| 1243493 | 2011-11-15 06:04:00 | It can be seen as making a deal before the elections which to me means a bypassing of the voters wishes.Interesting. I actually see it differently - I see this as making their intentions clear to voters, so that you know exactly what you are choosing - i.e. you know in advance that National and Act are likely to attempt to work together, and you can use that information to help decide who you will vote for. If you don't like that they want to work together, you're perfectly free to vote for somebody else - and if enough people feel the same way, then both parties will lose votes. If they lose enough votes, then they won't be able to work together in government - either because Act doesn't get any seats, or because there aren't enough MPs to form a viable right-wing coalition. Consider the alternative - if they didn't indicate this preference, and you voted for one or both of them, then you might feel duped if they get enough votes and work together to govern. Wouldn't you prefer to know in advance what they would like to do, so you can vote with all the facts available to you? If they want to they could amalgamate the two parties before the elections and then there would be no deception.Are we looking at the same event? I'm not sure what deception you're referring to, could you clarify which part of this process you see as deceptive? Note that Act and National don't want the same thing, although they share similar ideals. They are capable of working together, but they have their own independent agendas. |

If it was known before the election, I would have it a guess national supporters might not have voted for national. At least Winston Peters has said before the election he won't work with any party. |
