Hammerer: As an uncommitted and undecided voter, I am looking for some cogent analysis of what's happening just before the election. There's not a lot. It's like the election day ban on political advertising has started a day early and not much is happening. Maybe the journalists and commentators are saving it up for the post-election analysis.

This morning the only thread on politics in the geekzone "recent" list is this one. I thought there would more happening than just this thread which is probably the nadir for recent discussions. It has got to 26 pages without much of any import that relates directly to the "Moment of Truth" and NZ - although some of the links to overseas events are very interesting.

I've read the links posted by the OP. It's all very underwhelming and hardly justifies the tags others have used (such as #dirtyPM or #dirtypolitics) and the obvious scaremongering in some of those linked webpages.

I am very unlikely to ever vote for John Key but It seems to me that he's come out of this looking better than he went into it.
