    F&V time: This blog's date function is so set as to start a new day at approximately local sunset. (Why, if we have "day" and "night," should a new "day" start in the middle of the night?)

    F&V Coordinates: A compass may be helpful for navigating the orchard--a Political Compass, that is.

    Your Orchardist's coordinates:

    • –3.88 Economic left
    • –6.26 Social libertarian
    ...approximately the location of The Green Party of Aotearoa New Zealand and close to the ideological positions of Gandhi, Nelson Mandela, and Ralph Nader.

    Fruits & Votes encourages the flourishing of all democratic political viewpoints, respectfully presented.
