The 2020 Election Thread

[Swoop]

So Labour promise to increase the Minimum Wage and double sick leave entitlements. Nice of them to spend employers' money instead of the taxpayers on this promise.

I love how Taxcinda is bitching about national promising tax cuts (these were cancelled when cindy got in, remember?) but bribing the gullible with higher min-wage AND double sick days? Really?

At least we know an election promise from liarbour will not be kept.

As long as a Dr's certificate is required to get any sick pay ... I have no issue with that.

If they increase the Benefits ... they wont need to increase the minimum wage.

Fewer people not (wanting to be) working than are working.

Win win ..

Where does taxpayer money come from? Asking for a friend who thinks that ratepayers, taxpayers and employers are different people.

If you do not get paid ... or spend any money that does not require a tax to be included in the transaction ... you are not a taxpayer.

Sounds complicated. Would having a good accountant count also?

So, TVNZ and liarbour are not releasing the latest Colmar Brunton poll...

Possibly like the herald's poll that was taken down a few days ago. When the reality does not match the rhetoric of the regressive leftists' things have to be changed. I wonder when they will start using their chinese communist overlord's line of "You have mis-spoken!"?

Odd you went very very quiet.......

I voted. Mrs Oakie voted.
We did not tell each other what we were going to do beforehand.

Turns out we cancelled out each other's candidate vote.

Although we have both party-voted for one of the big two parties right through MMP (and I suspect she voted Labour until the John Key era), today we both abandoned the big two and party-voted for the same third party. How strange.

...haven't put the tick near the red flag for many years...the blue bloods never got a look in, ever...this time it seems like Jaci Longtooth and her side get both ticks, even though it goes against the grain...anything to reduce the cabbage headed greens from getting more leeway to fondle their impractical notions...

On Wednesday mornings Hosking brekky show he announced the Prov Growth Fund donation to the 400 odd marae in NZ-I was a bit taken aback-On Friday Jacinda announced it at the Kawakawa bun fight.And they have the gall to call it not a political announcement.So why wait 3 days?-I really am over this crap.
