Jane Bowron: Yin and yang of election politicsKEVIN STENT/STUFF Two-term National list MP Jian Yang, right, gives his maiden speech in Parliament. Newsroom also maintained that Yang has, more than once, attracted the attention of our Security Intelligence Service (SIS). The still-undecided will hang back till election day to work out their strategy. If it is illegal to have hoardings up on election day and for politicians to still plight their troths to the electorate, then why are we allowed to vote early? There's something civic-minded and community-building in making a day of it and celebrating our hard-won franchise together on the day.
