I suspect that The left will become "Whats Left" or "The Remnants" Party. the concept of Labour is out of date around the world.
I believe in those qualities shining through. I believe in confronting apathy, greed. I believe in change rather than passive "better the devil you know". I ask people to make a priority to put just a little time aside and focus on this country.To be brave and not be apathetic; you CAN make a difference, get out there and make your voice count for decency, honesty, the best human qualities not the worst. Don't get complacent just because our exports are in a good cycle; think of improving human conditions, caring compassion; removing some distress not compounding it .
I wish i could believe that; maybe he did earlier on in his political life but i truly believe he has been corrupted in his time in parliament ; john key was great role model there; as i said its human nature to lose sight of whats best for your country and whats best for Bill.
- The top personal tax rate was lowered from 39% to 38% and then 33%
- Increased the minimum wage from $12.00 per hour to $13.00 per hour in its first term, then $14.25 in its second term - worked for minimum wage in high school.
- Introduced the "mixed ownership model" plan, in which the Government reduce its share in GNE, MEL, MCY from 100% to 51% and AIR from 74% to 51%, and sell the remainder. MEL was a total gem!
Despite what you may believe, the rest of the world is envious of New Zealand's economical and social prospects moving forward, don't pretend that all of New Zealand's hardships are caused by this government, but fail to lay the same principle on this country's highly successful decade.
New Zealand will be among the fastest growing Aaa-rated economies in coming years. The government's robust fiscal position and prospects for it to strengthen provide ample room to pursue expansionary fiscal policy to buffer the economy against potential future shocks.
Robust population growth, strong Asian demand for New Zealand dairy, tourism and education and solid investment spending to support real GDP growth of around 3.0% in 2017 and 2018, broadly consistent with the government's projections. - Moody's
Worst thing National has done to us, the voters, since 2008 has been giving us an ever increasingly desperate Labour opposition that are yet to offer anything that the majority of New Zealanders want anything to do with... all they do is whinge and make noise, they are haemorrhaging supporters every other month because of it.
Yes National are responsible for 40,000 homeless; 24,000 in Auckland.Clear winners for sure.
Read John Keys interview with Aust media today. He tells exactly what happened to NZ housing. It makes a lot more sense than the mindless pronouncement by Little who seems to think anything he says will excite supporters as long as it has six noughts on the end. And ask the homeless why they insist on staying in Auckland when they might go elsewhere and get accommodation.
Clearly Dobby you haven't been listening/reading or you would have seen that adding in those willing to ally with National and all the rats and mice like the Conservatives you get to 50%. There's your answer.
And a further part of your answer is that NZF, 16% of the vote are willing to go into coalition with National and not with Greens.
Appealing to democracy simply confirms that Labour lose.
