No, ACT are there so that Key can blame them for policy that might be unpopular, so he doesn't have to take the blame. Exhibit A: Charter Schools.
How is what ACT and the Nats do, any different from Green candidates standing in electorates and saying "only give us your Party Vote" so they don't split the left electorate vote? John Key doesn't actually get to cast Epsom residents votes for them you know.





hey!
shit's confusing, yo.

I hate all politicians. When I rule you all (and I will) they will be put to death and replaced with a functioning AI.

Well all will be just shiny once joyce confirms that the govt is going to take over the Novopay system. Frying pan into fire springs to mind. Joyce should be your best friend.

I neither like or dislike most of them, not actually having met them. But I also know that people are massively pre-disposed to like or dislike politicians based on whether they're in "our team" or not. so it's hardly a indication of any politicians actual merit.
The behaviour I expect of a politician is that he does what he says he will, or at the very least does what he can to advance the objectives his voters employed him for.
The behaviour I dislike in any politician is that of promising their supporters far more in benefits than they've actually earned. An objective that must logically be directly offset by denying others the benefits of their own making.

She wrote it when she was President of the Massey University Student Association - it has been published in many student mags over the last few years to demonstrate how much of hypocrite she is, along with details of the all the other benefits she scraped but had used herself before cos it was "too hard for her to work".
Highlighting her "do what I say, not what I do" rhetoric.
