is it just Clark and Key? If the latter, good riddance, I say!
