New Zealand General Election 2011 - The drinking game edition

Firstly - Yes. Two blogs in 24 hours (For like the first time in a year and a half). Technically one of them was only because Twitlonger was (is still?) broken (?) or something yesterday.

Secondly - Right. The New Zealand General Election 2011 is this weekend. Please vote everyone!

Lastly - So here we will be on Saturday evening, watching the election coverage, and for some reason, my second thought is "How can this get turned into a drinking game?".

Now by no means do I recommend anyone drink irresponsibly, and you should certainly, never, ever, EVER drink and drive. This should be obvious based on how low-key the rules for the drinking game are as listed below.

So my rules for the New Zealand General Election 2011 drinking game are:

Every time one of these occurs, you take a drink of whatever you're drinking, be it beer, wine, spirits, mixer, whatever...

* Every time the word 'referendum' is mentioned.

* Every time your electorate is mentioned (People in Epsom will probably get wasted)

* Every time the MP you voted for is mentioned.

* Every time there is a display of 'how seats in parliament will look based on current projections'.

...Think I'll run with that. Probably kinda tame, but that's all good. Might manage to think of a few more.
