Which iks basically what JT said. As long as they talk the talk, he will continue voting for them. Results matter much less to him. Same for many other naive voters, sadly.

Good point and well made, iceman.
Yup - like religion, not this life but promise of a better life in the ever after.
Have a look at this government - almost all career politicians with no idea whatsoever of creating real jobs, real businesses and generate real wealth.
They are all about taxing the hell out of the productive sector to transfer wealth to the unproductive sector, squandering the benefits of the economic gains made by National over the last decade.
Yes it is democracy and not really a bugger at all, just like it won't be when this useless lot will be tossed out in September with Winston never to be seen or heard again !
I like what one of the media commentator said - "Winston is like one of the old timers performing in Las Vegas. After a while, the same act is wearing thin and he got a taste of it in 2008 when he was booted out of Tauranga and Parliament. 2020 will see a repeat.'
Agreed - Labour under Cindy is like Labour under Helen. Behaving the same way - holding their breath from the stench which is Winston until they all get kicked out of power.
Winston was booted out of Tauranga by the electorate and after John Key said he would do no deal with the shyster.
- Fact checking the myth makers on here in just one area.
- We’ve rolled out free and healthy lunches in schools to 7,000 students, increasing to 21,000 students over the next year
- We’re boosting the incomes of 384,000 families by $75 a week on average through the Families Package
- We’ve extended free doctor visits to all children under 14
- We’ve lifted the minimum wage to $17.70 an hour (and raising this again to $18.90 an hour from April)
- We’re indexing main benefits to wage growth, so families don’t fall further behind
- We’re easing the pressure on parents by scrapping NCEA fees, and increasing funding so most parents don’t have to pay school donations
- We’ve set child poverty targets into law, to hold governments now and in the future to account
