1172460 2011-01-25 22:17:00 I'd say its retarded to suggest that the fix for the problem is more of the same crap policies that caused the problem in the first place.

Labour merely redistributed the countries wealth rather then growing it, resulting in lower living standards for everyone rather then raising living standards.

Shameful.

But that's what lefties are all about - you shouldn't be surprised. They're just not very good at maths....

And where are the jobs that Key promised with the job summit and all. All very well asking people to work but where are the jobs and don't tell me the cycle way has produced very many.

1172462 2011-01-25 22:45:00 Key has done jack s^&t for jobs. At the end of the day the only winners are politicians we are just the fools who believe their lies and spin.

Oh and he's going to sell some SOE's too story here (www.stuff.co.nz)

1172463 2011-01-25 22:51:00 You know what I'd love to see? A table.

Column one can have the party promises, column two can be a tick / cross.
Have at the top, the promises the Labour party made, and kept
Then beneath it do likewise for National in the past few years

Then, for the hell of it, have another chart and call it "Dumb stupid policies that got in which shouldn't have been implemented" and do likewise.

Would certainly be interesting to see, I've honestly got no idea which way it'd swing. Does anybody have some spare time on their hands? :D

1172464 2011-01-25 22:52:00 And the Nats want to fudge the figures when it comes to inflation by not including the rise in GST they introduced!

BTW I did not vote Nat or Labour in the last election and I won't vote for either in the next for that matter.

So no complaints from you then!

I think you just volunteered ;)

1172466 2011-01-25 23:15:00 As they should - inflation measures the purchasing power of a currency; the GST rate has nothing to do with it, and there's no reason to include it in inflation calculations.

It's not fudging the figures, it's how inflation should actually be calculated.

No. it should be included. No surprise it has jumped because most put prices up beyond the GST hike. Blatantly obvious

1172467 2011-01-25 23:16:00 I feel betrayed by Key so far with all this Maori pandering he promised to do away with.


Agreed, they should hold a snap election now and lead on their own.

1172468 2011-01-25 23:28:00 Unfortunately I can see dictator Key getting back in because the alternative is too weak unless of course Winston makes a comeback

Yes we need a party like New Zealand First to keep the two major parties in line.

New Zealand First?? I always thought that the Party was "Winston First"
The party was set up to pander to his ego I think.
An entertaining and harmless fellow, extremley politically savvy and great at following the current popularist movement.
Wasn't he the Minister of Winstons Development ;)
