I know who I'm going to vote for in the local elections and I might also vote in the general election, depending.

That doesn't mean I'll watch TV and get up to date with which hot spicy pajeeta babe Hipkins and Luxon are dancing with. I don't care about the news or policies, I'm going to vote in council elections based on what I know about the candidates and their voting record. Simple as.
