Slowly but surely I'm preping some stuff. I'm transitioning my PC over to linux. Looking into tinking with home server stuff. A neocities site has been started (slowly) And of course I have a video in the works. Lets see if I can get that done before the end of june

Combine municipal parties with a proportional system like Single Transferable Vote (STV), which New Zealand has allowed its cities to use since 2004, and you have a more representative city government.

An infographic titled 2025 Wellington City Council election displays the distribution of primary votes and seats for various political groups across the city's wards. The data table indicates that the Labour Party, featuring mayor-elect Andrew Little, secured 29.21% of the primary vote and 6 seats, while Independents earned 35.68% and 5 seats. The Green Party received 20.37% of the vote for 4 seats, Independent Together, including Councillor Ray Chung, took 10.33% for 1 seat, and ACT Local received 3.64% of the vote with 0 seats. The main map and an inset for the Te Whanganui-a-Tara Māori ward use color shading to visualize vote share, with dark red representing Labour strongholds in the north, central, and Māori wards, grey covering the western areas for Independents, and bright green highlighting pockets of Green Party support in the south and east. Colored circles placed over the map segments represent the specific party affiliations of each elected councillor.

New from me at TVO, reiterating my position that Toronto's absence of formal political parties at the municipal level is bad and increasingly just us lying to ourselves. www.tvo.org/article/anal...
