Election 2008

If the National Party has had 9 years in opposition to select, groom and hone a dream team of politicians then how come we still have Maurice Williamson and Lockwood Smith as spokesmen?

You would think that there would be policy to burn with carefully costed master plans for everything but no, we have dribbles of policy made up on the spot to appeal to which ever sector may supply a few easy votes.

Where is the “This is what we stand for” statements? We get meaningless waffle such as “Less Bureaucrats”, “Tax Cuts for All” and “Stop People Going Overseas” or “Longer Prison Terms” with no background.

Where will bureaucrats be cut from? What cut backs will be made to give tax cuts? What is so bad about getting some OE? Do we enjoy our status as having the second highest prison population in the modern world?

The National Party seems to think they can sleep walk to an election victory and then make up policy as they see fit. They have got to do a lot more than that to convince me they will be suitable to govern the country.
