a canny Key will play Act off against te Maori to reduce the short-term position of either (so Douglas can wave goodbye to a cabinet post, thank christ) - and shore up broader support for the next election.
that's my guess. they have many many mps, and don't *need* act so much as want them. act will be treated the way the greens/progressives have been treated by labour. guaranteed allies who can be sometimes ignored.
again, this is guesswork

i'm calling nats screwing ACT down to confidence and supply only. minimal/no cabinet posts.
they've got numbers at the minute

i say that, and i'm a watermelon.

@deep yup, pretty much shortly after it opened.
scrutineers galore.
seriously. i wanted to ask the poor dears if they've been sold a trowel with all that crap...

voted at the michael fowler centre too.
i was *amazed* at the amount of make-up on several young ladies wearing blue rosettes.

Che, an occasion where I couldn't decide which side I wanted to kick hardest
neither. that would be lowering oneself to the occasion.
re: grant r. he was standing outside my place of work the other day handing out pamphlets. i greeted him and he handed me the paperwork.
looking at it i said, "dude! i voting for you anyhow!" he goes, "well, you won't be needing that then!" and grabbed the papers of me.

Act certainly does seem to have a vastly disproportionate number of ghastly little snots in its fold
actually... that's exactly what they were.
looked like the well-heeled types who can't figure out why daddy hasn't given them a quarry of minions yet.

I am soooo sick of ACT supporters - can we vote them off the island(s)?
just saw heather roy and a flotilla of them on cuba st.
my first thought was "everyone last one of them beaten up at school"

But in a week when our election has seemed dull in comparison to what happened in America
not so much dull as quaint... it's been a bit like watching the local borough council strut their stuff.
