NZ First Key to Labour Government

Winston Peters to do well which I think he will, ACT and Rodney Hide to do bad which I think he will.

The issue for National is ACTs poor performance and their disgraced Leader.

Phil Goffs only chance to be PM is for NZ First to make 5% and ACT to not do as well but for a possible National Candidate in the seat of Epsom.

National don't need Rodney and could count on that vote if they had that seat.

If they were wise they will get some of the ACT vote, and stand to gain the best advantage if ACT perform bad, more so if Nats take back Epsom.

Phil Goff could form Labour,
Maori Party and NZ First.

Phil needs to support Winston, if he didn't realize Kiwis are flocking and the issues he is standing on.

Nationals best chance is to work in lower class areas and command ACT Voters.

Banks and Henry end PMs Honeymoon

It has no doubt been the longest running honeymoon period for any PM and Govt. This blessing though still having legs and could carry this mob throuth the next election.

The recent episode by Paul Henry in my opinion have hurt the PM and his image, he could be seen as weak and unable to make tough decisions.

Along with John Banks running a terrible and failed attempt to run Auckland. Which was given the JK kiss of death.

The CHCH earthquake has given them a few points but the mess its left behind and Bob Parker.

NZ First and United Future will be ones to look for, I think a lot of swing votes who went National last time might shop around this time.

If ACT continue to implode and National run a credible candidate then we may see a shakeup.

Labor need not get to excited as most the votes who went National was to vote agaisnt Labor, the issue now is we have either terrible policy or a mob doing what the last mob were doing.

Leah Panapa and Willie Jackson

The past week has been about who are the two Maori to take over from Paul Henry.

Well I say Willie Jackson and Leah Panapa each have the fine tuned skills to cut in the TVNZ World.

Each make up for their skills and short falls, Leah is such a lovely person, the profile she has brought from the Glad ads and the TV2 news breaks has made her a formidible candidate and I would be surprised given her grooming she hasn't been considered.

Willie is the Interview person hecan do the business both have and work in TV and TVNZ and can do this.

Willie and Leah.

Campaign Over

Well that was a lot of fun I ran a nice small tidy campaign and got some positive feedback. This was a foundation to build on and extend in other areas. I am going to concentrate on my job and building my business. I am also working on Campaigns for next years Election.

I am also going to make some commentary of how I think this election went and recall some of the issues. I will also be looking closely at what my local board is doing.

Foundation Campaign

This campaign has been a good way to test the systems and to set a foundation block to work from. As an Independent Candidate the thing that really annoys me is where tickets run in all seats that have multiple seats. I think this should be capped so that no one brand can sit in all seats when there are multiple positions. The other thing that is a concern are hoardings. In particular two rules one hoarding per site, and no other sign to be attached to the hoarding. Besides the other shananigans this has been a really good campaign.
