elzorro got any more good news Labour stories & bad news National stories from the last 14 years or so? Just wondering, because the more you talk up Labour and put down National the more you need to explain the
Current account balance. You see this is the only graph you should be referring to as it tells the end story, not snip bits of this and that.
Here’s your problem - the more you praise Labour the worse they must of done to push down the % of GDP more into negative for any given year. On the other hand the more you downgrade National the better they must of done to bring back that GDP% towards zero.
So it’s real easy, the current account balance is the final data for all financial goings on for that party in power for that particular year. Forget about the rest, they are small parts of the story, the end data is the current account balance and that tells the full story. Not so good for Labour one must say.

That's why Labours colour is red, because they are always in it. Maybe this chart shows why they are always negative, because they take negative to new lows.
