What if he was talking about a vegie owning other vegies?

Meh, we'd be screwed regardless who 'won' the election.

Unless it was Bubbles the Chimp....

I was hoping for 60% or greater, Don Brash and at least another 2 Act MPs and no Mana or NZ First or Greens. We need to start mining of more minerals and dredging ironsand from the sea for export dollars and jobs. How does it work when people want no mining which in turn means less income and tax, but at the same time they want cradle to the grave welfare? We should have our diggers in the sand, not our heads.

All nice and well to preserve our country, there's gotta be some middle ground between conservation and utilising our mineral resources?

Oh, and if you didn't vote or wasted your vote, don't come crying on here.....

And what's with NZ First getting such a following? Surely Kiwis memories aren't that short??

Reminds me of the immortal words of that notorious cocksucker Michael Cullen... “We won, they lost, let’s do lunch”.

Three more years leftards... three more years.

Ohhh Feck. I am embarrassed. Excuse me while I go and flagellate myself in the corner.

thank you, welcome to democracy, just becasue you don't agree, does not make it wrong

Choices, National, sell off minority share in assetts, and keep most other stuff the same, work with small coalition partners, not much will change, not the best option i agree,

other the option,

Labour, led by Goff, taxs cuts for the ones that already pay the least, rises for the ones that pay the most, the free GST on fruit would cost a heap to set up and enforce, and these things are price pointed so no massive cuts would be made

propped up by Mana bunch's of Looneys who have never made this country anything, only worked to tear it apart,
the Greens who have come back to the centre (and have polled well because of it)
and NZ First (shakes head and walks away), spend more, borrow more,
oh, but make the hard decision to put super up in 2030????? and have 6 more election cycle bribes to last for it)

yes, it was a hell of a decision wasn't it, i chose National as the less of two evils, no one really stood for what I wanted,

everyone says we want to be more like australia, the reason australia is going ahead is because of mining, they talk about their 2 tier economy because everything else is struggling, i get that we do not want to mine in national parks, but you can not have it both ways, we need to sell more and export more to go forward, and although the greens had a good idea about exports, it was a very long term outlook that would have some risk of not coming off, no other party really came up with everything

Only if the illiterate want to be taken seriously. If they don't understand the subtleties of grammar, what other fundamental knowledge could they be lacking? The BDOTGNZA also worries about Parkinson's sufferers being allowed near full stop keys.
