Christchurch Elector

It's official. I received a letter from the New Zealand Registrar stating, "You are now enrolled as an elector for the General electorate of Christchurch Central." (Emphasis theirs) A month ago, I received letter from the registrar that was adamant that I enroll and that it was illegal not to. I have suffrage. I wonder if I have to be a citizen? Oh well, we'll see how long this farce can last. I actually like our member of parliament, Tim Barnett. A local high-end gossip magazine that I read, Avenues, had a nice article about him two months ago. He talked about principles from liberation theology which was refreshing. I like my Massachusetts representative, Edward Markey, a lot too.
