To all those people who voted National.

Hindsight is a wonderful thing .

But foresight is more valuable.

This was most predictable - as are the economic reforms on the horizon, tax cuts, holding out on capital gains tax, stripping of back of social and public services, voucher systems in schools, bulk funding, asset stripping, user pays etc

Even if they aint attempting to privatise it this term, they definitely will the next. And the problem is that it takes 20 years to build, 3 years to undermine and 6 years to completely dismantle.

And most people seem to memory of the average amnesia sufferer

I voted National. If there was an election tomorrow I'd vote that way again. The ACC thing sucks but I've never voted based on one issue and won't start now.

Yeah - from memory you're an "human resources" manager or is it "consultant" these days? Of course you voted for the business party. You're anti-worker by job description

I voted National also. However this issue alone is enough to sway me to vote against them.
Also it seems that any form of referendum, submissions and alike are ignored. Pity, because I thought democracy was part of our constitution.

JK also disappoints me, he's a gutless wimp diplomat with no spine.

I voted National and I've been pretty disappointed by the pricks.

I'll be voting ACT in the next election.

As I've written several times, the vitriolic hatred that Helen Clark has evoked in white middle-class males went (and goes) way beyond policies and principles. You just can't hack the fact that she is not only just about the most intelligent prime minister this country has ever had, but a (gasp!) woman (which is why the constant snide remarks about her sexuality (well, if she's a lesbo she's not a real woman, is she?). As for all this nonsense about 'social engineering" - that's just another buzz word to hide either prejudice or stupidity.

Go fuck yerself you gay boy.

[Headbanger]

I voted National, and thank fuck we got rid of Labour.

At the moment I'm pretty fuckin worked up, and at this time I could go either way (no, that's not a reference to mansex) But I'll see how we (meaning we the people of NZ) have fared when the next election rolls around.

[oldrider]

Ha! I didn't!
I voted Labour!

OK, but what's the difference?

This is a socialist country facing problems created by socialist policies!

Politicians know the answers are to the right of centre but are afraid to reach for them!

They (the politicians) are dependant on left wing voters in order to gain/retain office!

The whole situation would be funny, if it wasn't so bloody tragic!

Watch John Key turn himself inside out trying to talk out of both sides of his mouth at the same time! (Trying to have a bob each way)

He really wants to keep the photo opportunities rolling! (he loves that part of the job)

But has to shape up as prime minister as well, what a bummer! That's why he is using Don Brash as his fall guy!

Good cop, bad cop, it's an old trick but it might just work! Yeah, right! (Tui anyone?)

He IS Santa.

Interesting that pre election last year this site was staunchly pro National.I never supported Labour,but just to voice some doubts about National and John Key would get you shouted down as a commie Labour supporter.There were a couple of rabid National supporters dripping venom,who seem to be mysteriously absent these days.Also one prominent member who said privatisation of ACC was a good thing....strangely absent from ACC discussions.

I think there were a lot of first time voting sheep here last year.

Two gangs who dress the same, talk the same and even under a microscope, they look the same.

One spends one cuts
One is white one is black
Ones rich ones poor
The political paradigm is such a boor!
