| 381361 | 2005-09-01 08:40:00 | There is little of any real difference between Labour or National. There never has been and I have been watching them for more years than I like to think of. I think there is a great danger in letting either of them stay in charge for more than a couple of terms. They start to think they know all and can do no wrong and then push through their pet projects with litttle regard to all us poor sods who have to pay for it. | CliveM (6007) | ||

We've seen it before under Muldoon and now with Clark. They don't even know it is happening. |

Where do you get all that stuff about national going to cut hospital/education services? Labours hospital and educational services of late have not been very good at all. Do you know how many schools they closed last year? Do you know how many people are on hospital waiting lists? |

I can tell you Chris that education under Labour's administration has been a debacle . We had parents and schools fighting one another in Invercargill because of Trevor Mallards determination to close schools . He said various things at public meetings - and then later reinterpreted those utterances to suit the department agenda . I have young children and my wife is a very active Chairperson of our local primary school . The political face of education is markedly different to the reality . High expectations like mainstreaming, but a miniscule amount of money . Same with health . Lots of gungho political talk from Wellington but the local health boards are left to handle the reality of few doctors or resources . Just like Boards of Trustees . The local volunteers take the blame for Government policies . National can share some of the blame too but overall the colossal arrogance of Labour disqualifies them from winning IMHO . :2cents: |

| 381368 | 2005-09-05 10:36:00 | What on earth happens to make people get so het up and have th right to argue there way or no way? :yuck: i do like peter's idea I would have thought that any Government in power that long would have a laundry list of achievments to crow about; basing their campaign on "Let us continue the good work", not talking about what they're going to do . Kinda begs the question "why haven't you already done that?' this says it all doesnt it? sigh, no further ahead with how or what to vote for, i struggle to hold mylife together without trying to fix the rest of the NZ voters / governments lives as well . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . somebody will win, and it probably is not going to be a happy time for anyone involved . and the rest will just follow like little lambs to the slaughter . :rolleyes: beetle |

| 381370 | 2005-09-05 21:35:00 | National would have been even more likely to close the schools with Brash at the wheel. The schools were costing them too much money, and the steadily decreasing school age population gave them the perfect excuse to get rid of a few liabilities. You can bet on it that National wouldn't have backed down in the slightest, whereas Labour let us keep 2 schools that they wanted to be rid of - Ruru school & Rosedale. | Greven (91) | ||
