Yes, who would have guessed that? Mind you, the pro-National bets on ipredict did start disappearing below the 50% mark fairly quickly. They were just bluffing it out, even then. I'm going to repost what I wrote earlier, the by-election has closed.
So the day is here at last, when we see that National is likely to be ousted in 2017, rather than go on to hold power for four terms. A win for "Not National" in Northland will really boost the confidence of the other parties, in the belief that the normal "three-terms in, three terms out" cycle will prevail. Based on the data left behind so far, theLabour Coalition has a very proud legacy from their nine years in office, National not so good, from over six years.
Yes, National had the GFC and the Earthquakes to contend with, but where is the detailed policy that has been worked on since, to ensure NZ moves up the OECD rankings, not down? Why is it so hard to balance the govt budget, long after the GFC? Why are our exports mostly commodity-based still? Where would we be if we couldn't borrow heavily from offshore to shore up our overspending ways, on assets that are usually not truly productive?
Any time I see an expensive new car on the road, a house being purchased as a rental, a farm being idly used as a safe deposit and capital gain vehicle, I think of the smart businesses that didn't get started and sustained with that capital. Businesses that employ people, pay taxes along the way, export niche value-added goods offshore. If the government of the day doesn't actively promote those ideas, they have to go.
