| 1174557 | 2011-02-02 07:45:00 | You do understand the developed world is still coming out if a MAJOR recession?. NZ has done relatively well compared to most other OECD nations in the last 3 years. Neither party could have avoided it, but I prefer to have the more business orientated party in under the circumstances. No doubt this next election the small parties will make huge demands worth billions NZ cant afford under MMP, holding the larger parties that won far more support to ransom. The sooner NZ gets rid of worthless MMP, the sooner we will start to move ahead. ABSOLUTELY!!! x2 |

| 1174558 | 2011-02-02 08:02:00 | Right. I see that parties are posturing already. Promising things that they shouldn't. Apparently, National is borrowing NZ$250m a week, is this correct? If so, will Labour do the same, I wonder. Are we about to be gulled yet again? I am sorry to say that I have no faith in politicions of any party. PJ :angry:waughh: Whoever comes into power, will continue to borrow. What are this bunch of politicians good for? All parties, National or Labour, they are all the same - a bunch of useless, greedy people - they are even worst than those beneficiaries! |

| 1174559 | 2011-02-02 08:42:00 | The reason we're borrowing $250 million a week is largely because of the state that the previous Labour Government left us in. If Goff had his way, we'd be borrowing 1.5x that in the next 4 years ... | Chilling_Silence (9) | ||
| 1174560 | 2011-02-02 09:00:00 | This will be the longest campain in ...... seems like forever. 10 months of verbal diahrea from all concerned. | wotz (335) | ||

We will be lucky to ever balance the books because too much money is being sent over seas in the form of interest and dividends etc. |

| 1174562 | 2011-02-02 09:11:00 | I think you might be right wotz. mikebartnz, while I partly agree with that, and the fact that Goff has been in politics for around 25+ years now, I must say that I like the prospects of this countries finances being handled by somebody with significant experience in that area, regardless of what it specifically was for, as opposed to somebody who's simply dabbled in a little of every vocation in politics, while mastering none. That and silly little things like making fruit & veggies exempt from GST may sound like a noble idea, but looking at the cold hard facts & figures means that with the nation in its current state, it's simply not viable and would only drive the country further into more debt and prolong the general hardships most New Zealanders face. |

When Goff first became leader of the LP I thought he might have been all right for a Labour man but he has proved himself to be totally useless. |
