Curent voting intentions: (I'll not do UK because that depends on my constituency's candidates, and I haven't got a clue what I should pick as my constituency.) Next elections coming up are local elections in the spring of 2006. We have a very nice, but very complicated system for local elections - there are 93 seats on the city council, 19 on the ward council, and you have 93 votes for the one, 19 for the other, and may cast up to three votes for one candidate. It is possible to tick a little box and vote a straight party ticket, or even to tick that box and cast some more votes down ticket, which means the remainder of your votes go party-line. It's also possible to vote party-line but strike some candidates you disagree with. I'll probably do as I did last time: Vote straight party Green, strike some people I disagree with, liberally sprinkle extra votes on low-on-the-list Greens I like, or just know personally, on Social Democrats I like or know, and on some protest leftwing parties.
