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.

    Don should be Finance Minister.

    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.

We welcome thoughtful disagreement.
But we do (ir)regularly moderate comments -- and we *will* delete any with insulting or abusive language. Or if they're just inane. It’s okay to disagree, but pretend you’re having a drink in the living room with the person you’re disagreeing with. This includes me.
PS: Have the honesty and courage to use your real name. That gives added weight to any opinion.
