For instance, I know of no one in my circle, other than me, who has the slightest interest in this chat room, and as for the online newspaper, I think even less people care or know about that. I think you are working on the assumption that this chat line and the dot.com newspaper are major players in TV and I think that is far from the truth.
I will add, that the time to worry about your representatives is before they get elected and not after the fact! How many people really have any interest in who is running for election in their particular Village. I think it comes down to the same ol' same ol' - let someone else do it!

You make some good points. This issue regarding the MMP'S has become more of an emotional issue than political IMHO.
The online survey is far from a "valid" survey but not entirely useless. Remember when the cost ($300,000 plus) was mentioned was when residents started their "push" to drop the idea of side stripping the paths. Money is a big issue and can get the emotions going very quickly.
It's probably true---most TV residents could care less about the whole issue.
