Mr Bridges’ priorities

Where do Mr Bridges priorities lie?  It was recently reported that he was too busy to attend ‘meet-the-candidate’ meetings.  However, they are where the average voter expects to be able to meet all candidates, to hear their views and ask questions.
Two of his priorities should be the growing issue with the Maori led race based movement of ‘dual nationhood’ (i.e. separatism) – publicly supported by MP Flavell; and people’s well-being.  
Last election, National promised to do away with the Maori seats, and to not raise GST.  The governmental electoral commission recommended the former, together with having only one electoral role for all voters.  As Phil Goff has said, the latter was to fund tax cuts that gave him a several hundred dollar a week increase.
As an aside, the immediate disassembling of the Waitangi Tribunal gravy train would also ensure we were all better off, including non-corporate Maori, without selling assets!
Fortunately, being a floating voter I am not bound to ‘toe any particular party’s line’.  However, it is interesting to note that the only party, whose founding principle was to have a united country with one rule for all, is NZ First.  And while in opposition 2002/2005, they ‘worked’ with Labour to have the seabed and foreshore - together with the several trillion dollars of iron sands contained therein - vested in the Crown (where it rightfully belongs) for the benefit of all New Zealanders.
