Because the choices were so awful, I 'floated my vote' across two issues: gaining the choice of euthanasia and legalisation of cannabis (two litmus test of freedom issues for me).<br /><br />National's conservatives (Catholics) are never going to allow either of those, but every time I toyed with Labour, Greens, whatever, they'd come up with something (including Metiria) that made it impossible for me to vote them and live with myself. So, I've ended up back with ACT, knowing it will prop up the Catholics who will deny me the choice in death for so long it won't matter anymore.<br /><br />Gutted and disgusted.Mark Hubbardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02541153163041831880noreply@blogger.com
