#LeftwithEnough is the hashtag from the bi-weekly leftwing twitter chat on twitter from the past few months. There will be use of the hashtag on Saturday night.

No doubt TV3 will have some good coverage including impressive graphics and political commenters, but that has to be weighed up against the presence of Patrick Gower and Matthew Hooton. I’d say both warrant a boycott. Also, this is the first election since John Campbell left, just saying.

TVNZ will have the wonderful Hillary Barry. But it will also have Hoskings. Enough said. I’m sure they will have some good political commentators too, but I can’t find their election night coverage page on their website so I assume they’re not that interested in having people making choices about watching online.
