It’s not like National aren’t going to engage in their own kind of social engineering. Regardless of what you want to call it, that’s simply what governments do.

While everyone thinks they’re waving goodbye to the Nanny State, they’re actually waving hello to the Big Daddy State.

What a load of rubbish.

Auntie Helen has been engaged in so much social engineering that it isnt funny.

And Cullen’s “stockpiling” of my cash is just robbery. I can do far better work with it than she ever could.

Labour want us all equally poor. National will let those who are prepared to work hard get ahead.

Bring it on.

Good bye Helen!

And I do wish Phil Goff well. I have always thought he was in the wrong party.

I didn’t read many blogs over the election period but from people I talked to, I gathered that most New Zealander’s didn’t notice any difference between the two major parties.

It’s both our and Labour’s (and the rest although I wonder how many actually KNEW what made them different) fault for forgetting.

Maybe if someone had forgotten the petty rubbish they squabbled over t=for the past few months and gave us their vision of New Zealand and HOW it is different, people would have got it.

Obama’s campaign understood not to nit pick and get caught up in silly politics. Our politicians seemed to forget the big picture.

I agree, it’s a shame. The NZ you see is much the same as the one I’m afraid we will lose now.

But I suppose it’s just fingers crossed!
