I cannot understand why Winston Peters, an up-and-running candidate and former deputy prime minister, has appeared just once recently on TV news - and that only after a dismissed possible NZ First candidate stupidly drank his own urine on 20/20.
I cannot understand, why oh why, National has promised, if elected outright, to sell our dams and rivers to Australia. Meridian Energy earns $250 million and Mighty River Power 500 million a year for the government.
I just do not believe the Wizard of Finance, Bill English's 'We are still better positioned than most countries.”
I cannot understand why John Key is given such an easy ride by the media in view of the impending world economic doom predicted by some reputable economists.
I muse as to why the peasants aren't revolting in the streets over the increase in GST, tax breaks for the rich and rising supermarket food prices.
And I cannot understand why we have not the promised tunnel at Hairini.
Why has National promised to sell Kiwi Bank?
Most of all, I fail to see why our current MP, or his immediate predecessor, has not removed the ineffectual toll on Route K and thus freed up Cameron Road.
I do, however, believe opinion polls have regularly been very wrong in the past.
