TOP Party one to watch in this election

[justakiwi]

You could say the same for any of the minor parties. NZF, The Greens .... none of them are ever going to be in a position to actually implement their policies. Best they could hope for is to get one or two through as part of a coalition government, but you can bet your bottom dollar they will never get anything major through.

Besides which, the only purpose of discussing it, is because policy is what voters look to when making their voting decisions. There are slim pickings this time round. People are looking at parties they wouldn't have even bothered looking at in the past, just to see if "maybe" their policies have merit, and warrant a vote.

TOP's do not.

What's the point of discussing all the things TOP will be implementing - when they don't have a hope in hell of getting any of it done?!
Even Winston knows to settle for himself as Minister of Foreign Affairs + a regional slush fund, he knows he can't start remaking tax laws.
'Phase 2 of their plan'....rofl, wake me up when they are over the 5% threshold....clear that and they may just get an associate minister position for Raf Manji if by some miracle they find themselves within cooee of being 'kingmaker'.
