Glen stop your whining.

You have made me look beyond the social Darwinism of the ponytail pulling ad 'Glenn Jameson', I can now see what the five legged race was meant to mean. It is an analogy for how minor parties are knobbled by coalition with a larger one as has been clearly illustrated by the right wing becoming Nigel no mates; fair warning there. As for the fit and healthy leaving the lame behind, as they say in blighty, jog on.

Hard News: The Day After Tomorrow, in reply to Tom Semmens,
I felt profoundly sad for my country
when the tax cut is negated by a rise in gst and the property market deflates we can rejoyce?
Progressive taxation not regressive and a regulated housing market please to truly protect our investments from the ravages of Neo liberal government.

Not so much, it feels like buying a lotto ticket and dreaming about all of the good things possible, but after Saturday night you will probably have to live with the same old bullshit.

National campaigned on income 'tax cuts' in 2008 and then, when elected offset that with a rise in GST, getting everybody to pay for the wealthiest earners gains.
Jacinda Adern's main stated goal, if elected, is to get rid of child poverty in NZ and it's shameful that a NZ politician has to campaign on this issue. Will tax go up to achieve this goal? Well yes probably, is this a bad thing? Only if you have no soul or conscience.
Every nappy, pair of shoes, loaf of bread pays for the wealthiest tax cuts. Fuck that.

Hard News: Drugs and human rights, in reply to Paul Campbell,
I'm reckoning that Bill English has thought through this statement and is hoping to turn the election discourse away from housing poverty jobs and the environment to one about the constitution and law n order. Safer ground for the Nats and their constituents.
