We Kiwis have very short memories.

History tells us that political parties in New Zealand never change their policies similar to a leopard never changes its spots.

Not being one for economics etc, as I am more aligned on rights of citizens, I do take an interest in the cost of policies that various political parties have. Now I wont even start discussing labour policies cost or the harm they are doing to us but lets consider for a minute ACT and their judicial policies for a minute. Locking children up is seemingly going to fix the rising youth issue? Why are we not actually focusing on the core root of the problem? Currently corrections is spending around 12 billion dollars yearly and if these lunatics get elected their policies will double that over night with out a real helpful solution.

I also struggle to understand how a party who’s own MP resigned because he had stolen a babies identity to create a false passport, can every be credible because they actually knew David Garrett had done so when he was elected as an MP and kept it hush hush.

Also lets not forget their failed three strikes policy which cost this country hundreds of millions of dollars with little or no results as only 2 Judges ever used that law to its full capacity because that all said it was manifestly unjust.

Moral to my story is you can implement all the policies you want but when they are ineffective and cost millions what’s the point?

No Im not a labour supporter in case you are wondering, I’m not a supporter of much right now as i believe that this country currently has no political depth and we are way in the shit.

In reply to Scott.

Scott such true words.

Winston and NZ First are done.

How can any political party be credible when the country doesn’t even know their policies or the people who are standing to be elected for the party.

Jays is just an internet virgin who claims to not be. Just another “good enough for me, good enough for everyone else” bullshit argument, while ignoring the fact that they went to the right school and had the right contacts to “achieve”.

Sorry I think you are wrong .The maori language and culture is just as valid as the Welsh ,the Irish ,the aboriginal and all other groups who identify themselves as seperate from the prodominant race that run the country. I dislike the way some groups try to bend the rules to say any group, can break the rules because they are to be pitied. That attitude does not show respect. Calling government dept by Maori names then ignoring them is wrong.

In reply to Scott. Agree plus with Winston comes Shane Jones who is an even greater blot on the political landscape.

In reply to Stever. They're more about freedom for rich folk, otherwise you would have to do some pretty amazing mental gymnastics to explain "three strike laws".

Of course he would sit on the cross benches, a lame duck Nat government would only garner more support for ACT.

Lange should have read The Prince before he became one. Or simply like Holyoake had every member of his cabinet sign a blank resignation letter to get their position.

ACT can be shot down by continually drawing attention to them being American Gun Nut Zealots. Kiwis are happy to have gun regulation, anything to deter or control, gun-toting terrorists, gunslinging gangsters, deer hunters killing their love rival mates, shootout cops killing bystanders, the mentally unwell taking out their families and the horrific potential of kids that Don’t Like Monday. The majority will vote against gun nuts.

A vote for ACT is a vote to make it easy for terrorists to get guns.
A vote for ACT is a vote to make it easy for criminals to get guns.
A vote for ACT is a vote to make it easy for gangs to get guns.
A vote for ACT is a vote to make it easy for the mentally unwell to get guns.
A vote for ACT is a vote to make it easy for school kids to get guns.
A vote for ACT is a vote for gun massacres.
The left and centre need to say this on continual repeat.
