National would bring back $5 prescription fees

I'm not so sure they'll mind too much about the blue rinse brigade - they know they can't last much longer & won't be around to vote for them long term.

And polls can be dodgy things; the only one which counts is on voting day.

The trend of note is the increase in ACT's popularity. It seems to me they're cannabising the Nat's voter base, possible attributable to their appeal to farmers and 'freedom to do whatever the fuck you choose to' individuals with their NRA aligned gun policies and libertarian leanings.

The risk of Luxon and co announcing poorly thought through and insensitive policies is front and centre of where National will place on election day. In many ways Luxon is an asset for Labour's campaigning if he continues his past practices and habit of having to roll back poorly presented sound bites.

To better show what this thread is discussing how about a picture.

Its still a thing of absolute amazement, that so many Kiwis can be so very hooked into greed that they're prepared to ignore any damage to other people & the planet just as long as they're doing very nicely thank you & if there are poor people - well then, they're just lazy & deserve to be poor.

If we keep going down this road there seems to be only one possible outcome & it isn't a good one.
