RvT 9 Report post Posted November 8, 2008 Let the battles begin, god help the little man and watch the fat cats get fatter! It is the "fat cats" that spend the money, buy more toys, buy more machinery, employ more people, have to pay more wages, country gets prosperous and everyone gains. While the past few years have been "good" for the working man (which I don't have an issue with), as a country we have gone backwards internationally with lower product output per person as we have spent more profit on wages than on investment in machines and technology. The key is to have a balance and the last few years have been one sided. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jjs 60 Report post Posted November 9, 2008 I voted Bill and Ben. Gutted didn't even get 1% I can't believe there were about 1000 idiots who wasted their vote that way! The stupidity of some NZers never ceases to amaze me. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mike 1 Report post Posted November 9, 2008 I can't believe there were about 1000 idiots who wasted their vote that way! The stupidity of some NZers never ceases to amaze me. They made 0.5%, doesn't sound like much that way but thats 1 in 200 people. and it was 10700 people voting for them. Gonna be interesting times, particularly seeing how much of Labour's "achievements" will be undone. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bravo 34 Report post Posted November 9, 2008 haha Shelley - we did the same thing on Wednesday night (actual guy fawkes) We had one of helen clark, and one of Winnie the pooh. So let me know who you want out of politics next election and I'll burn them on the bonfire - I think I have special powers... I'm glad Peter Dunne got thrown in the mix. He's a weird looking fella who says strange things, but I get the impression he's very intelligent and does a good job. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mike 1 Report post Posted November 10, 2008 sort of played it, actually quite disappointing. No-one was really paying a huge amount of attention though so probably missed a few things. Surpised ALAC hasn't been complaining about it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
