National -- Electorate Vote

Act ---- Party Vote

Not that i necessarily want national in, but since Brash took over National, Labour has actually grown testicles and made some good decisions, and as for ACT I ould rather they held the balance of Power than Peters

If Labour wins again, Brash is still in charge of National so I don't see your logic there.

381184 2005-08-15 08:44:00 Communications for me too.
Funny how low down on the list of govt priorities it is though.
I get the impression that the majority of politicians are IT illiterate.
United Future have said they will go for unbundling (whereas most of the other parties have been pretty silent and Douglas Webb is twiddling his thumbs too much) but I don't know anything else about them yet!

381187 2005-08-15 09:46:00 Labour. That dork Don Brash is a pointy head who's never had a proper job in his life and he claims to represent the "ordinary working New Zealander". I bet he doesn't even know any.

(And he wouldn't want to either.)

381189 2005-08-15 10:14:00 Midst all the hype of talk about tax reductions, all parties, but in particular National and Act have conveniently forgotten yet once again that in 1990 Ruth Richardson clobbered recipients of Government Superannuation Fund pension with a double whammy.

The first was to reduce the agreed payout to which subscribers had signed up to, ie, she unilaterally tore up the pension agreement.

The second was to make the pension 'tax-free', so called, by deducting tax at source, at the then current rate, and we are still paying at that rate, even though tax rates since then have progressively reduced.


So, I will vote for whoever pledges to restore the pension to that which I signed up for and payed for.

Secondly I will vote for whoever pledges to reduce or abolish the iniquitous tax called GST, that would be a real tax reduction that would mean a lot to many.

Thirdly I may vote for whom by election day prove themselves to be the least dishonest :thumbs:

381190 2005-08-15 10:17:00 The future PM of NZ, Phil Goff (you heard it here first), will get my vote. Why? Because he's a good man. I'm not so sure about the party vote yet...
