| 1174586 | 2011-02-02 21:40:00 | I hate it when an election is coming up and there is a lot of electioneering going on. I would prefer it if John Key said that the election is going to be the Saturday after next. There would be a short sharp campaign and it would be over in days not weeks or months. I hardly ever listen to their speeches but prefer to judge them on past performance. My TV viewing is interupted because these job applicants (political hopefuls) want to tell me about what a wonderful job they will do if elected instead of letting me watch my favourite TV programme. I am always glad when an election is finally over. |

| 1174588 | 2011-02-02 23:05:00 | I reckon Key has been quite canny. People now have a choice National or a commie/NZ First combo government. Commie Fil Gof must be spewing at the moment. | prefect (6291) | ||

| 1174593 | 2011-02-03 00:48:00 | Some political thoughts: I don't know who will win the next election, But I do know who will be the loser. The people of New Zealand. It is an undeniable fact that if a government passes legislation that is bad for business then it is usually bad for the country, and bad for the economy and bad for employment. The reverse does not necessarily apply. Labour has a consistent track record of legislating against business. An election promise is a unique type of bride, in that the Briber is bribing the bribee with the bribee's money. From my military days, and in officers guidelines for interacting and providing information to politicians. " To have access to classified information a member of the armed services is required to be subject to a Positive Vetting (PV) security clearance. Politicians refuse to be subject to any form of security vetting, so they should not be given any information graded above restricted." (It says it all about polticians - all too many would not pass a PV security clearance) The only topics that receive unanimous support in the house without any debate are increases to members public salaries, allowances and expenses. The only man who ever entered parliament with honest intent was Guy Fawkes, and what he had in common with most MPs was "He f*cked up. |
