National take election.

The election 2008 is over, and the Labour axis hydra will not be able to form a government. National will lead the 49th parliament after they strike a deal with thier natural coalition partner Act.

In the end, I broke with my traditional National vote and put my party vote behind getting a strong Act infuence in the next government. They will now get Sir Roger Douglas and John Boscawen to boost their numbers, fantastic news.

Finally, Winston First is gone. Winston Peters should have been more up front with the media, and sonce he has been cleared of wrongdoing, he might have been returned had he just fronted with the truth. NZ First disappears from parliament and time will tell if wieter Winston Peters or Ron Mark can brign the party back into parliament, or languish off stage like the Alliance/

Congratulations to prime minister John Key and National. Boy I have waited patiently to say that!

Election Mood.

This has been a most interesting campaign. From National's "{brighter future" Act's "tough on crime" and Labour's "Get John at all cost." Yes, that was their big thing.

I'm thrilled that Labour chose to run this election on trust and attack John Key. It was a masterstroke of capmaigning that worked wonders... for National. I onyl wish they had more time to launch more Neutron bombs, we could have been looking at a landslide here had they gone with more smears an innuendo.

WARNING: If you detest being told what lightbulb you can use, what pressure to have your showers, what you can eat kick this lot out!

Crunch Time

In just under 6 hours, the polls for the New Zealand general election will open. It's crunch time and all four main polls point to National forming the next government. Only the Roy Morgan poll is acting like a stick in the mud and predicting a closer race, the Morgan poll was, however, conducted in lacte October and does not cover the time period in which LOabour's much vaunted "neutron bomb" against Key backfired.

How Labour retain any credibility is beyond me. They are a venal, corrupt lot who are more interested in their smears than debatign what really matters to this country. Helen Clark must be annoyed that thier only election platform this tear, "get John" has backfired. If onyl they had more to offer than "John Key is anti-Christ, eats babies and will sell you down the river" unsubstantiated claptrap, maybe Clark would have mor eof a shot at a historic fourth term.

Labour Slaughters National in Shock Poll

A Shock poll result has Labour leading National with 36.9% of the vote. National has plummeted dramatically into a disatrous slot with 7% and is barely keeping itself above the 5% threshold. Little known party the Liberals will make up the opposition with it's near-Labour matching 30.9% with the Greens taking in a respectable 13% with anothe rlittle known party the Democrats polling in at 5%.

On this result Helen Clark wins a fourth term, National is gutted and neither Act, the Maori Party of the Progressives make it back in. NZ First is also goneburger unless Winston Peters pulls fo a Lazarus election comeback in Tauranga.

The twist in the sordid tale of the horror poll? It's a Muffin Break coffee bean poll. which accounts for the latt'e drinkign caf'e liberal set already joined at the hip to a Labour hydra AXIS.

Meanwhile Hub Hornby's bean poll bucks the trend with Labour taking a pasting on the hustings.

Give that girl an award!

Oh dear. According to the SST, Hannah Hodson's interview with singer Pink was so bad, Pink ended up storming off and Hodson's career may be in jepoardy (and not the nice, game showy type either.)

The pink one apparently stormed off when asked by Hodson about her sister's workign relationship with the singer. Going from the little evidence the SST has provided, Hodson may have forgotten to let her cooler head prevail.

This incident has eerie similarities to rival TV3's sitcom the Jackie Brown Diaries, in which Jackie interviews fictional rapper Bizzy Trickle, and handles it so disastrously the rapper walks out of the interview. Must be more than coincidence. TV3 must have known something. Coincidences this grand don't just fall from the sky.
