    Oh dear I just read under the STV points the words, "Very complicated", AFAIK you must substantiate this kind of claim.

    And look at the old station and it's environs now.

    I retired as a copywriter many many years ago when I learned that...I am not interested in another's guilt because I cannot change it, I am however interested in mine, because I can.
    The whole MMP thing is a sideshow, we got it arguably by stealth in my view and because of the nutters that are pushing to change it why don't we simply leave it to bed in, because in my view it's just starting to work, against them (the nabobs) and for us, the plebs.
    Update, not when they game the system like this though,
    Act is not standing in several marginal electorates - including West Coast Tasman, Waimakariri and New Plymouth - under a quiet deal with National.

    Mr Key has said National was campaigning for the party vote only in Epsom - which is Act's lifeline to Parliament as it struggles in the polls.

    However he is yet to give a stronger indication to National voters to vote for Mr Banks, saying it "depends if I'm thirsty" on whether he would have a cup of tea with Banks.

    BTW, another very unusual article in the Herald though wouldn't you say?

    Was a Batman quote because you know, how does John get these neat articles in the Herald on a Monday morning, arguably it's a freakin' ad, and why is the Herald constantly signalling for John whether or not he is going to support Banks?
    How, tell me how?
    Question for John, of all your 2008 election promises which one's do you feel you have acheived competently - points off for mentioning Labour or the Financial crises, or Christchurch, or Pike River because you know as well as I do that these were not part of your election promises. Perhaps now that Veitch has destroyed Cunniliff for you, I get to nominate the questioner?

    I could make a very strong case to have that ad pulled on the basis that there is no arrow leading from the MMP tickbox suggesting your selection terminates there.

    Road revenue is higher than rail for the Govt coffers. They see roads as vending machines and I suspect put that revenue into their value add calculations, i.e. value to them, not us.

    It is definitely an Advertising Standards Commission thing, without question it is misleading advertising.

    Copywriter fail. Why are we even having this referendum again, MMP is not demonstrably badly skewed, is it? I would have liked to see the 4 year term referendum instead.

    Where does he get those toys?
    "They are socially quite a long way to left and economically they want to put a lot of costs on businesses and slow down the economy so in that regard they are much more akin to Labour."

    Rail was how the west was won, not how to keep it. Do they hand those BMW's back for the holidays?

    Bart "Oh and one political party has promised to support it while another has promised to oppose it."
    That would be the eternal Auckland Negation Principle operating right there.
