38% want neither

A friend sent me this comment on the weekend's 'Preferred PM' ratings:
Neville Key, 32%
Evil Helen, 30%
Does this mean 38% want neither?
UPDATE: Another friend (yes, I have two) sent me these headlines, and a comment:
The Nats will tell us we should be happy about this. Can you contain your excitement?
His point being that if all we have to choose from is Tweedledum and Tweedledumber, then what does it matter which one's leading whom?

Give it up PC ;)

This is a major embarrassment for pro-smacking pundits - among other things it shows most NZers don't have an emotional investment in the right to hit their kids. I always thought someone pulled the 80% stat out of their ass and the pundits ran with it.

So what's your next prediction - we could run a book ;)

Ahhhh Ruth....? How full of shit can you get? How does this poll disprove the 80% figure?

Libertarians and 80% of those who pull their beliefs from the texts of bronze age fanatics were opposed to the amendment maybe.

The insane banterings and conspiracy theories have done nothing but expose their extremism to a greater audience.

This poll (ACT losing support too), is a reflection of the failure of the conservative movement.

You are all fighting over the tiller of a plague ship at this point.

Ruth, stop your sanctimonious 'I know best' posturing for a second and answer this please.

How would the new anti-smacking legislation have stopped those two pieces of Otara shit from beating the woman's toddler to death?

Plus Libertarianism is not Conservative.

New Zealand sheeple like their Big Nanny state. And it's delusional to pretend otherwise.

Personally, I'm past caring how libertarian John Key is, I just want to see Labour gone.
