You can also make millions by going against Trump if you are so convinced... you can back anyone but Trump to be next president at about $1.90.

    All that has to be done is to compare the two parties. If the opposition are not any better then there's no point being that enthused about them. they can't change the fundamental aspects of this situation.

    Agree, a week is a long time in politics. That is why I took some of the 8's on offer.

    Labour could dig us a fairly large hole given the purse strings for another 3 years.

    Cool, so what are the policies to address it? They want to increase the deficit even more so far. Again, picking between two imperfect alternatives.

    That is a highly unusual display of wisdom from you.

    Exactly - quality of spending is so critical in the next 3 years - where, how and who to spend the billions of dollars of budget deficits on.

    We know Labour will continue to squander the opportunities to spend wisely and effectively so let's see what plans Todd & National come up with in the next 4 months.

    One thing for sure - Todd will get a decent hearing while as the public had given up on Simon.

    Jury is still out.

    There is a possibility the state of the nation may not quite be up to neck in dodo in 4 months but my guess is we'll be in enough strife by then for most punters to get the picture.

    Muller was quite interesting on the Nation yesterday. Repeated this morning on Channel 3 and 3+1.
