All 27 promises delivered on time!

If Labour were in they would have spent the whole 100 days explaining why Winston Peters wasnt a crook and that he would make a excellent Deputy PM.

Way to go John - Keep it up. 100 days and you have done more good than Labour did in a very long time !

And he's currently polling as the most popular and preferred PM of all time.

Ignore SkyRyder, he's just having a bad month.

Oakie

27th February 2009, 08:48

Yeah. It's sort of like you don't really have to worry about what they're doing in there now because there is an air of common sense about the place. They are doing stuff that needs to be done like making it easier for small businesses to run ... not worrying about the size of our shower heads.

I also believe that there is a refreshing lack of personal attack in the politics now ... and to be fair it seems that all parties are playing that game. For the first time in a long time I have confidence in the people who are running our country.

They're not spectacular but they are pragmatic.

Mikkel

And reading the NBR this morning:

"New Zealanders are very positive at the moment. Not only are the polls shining for the new Government, but the recession has yet to dampen overall confidence in the country’s direction.

Roy Morgan measure fortnightly whether people think New Zealand is moving in the right or the wrong direction. For most of 2008, 35% to 45% said the wrong direction.

Since the election, only 20% of New Zealanders are saying the country is heading in the wrong direction – despite the recession. Around 65% say it is in the right direction, giving a massive net 45% positive.

Still - Im sure that banning showerheads, banning lightbulbs, stopping spending on roading, and tax increases etc would have put Labour in the positives as well :tui:

27th February 2009, 09:45

What I'm most happy about is that some of this popularity is directly attributable to the fact that Liarbour's election campaign was simply to attack JK and bang the "hidden agenda" meme.

Guess what, he's a good bloke and there's no hidden agenda, so all the worry and fear that was created in people that were prepared to risk a blue vote just to get shot of Clark has become relief and happiness as election promises were upheld...

Well done to John Keys and his Party so far. Now lets see some positive action being taken on the law and order issues that are haunting the country these days.
We have voted past MPs into government based on what they were going to do to address this problem but unfortunately it has been to no avail.
Maybe this time we can have some results.

Mully

27th February 2009, 10:26

Maybe this time we can have some results.

What I like about the whole National Party, and JK in particular, is that he is ambitious for the whole country. He seems to believe in NZ's ability to grit our collective teeth and pick ourselves up by the bootstraps and come through this recession in a strong position.

I don't agree with everything they say, but on the whole, it's great. "This is what we campaigned on, this is what we have done"

I do think the tax cuts should be delayed (fuck, did I just say that??), but ironically, if they halt the tax cuts, Skyryder will be screaming about how we all got sucked in by the liars. Whereas, if they carry on, the lefties are screaming that they are unaffordable.

Personally, had I $50 million, I'd be looooooong goooooooone. Which I guess proves he's a better person than I.

27th February 2009, 10:40

The tax cuts are already paid for by the Kiwisaver changes.

And what makes this better is that the billions that were to go into KiwiSaver subsidies would have been locked up for decades.

Instead they are adding to the fiscal stimulus so badly needed now.

the underlined bit is from Farrier - I dont want to take credit for his wording.

All of the lefties that read and understand what they are commenting on should know that.

But the majority of them simply read the headline and bleat based on that. There is a reason that the 'core' supporters of Labour are unemployed and lower social economical. Its not because they are down trodden - its because they just ain't that smart.

Shit, 4% in a survey thought Uncle Helen is still the leader of the Opposition! An even bigger % didn't even know who Goff was..... I wonder how many of those were actual Labour Supporters.....

At least they have the motivation to prove themselves good - and are doing so.

Labour only tried to show National (and esp Key) as bad (as opposed to proving themselves as good) - hence the negative campaign.

They did however prove themselves very willing to give up morals and stand by the likes of Winston - in order to hold onto power regardless of the cost.
