More questions for National

National’s former adman John Ansell is biting back again at the hand that once patronised him.

David Farrar posted at Kiwiblog several questions he’d asked at the latest National Party divisional conference; wherein Ansell then posted ten further questions this National Party needs to answer.  The first two give you an idea:

11. Which political system was the National Party founded to oppose?
12. Why aren’t we doing it?

Ansell’s ten pointed questions drew a stern rebuke from Master Farrar—but definitely no answer (because they’re mostly unanswerable?). I wonder how he’d have reacted if I posted the fifty-odd questions for National I posted here from the 2008 Fieldays? Sample:

• Q: Why has National climbed on board the anti-industry bandwagon in calling for "strong action on climate change" – which means government action to stop private action. We know that socialism doesn't work at fifteen degrees, so why do Nick Smith and National think it will work at seventeen?
• Q: Cutting taxes without cutting spending makes economic sense? Do you think anyone believes you when you say serious tax cuts don't require serious spending cuts to match?
• Q: Don Brash stated that National believed in One Law For All. Does John Key?

So head over to Kiwiblog to read all of Ansell’s questions (all but the anti-Chinese one are good) and, while you’re there, feel free to ask a few of those fifty-odd on my behalf.

And check out John’s latest blog post while you’re about it.  He has a few questions for the Greens as well . . .
