Totally agree but then they would ask what evidence does he have.
I cannot think of a Saturday I am so looking forward to in my life. Not because of the result, but because it will hopefully stop all the MSM crap we have to endure every day.

Interest duductibility is daft. Was not supported by treasury, was not supported by IRD, is not supported by any accountant, is not used in any country overseas, is not applicable to any other business…
Labour did the stupid move introducing it, not National taking it to how it should be.
But he can’t revert back to standard practice because he owns houses…. Right…
Play the policy not the man.

Still weeks to go before Winston announces the coalition of chaos... with the NZ Labour Party! We might get our own Jan 6 insurrection if he does that again.
Agreed. For me I can't stand the grandstanding from JMM and Beenadick.
I've got to the stage where it doesn't really matter, I just want it over and we can maybe (but doubtful) move on to issues as attached.

Sorry for the length but there's only so much you can do over 6 years in charge.

One thing I am sure of is that in a few years time we will still be moaning about the state of affairs in NZ.I've got to the stage where it doesn't really matter, I just want it over and we can maybe (but doubtful) move on to issues as attached.

The system is broken and no particular party will make it any better.

Disagree.
We will be better under National than this version of Labour who operate from fairy land.
Not perfect but 100% better than the failure of Labour.
The cupboard is bare JN and other than one or two on all sides the lack of talent and tbh intelligence in the current crop of wannabees is alarming.

I could actually see it happening.
And I do believe the country would be torn apart if it did with a massive loss of confidence in democracy and people taking issues into their own hands.
If Labour get in again it will be on the back of a deliberate misinformation campaign that has lacked integrity. If they get in democracy has failed and the result will be illegitimate. You can’t campaign on lies and misinformation in a democracy..
It will be like a lightning rod to the crazies to revolt.
Cue juju getting all upset and defensive
Sound economics by a party that can't get consensus on their tax policy ANY economist or any minor party to say its credible.
The changes will have a very real & tangible impact on beneficiaries

They have also campaigned on stricter sanctions on beneficiaries despite unemployment being lower than under most of the National reign.
All the while wanting to make it easier for landlords with interest deductibility and no cause evictions (check on Bishops conduct on that)
No misinformation - just nasty & out of touch policy... probably why despite having $8m of funding and Labour still being underwhelming they're still struggling in the polls.
If someone is in fact, a bludger and milking the system, then they are fair game
Nothing wrong with trying to weed out the bludgers from the people that actually need and deserve assistance

Making it a feature of a party's campaigning is really sad - considering how badly the country needs aspirational policy.
Tell me that in 2 years time.
You always find something to criticise.
Unless of course your bias is charitable
As much as National/Act/ NZ First are a bunch of Looney Tunes, I can't recall the Red team ever campaigning on any of their successes. No wonder they are struggling.
Seems to have been a totally negative campaign all round

I was very critical of National under Collins.
I call it as I see it. I won’t be voting for National but I hope they get in as Labour has moved way to far from the centre.
Interesting voting strategy
The argument is he would benefit financially because he would be able to claim personally the interest deductibility….. which is impossible because none of his properties have mortgages on them.

Nats are neck and neck with Other in the poll here. Who's that again, TOP and the Prophet Tamaki?
I get where you are coming from. It isn't uncommon in an MMP system for people to vote for a potential coalition partner.Interesting voting strategy
My guess would be he voted for ACT either to as he prefers their policies or wanted to be strategic. For the local MP it could just be he didn't like the National candidate. You have said yourself the local National MP isn't the best individual. From what I've seen myself when he's been in the news I wouldn't vote for him.
We have been in an MMP system for over 20 years now. A lot of people probably haven't moved to strategic voting, instead sticking to the two main parties. I wouldn't be surprised if younger voters go for the minor parties more due to 1-2 appealing policies.
