National go full blown ACT Party Free Market madness
The internal polling is screaming that National is haemorrhaging votes, left, right and crazy.
200 000 45+ National voting women walked to Labour.
The religious nutters club have gone to Vision, One God Party and the New Conservatives.
The hard right gun fascists and Death Cult Capitalists have run to ACT.
To counter this, Crusher is getting softer to try and woo voters back from Labour, having chat with God…
…to win back votes from the religious fringes and are implementing far right free market policy like it’s raw meat at an Incel social gathering with no girls.
National want to privatise the border, take back the wage subsidy, dump climate change legislation, unaffordable tax cuts for the middle classes and now tax breaks for property investors???
Election 2020: National promises tax breaks for property investors; Labour calls it ‘reckless’
National leader Judith Collins is promising property investors a tax break by reducing the bright line test back to two years in an effort to make more Kiwis landlords.
If elected, National would also pass emergency legislation its first 100 days to force councils to release land for 30 years of urban development and sell state houses to their occupants.
Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern slammed the policy saying it would “take us back to the 1990s” and move New Zealand away from delivering housing to first home buyers and build state houses.
“To suggest that as an answer to the housing troubles that New Zealand experiences, to sell off state houses, I think is absolutely wrong,” Ardern said.
National are prepared to say and promise anything to the most selfish angels of our nature to win.
I just don’t think the solidarity that the universal experience of lockdown has provided will be seduced by such crass and obscene bribes.
Judith is desperate because she knows if she doesn’t win, National will dump her the next day. Watch for that desperation to come out tonight at the leaders debate.

Desperate and dangerous.
Whatever it takes to get hold of the Treasury benches – the people and the country can go fuck themselves.
Collins is doing everything she needs to do to woe back National voters (specifically from Labour)… and she doesn’t even need that many when you think about it. What’s scary is it might actually work. If the Greens don’t get above 5% (and don’t win an electorate, which they won’t imo) then despite Labour still being by far the biggest party, Labour might still lose because National/ACT form a majority. Could easily happen imo.
Yes it’s very possible that Labour will lose & if so they deserve to. Labour & the Green have no one to blame but themselves in continuing their naive & pathetic “holier than thou” stance on refusing to do an electorate deal with Chloe Swarbrick in Auckland Central. If they really cared enough about NZ’s future they’d play to the absolute letter & limit of the rules they’re given.
Yup can’t argue with that logic.
Woe is right! Haha!
Nah. St Jacinda’s deeds in recent months and her liaison with Ashley will win the day. And Jacinda is a damn side nicer than Judith. Judith can be charming (in an odd sort of way) when it suits her but when challenged by those she thinks are below her, look out! Jacinda’s just evasive at times. Labour will cozy up with the Greens. Oh… the policies. Well, that’s the bigger picture. The major parties may know what to do but not sure if any of them really know HOW, or have the political will once elected. But Labour / Greens? A different space to the one we’ve had for the past 3 years? Maybe for the better. Certianly better than Natz/Act. In my view.
But hell, who knows?
You know things are looking bad for them when even David Seymour suddenly recoils, and says, “No offence Judith, but… I don’t really want to be your Deputy PM after all…” Seymour Says No to Being Dep PM
Is that why Soimon has such a big smile on his dial nowadays in fact he is probably chuckling to himself, ‘they should have just given me a go’.
Is mutiny brewing in the Nat ranks already?
Nat MPs vs Collins
Ten days out from final voting… is not a really good look.
Nats and ACT each have an 8+++ billion dollar hole in their budgets:
Newsroom, ACTs 8 point 7 Billion Dollar Hole in Budget
Yes, that’s 2x 8 BILLION dollar blowouts.
That’s a lot of zeros.
But hey, you know they’re “responsible”, right?
You know the economy will somehow magically be better under them, right?
After all, to quote their great leader who did not know the current price of block of cheese, 8 Billion dollars is “Inconsequential”.
This beautiful snowflake is making up stuff on the hoof.
Everyone knows it, even her own MP’s are leaking now.
The Nats had one good week last week but the train wreck is back !!!
I generally support National and ACT but even I can see that “sell state houses to their occupants” is a trojan horse and a free kick to property developers.
Blimey, should I wear a full suit of armour to the debate tonight? It is true she is going after every vote she could possibly leverage. However, in pursuing some voters, she is surely going to alienate others
I think it is a good policy to sell state houses to those tenants occupying them.
It is far better to own a home than to rent one.
