Two comments from letters to the editor re elections that I agree with.
We do not need to delay the election; the electorate are better off not hearing electioneering nonsense. We will make our decision based on past performance and credibility. Anyone who has experienced more than one electoral cycle will know that political promises before elections are not to be trusted: Show me the five new bridges in Northland. We should slow-clap the remnants as they leave the field.
Rob Muldoon once said after calling a snap election "It doesn't give my opponents much time either".
