   At least the guy on the right has some similarities to John Key.

   John Key has announced the adoption of yet another flagship Labour policy having a female leader. In a one-page policy briefing released today he stated that under a National government he would undergo gender realignment to have what it takes to lead the Country.

   At least the leader on the left has some policies of their own.

   Why vote for Labour Lite when you can have the real thing?

   Because we’ve had the ‘real thing’ for the last 9 years, and New Zealand hates it.

   “Why vote for Labour Lite when you can have the real thing?”

   The same reason anyone buys the “lite” option in a supermarket – the original is full of fat that we want to trim.

   New Zealand hates it.

   Uh huh. They hate it so much that your man JK wants to keep everything just the same.

   The piece linked by Stephen is great btw!

   I think it’s more the perception of corruption, arrogance, raising taxes through bracket creep, big bureaucracy etc that’ll work for National than many of the big policies that Labour has gotten through (with the possible exception of Section 50-something, although I do wonder if that is fading away a bit, but I doubt it).

   Winston Peters voted against the Section 59 bill. John Key voted for it.

   Of course Key was right and Peters was wrong, but wouldn’t it be funny to see Peters campaigning against National on the issue?

   PS great billboard

    Phil. moronic. National has not identified any signifcant waste it would trim, it has pledged to maintain nearly all present government spending and increase the big tickets like Super, Health, Benefits on the inflaiton paths that labour has set.

    I know you want to believe that National is going to trim down the Government (what exactly you want trimmed I’m willing to bet you don’t know yourself) but National is not going to do that, wishing they would will not make it so.

    NZP: It is very cool, quite accurate, and must be painful for people like Phil to look at.

    No Lynn, I am an equal opportunity offender when it comes to making fun of politicians and the innane things that come from their mouths and brains.

    I was hoping that someone would pick up on the tangential humour (Steve didn’t) comparing gov’t waste trimming to most peoples equally futile attems at their own weight loss, but when you have to expailn a joke…

    Generally I am as well. But trying to maintain even a semblance of civility around here tends to reduce the humour levels a bit.

    Of course in my BOFH role I am both uncivil and wield a BIG stick. Argghhhhhh I’m starting to sound like Sir Rob(ert).

    freaky to even think of it – the UN perhaps.
