Key Government out on its own. No one else to blame!

[swbarnett]

It seems obvious that labour voters liked their local guy and voted for him as a mark of confidence in him but they resoundingly voted against the Labour Party and its policy.

Now, this is what I have a huge problem with. If you don't like the policies of the party your local candidate stands for then how the hell can you vote for them? On the one hand you're voting for those policies and on the other you're voting against them. Voters just need to make up their minds once and for all and stop being hypocritical.

This is why I'd like to scrap MMP in favour of straight proportional represnetation. Get rid of the electorate vote and just have the party vote.

Just goes to show what a stupid system MMP really is ---- like a (swing) bridge to nowhere!

Disappointed in Maori sucking back up to Labour instead of running their own boat! (Err - Whaka) Labour has done nothing for Maori ... absolutely nothing! Ever!

Final tally will change fuckall though, Nats stil have the coalition to form the govt they would have had anyway.

Radical thought process here, but maybe they are voting as New Zealanders rather than voting by race. To me, that is one of the better outcomes this election.

True!

Maori have thumbed their nose at the need for the Maori seats but if they had used them more wisely from the start they would be more ready to abolish them now!

Labour sucked them in, promised the world and gave them nothing in return ... kept them close, kept them quiet and kicked their arse!

At least Peter Dunne gets another term to sleep through.

I'd hate for him to have to get a real job.

It was voted in by the General public ... by majority vote.

What the public WANTS ... The Public gets (GOT) ...

Why don't they form their OWN political party ... ???

Oh wait ... THEY DID ...

As explained to me many years ago: Labour was always struggling to get enough votes and there was always a 10% money reformist group around.

Labour enticed the monetary reformists to join with them and if successful they would implement some of their key policies! (much like MMP today)

Once Labour gained the treasury benches (won the election) they made Michael Joseph Savage (reformer) Prime minister and placed all the others in menial positions or posted them overseas. (out of the way)

John A Lee (Minister of housing? I think.) was not part of the reform group but was a pain in the arse so they (Labour) expelled him!

The first Labour Minister of finance was Walter Nash .. orthodox finance to the hilt ... consequently nothing changed and the debt system remained the same!

Trust Labour? ... Not on your Nelly ... they will shit on their own every time!

Always wondered

They run focus groups
They know what the voting majority want

Ive always felt the money has been available . . , tendering dont get me started

The average person wants the same things

House they can afford .. quality food on the table at least 3 x a day

Health care when they need it

A education that allows a person to participate in society

So the million dollar question is why cannot one or any of the retards address those problem

When this retard can solve it in half a glass of wine
