ACT reject coalition

Don Brash announced yesterday that the ACT Party, if it still exists after November, may not go into formal coalition with any government.

And nor should they

A principled party would not need to.

And a party with John Banks holding the anchor seat would not want to.

If they have above 10% - in particular 15% or more

then they must

Half the current National caucus was brought into Parliament by Sir Don Brash - they owe him their allegience. Half of the rest are capable of simple arithmetic: they know Don is far far better for NZ than Bill.

Don should be Finance Minister

Hell - Don should have been PM and Helllen in Gaol.

But a good ACT showing means Don would have the numbers to roll English.

But if you think the ACT Party will get anywhere near 10% of the vote, you're delusional.

And if you want John Banks anywhere near cabinet, you're insane.

And if you think the Libertarianz will get anywhere near 0.1% of the vote you're delusional.

Forget about ACT Pete and concentrate on your own embarrassment of a party.

Ah yes, another bold and insightful comment from someone too timid even to leave a name.
