| 381202 | 2005-08-15 23:03:00 | Hmmm... I will vote for the greens with the party vote and unfortunatly its all tied up in my electorate so it doesn't matter with the member vote. I don't like the greens pot policies, but their "green" image is great. I voted for them 2 elections ago when they said they would stop logging on the west coast. They did. Thier hearts are in the right place even if some of the ideas are a little off the wall. I noticed that soon after they released their pot policy, back in June/july, their polling dropped, its an off putter, maybe thats why Nandor is now down the list and I gather won't get back in. Otherwise options for parties are thin on the ground. The greens will keep labour honest, so I am sort of giving a proxy vote to the labor party. |

| 381203 | 2005-08-15 23:27:00 | Labour - the alternative scares me after the slash & burn Mother Of All Budgets. Me too. It seems a bit ironic but I find National too radical. They get some 'brilliant' idea from somewhere like some US think-tank and leap into it with reckless abandon. "Let's sell erverything and everyone will prosper." "Let's cut welfare and there be more people working". "Let's deregulate and let the market figure it out". I don't think they live in the real world. National is white, male and wealthy like its current boss. Like I said earlier I doubt Don Brash actually knows any of us "ordinary working New Zealanders" he claims to represent. :D |

Of course it helps that jeanette Fitzsimmons, who campaigned to get the hydro stopped in Otago and is against a number of forms of power generation owns an enormous number of shares in the wind farm company - the power generation she is currently promoting. Naturally its all because its so green and nothing to do with any profits she might make. :D |

She was also the one who started off all the health reforms when she was holding hands with Roger Douglas and co. She married for political reasons. These things show she will do anything at all to get what she wants. She deffinately won't get my vote. |
