Act party leader Jamie Whyte is in Tauranga today holding two public meetings in a final effort to gain votes ahead of Election Day on Saturday.
At 10.45am Jamie is speaking at the Tauranga Yacht and Power Boat Club before a second meeting at Club Mount Maunganui at 5.30pm.
The party's four campaign issues are cutting regulation, getting tough on crime, pushing for low flat tax and promoting their party slogan ‘One country, one law' which aims to stamp out the effect of race-based laws.
The latest Vote Compass (Colmar Brunton) poll results have the Act Party on 1.2 cent of support, or 28,000 votes – the highest polling percentage for the party to date this election.
See SunLive later today for coverage of the 10.45am meeting.

1.2% gets Jamie in

David Seymour is winning Epsom and the party vote as polled is enough to get Jamie into parliament. ACT will do better on Saturday and we may see Kenneth Wang, Robin Grieve, even Beth Houlbrooke and Don Nicolson going to Wellington.
Have read all parties policies

As indeed we ALL should. So I don't feel a need to listen to the talking heads. Some reading of Wikipedia pages (SOME of which have recently been sanitized) and the political party pages is quite revealing also.

Morally and politically bankrupt

You have all become so accustomed to the politics of the left (Labour and National) that you have no idea how important a party with rigid party principles could be. You all moan like blazes about how they all flip-flop and cant trust them to do the right thing, and here is a party FINALLY looking like they mean to stick to their party principles - and you cant see it - or WORSE - dont recognise the importance. ACT have the potential to be the ONLY party to allow you to keep hold of what is yours, and what YOU earn. Instead the morally and politically bankrupt are all enamoured with parties that promise and bribe them with stuff they intend to TAKE from others. Sickening
