There is this easy and very interesting quiz that suggests who your views on policies aligns with for this election.

I am still unsure though!

If you're unsure, may I suggest the single-issue party (http://www.alcp.org.nz/) most likely to get you (that'd be the plural, generalised 'you', by the way, not BuFfy specifically) into my pants if you admit to voting for it?

OK, I just looked at that quiz.
It's bullshit.
Where the fuck are 'personal freedom and civil liberties' in the issues list?

It came up with NZFirst for me as well. But it didn't ask the hard questions and every question that was asked was aimed at the center. As an indicator it fails.

I took the poll and got the following result:
The ACT Party shares a 75% similarity with your beliefs
Crime and Punishment 63%
Economy and Taxes 67%
Education 92%
Employment 75%
Family and Morals 100%
Foreign Policy and Trade 75%
Government and Leadership 75%
Health Care 75%
Which seems about right for me.

Well F-me
My results say NZ first - stuff that, just what we need Peters in power.
I thought 12 years or so ago that if that fella played his cards right he could be MP - he didn't and it is looking unlikely at even being a MP!
VOTE FOR ALLANB
I'll remove all taxes off motorcycle tyres and semi-synthetic oil :bleh:

i think that poll is based on what politicians say their policies are, not on what they actually do.
thats why none of the results make sense to us.

I hear you on this one. I find it interesting that politicians think the only way to win is to bitch about the others and prove how wrong they are. Whatever happened to proving what you do?
What about all the roading policies?!?! We don't mean enough to them obviously.
For the record, for me, it said NZ First, then National about 10% behind, then close with United Future. Interesting that those 2 are first and second. I would have thought they were at the opposite ends.
For someone that is completely neutral, in my opinion Labour and National are getting more like each other every day. But, I suppose, so is the public so you have to chase the votes.
Give me someone that can lead the country for the people and the country, not a particular group and not just to cover their asses and pay the wages.
That will never happen :)

Thank god I have already voted .. cos I might have taken their advice and gone with NZ First 69 % (not bloody likely) .... with a close following of National 66% and Labour 65% ... fark me I would be conflicted!

What scares me as much as the stupidity of the average Kiwi voter, is the fact that people have to use a website to be told who to vote for.
Think about what personal freedoms and liberties that you have lost over the previous 9 years, then look at the other parties.

Exactly. I'm somewhat bewildered that some people still don't know who to vote for given the disastrous past 9 years which we have NOTHING to show for. Especially after several years of favourable market conditions. I mean take a look around you. The country is a mess. 9 fucken years they've had!!! If Helen was the CEO of a large Company, she would have been fired in the first year.
The trouble is there is absolutely no point voting for any of the smaller parties as all but 2 are retards like Labour.
So who does that leave? Duh.

the greens?
The funny thing about the greens is that as soon as they formed a political party, I stopped recycling. I also tip used oil down the drain, have the largest carbon footprint I've ever had, chop down native trees, don't conserve water or electricity, kill more than I can eat and a few years back, shot an annoying Tui.
The list does go on but these are the highlights.
There is nothing wrong with the planet! It's been here for millions of years. Humans have only occupied it for tens of thousands of years and the industrial age has only been around for about 200 years. It's fine, it's people like the Greens that are fucked.

With the honorable exception of Bill and Ben - should a miracle occur and the lads get to 5%, because they have a list of only two people there will be an "underhang" in parliament. They are not allowed to whistle up some mates to fill the seats so you will be putting three MPs out of work and saving the country some money!

First point, I dont want to get into your pants, and I doubt you would want ME there anyway.
Second Point. I am not a smoker but seriously believe in legalizing cannabis because of the benefits that I can see of it, especially to the old and those in pain. Get the police off the back of those who use it for themselves, and get them to target the real criminals!
Give everyone a quota of say 2 plants at any one time that they can cultivate at home.
Let people grow for commercial reasons for the likes of the fibre, or oil, or even to supply the cafe market
Also with that there will need to be some test to see if people are too stoned to drive, although how many people have accidents being stoned, they are too paranoid to do over 40kmh....(at least I used to be when I did smoke)...
