God help us! Labour apparently ahead in a recent poll. 4 Weeks ago they were struggling for 20% but with a new Leader (I'm gonna call it and say almost all the rebound is soley this) and little to no concrete policy except "we will look into doing some stuff and it's going to be paid for by taxing the hell out of everything", they are ahead.
I thought we were better than Americans but I am beginning to wonder. Maybe this is what we deserve!
It's the same Labour party as the last 9 years who couldn't work a policy to save their lives but apparently, everyone believes they can now with 4 weeks under their belt, run the country.
Labour could end up in charge without committing to very much at all, they could pretty much do whatever they want and everyone is cheering them on!
Nightmare.
LOL! Its not that bad. Central left is Labour and Greens, the Greens have succumbed to Roundup thats all.
Yes, clearly the new leader card, but they are releasing a lot of nice policies, as are National. I dont recall they are all being paid by tax increases, quite the opposite. And remember they only saw the books the other day, while the Nats knew the books and could plan ahead, including the downturn in surpluses that have come to light.
No, it seems a fresher younger party. Lets talk stats. If we see the country being run by MP's its a big stretch to imply that luckily all the good ones are in National, wow, that is real lucky! :-)
Ok, just checked Stuff, wow they are up past National. The other issue is 3 terms is the time for a change to kick in.
Both parties policies are heavy to the people, as they both seem to think up new policies and promises every day, but both are targeting good things. Id even wager that whoever gets in, they will borrow some of the others ideas in subtle ways.
Off to watch the debate, back later!
