Poll Closes Tonight! (Saturday) — It’s election year, as if anyone who watches the nightly news needed to be told again – and that means political jostling for the hearts and minds of kiwis of all interests.

Here at Weatherwatch, the climate and environment are our business – and we wanted to get a guage on where our readers rank these issues in terms of political importance.

Do you think it’s a hot button topic? Will the election swing on an environmental issue, or are climate related issues taking a back seat this year for you personally?

Let us know by voting in our special two week long poll, and maybe tell us what issues in particular appeal to you personally, and we’ll summarise the results next week.
