Bill's lost the plot I reckon
What do you expect? Dunedin is full of dour Scottish pessimism and have elected such wonders as Brian McDonnell who remained anonymous in parliament for two decades; the minister of speeches, Bill Fraser. The useless David Benson Pope who even his own party disowned. Pete do nothing Hodgson. They would vote for a cabbage, if it was a red one.
In the days of first past the post it was awful having to vote for candidates who were completely useless to give a tick to your preferred party. As a swinging voter in Dunedin it was fine when I favoured Labour's policies - but in the times when I preferred National's it was a strange feeling that my vote would not count for a thing.
Liam Dann thinks the election will be close. There was always mood for change in the electorate, it had been hidden.

I wonder how many people nationwide were galvanised into offering up their fences for Labour signs in the wake of Gareth Morgan's "lipstick on a pig" jibe? We got a few.

Duncan Garner doesn't look too hard at Stats NZ data from the years before 2008, but he's on the money with National's record.

James Shaw got it completely wrong with his response to Turei's fraud. The Greens suffered severely. Now we have Winston admitting he was overpaid superannuation for many years. Watching him on both TV channels this morning doing his normal fight with the journalists and not answering anything they ask is silly. Why can't he just come out and clear the matter fully, including what amount he paid back ? I give him the benefit of the doubt that it was a simple mistake but why not just clarify it and get it from the headlines once and for all? Or is there something more sinister there ?
Suzy on RNZ asked Winnie whether he was being paid the single persons benefit when in a de facto relationship - no answer (apparently this all came to light when his partner recently applied for her pension)
And Winnie kept bringing up the IRD involvement .......weird that is ...hmmm
Winnie must go - another week another casualty
Some will say Nat will benefit if Winnie goes or NZF get less than 5% .......conspiracy theorists having a field day
Even more confusing than Winie made out on the radio

The electorate will make their own minds up
