<p>Despite the fact that we may be just shambling toward a <a href=/back-to-the-ark" tabindex="1">messy repeat of last time</a>, I would urge all you Wellington residents out there to get out and vote in the <a href="http://www.wellington.govt.nz/haveyoursay/elections/index.html" tabindex="1">local body elections</a>. So far, only <a href="http://www.wellington.govt.nz/haveyoursay/elections/2007/returns.html" tabindex="1">11% of eligible voters</a> in the Lambton Central ward have cast ballots. Some political capital, huh?</p>
