To all those people who voted National.

If you want to wreck an economy, elect a Labour government.

Every time, here or in the UK...and it looks like Obama wants to turn the Dems into a Labour party too...

And in the bigger picture, National are more popular then ever and are prepared to upset a shitload of people to do what they think has to be done.They have a buffer.

Ah dude..... the green party were not in government last time around. They were in opposition after Helen gave them the shaft.

That's absolutely true.

So, of course, I'll just find another couple of issues to justify changing my vote next time. 'Cause it will be changing...

Mate that is the biggest deluded bullshit I've ever heard in this side of the 21st century.

Cheers for the laugh.

Emission Trading Scheme (pay for your fart and air you breath)
Child Discipline Act (biggest bullshit ever)
Shower restriction (well, almost)
Home Insulation Fund (at least they have one thing right)
New Zealand Cycleway (still fail)
Resource Management Act (development nightmare)

I also voted for shonkey and I still think he could be better than the aforementioned hairy lesbo social engineer however I have no time for English and neither did his party when he made his play for top dog. He has proven himself dishonest and twofaced. Nixmyth is a lier and speaks the most unbelievable drivel. he's also fucking ugly which I know shouldn't be a decider but it ain't a plus.

For me it isn't a single issue at all. I find myself becoming more and more disgusted with how National are handling all the issues. I am seriously wondering who best to vote for next time.

I ain't a socialist either. I believe in personal freedom and accountability. We make our own way in the world. I expect my Government to listen to me and make rational informed and honest choices when implementing policy. I can accept that I must make a contribution to the overall wellbeing of society and for this contribution I get some rights.

I can't accept being lied to, being targeted and penalised when I am not at fault and being ignored.

Rant over.

It's just possible that a number of former Labour Cabinet Minsters did exactly that?

I'm laughing extra hard now..... still nothing to do with labour like you insinuated earlier.
That link you just posted essentially turns up as greens saying well done to the NATIONAL leader.

Green Achivements 2009

Another area of common ground is the New Zealand Cycleway where Kevin Hague has added his expertise to the Prime Minister's tourism project.

2009 so like well after the National party was elected.........
