As you said "vigorously misrepresenting things for political gain."

Anything does not go for this voter. Up until now I have maintained an open mind in terms of who might be worthy of my vote. National just lost their spot on my list for this dirty play. Would take an absolute miracle for me to consider them now. As I said in another post, at the rate things are going, Labour will get back in by default because the other parties are slowly digging themselves an election grave.

15% of $20 is only $3....
No need for you to get so worked up over a few hundred cents here and there...

National and ACT spend 99.9% of their time repeating their criticisms of Labour. Everything that comes out of their mouths is about Labour, not about their own policies or what they propose to do to "fix" anything. Labour is not much better in the policy department but at least they are not simply focused on dissing their competition.

At the rate things are going, we may very well find that Labour wins votes by sheer default - because none of them have shown why they deserve our vote. Either that, or it will be the worst voter turnout yet, as people will just throw their hands up and say "nobody to vote for, won't bother voting." I have always voted and that won't change, but if things don't improve soon, in terms of election campaigning/presentation of policy/solutions, voters are going to find themselves in a dilemma.

No doubt you have and will continue to play the political party merry go round for decades more to come...

Read what I wrote. It wasn't me who was upset.

Having said that, your comment shows your age. Those of us who are significantly older and more mature, understand that cents add up to dollars, and every dollar is significant. Which is why a weirdo like me is happy to earn $1 doing a 3 minute online survey, as that's an extra dollar I have to invest. I am sure you would snigger at that, because in your eyes, $1 isn't worth your time. I'd rather be me.

Oz media calls Ardern a fraud :

Pity as there was hope that they would take her when we kick her out of office.

He was right wasn't he.

National = nothing to show for nine years.
