The Election - who among us will vote National?

[Robert Taylor]

Probably voting National, but I'm right wing. Act may as well be a bunch of school kids squabbling over a sand pit, Peter Dunne does fuck all.

Winston will hopefully never be in parliament again, that lying greasy fucker should be shot... twice. Don't get me started on the hippies either.

Labour was in charge for 9 of the most prosperous years ever... look where that got us.

Very well said

Why would you vote on a single issue when the stark reality is theres more to life than riding motorcycles?

Well it seems to me that the situation we are in is fairly well entrenched, and external events, such as global crises, earthquakes, oil spills and oil prices have more impact on our lives than a political party's 'manifesto'.

It seems to me that no political party actually has "The Answer" (TM) and whilst it may very well be extremely selfish, it seems the best thing to do is to vote along the lines of "what will allow me to best continue the parts of my lifestyle that I enjoy DESPITE the best efforts of our political masters.

It was selfish voting by the masses of bludgers and the politically correct social engineers that mostly got us here, so fuck it, let's ride.

If whoever gets in this next election doesn't manage any serious improvement during their term I fully expect to take my tax and spending dollars overseas before the subsequent election.

Even Helen couldn't bear to live in the post-socialist distopia she created and has fucked off. (Not that that is a bad thing...)

If anyone thinks that either party can sensibly juggle the demands of balancing the books and appeasing the lazy and self-indulgent then they are barking.


As for what's best for employers? My employer absolutely creamed it when there were subsidies, tarriffs and import bans left right and centre. Good luck getting those back.

But that's just it...
We weren't prosperous because of Labour, any more than we are now struggling because of National.

me sentiments...exactly.

NO, that's not what i'm saying at all.

No different than reading the book Absolute Power- the Helen Clark years and believing every little drop of information as gospel or even worse, ACC stats on bikers habits of falling off.

Bingo. I'd happily pay more tax if I thought politicians would actually do some good with it.

(BTW, that's why the Greens do really well in overseas votes - they'll vote for "Clean and green" if they don't have to live with it)

Unfortunately all National seems to be doing is repeating the same old tired policies election after election. Only thing they've done different is change the wrapping paper. Labour or Greens for me, just having difficulty deciding which one. Toss a coin maybe !

[bogan]

It strikes me as a bit strange that National seem to want to sell off the assets, while Labour want to export the production (going by the min wage increase again). Do any of the parties actually have plans to make jobs for Kiwis? Because there are many good people looking for them.

[Robert Taylor]

Don't you see the inherent contradiction in what you are saying? Or am I reading it wrong? Surely if Labour was the Government during our most prosperous years, then why not bring them back again ????

They werent the reason for the ''prosperity''. Unless I came down in the last shower it was all about high overseas commodity prices and demand, the housing market going ballistic and too much easy credit.
Our real wealth producers had a whole raft of stealth taxes and levies then placed upon them by that despicable bitch and her mottly lot. Of course those levies are not removed when the economy cycles back.
Taxpayer funds were squandered on lavish holidays for male cabinet ministers and their boyfriends and hip hop tours. What a circus. Worst Government since that idiot Norman Kirk.

I really don't give a fuck who you vote for, but please vote for a reason.

When I'm walking home in winter by the light of my hand-cranked torch and I get a stone in my birkenstocks, I'd like to believe that it was because most of the country didn't want deep sea drilling, rather than down to a coin toss.

Just think, if the coin went the other way I could just as easily have been in a state house cooking P in the laundry.
