Well, the general election is over.
It was pretty much like elections everywhere; largely a duel of wits between unarmed opponents. No answers, but lots of different names for the problems.
I therefore present a New Zealand political addendum to the fully encompassing “Religions of the world“
Political party | Ethos |
---|---|
National | Shit wont happen if we sell some assets |
Labour | Time for capital gains tax on your shit |
Greens | This shit wouldn’t happen if we had a carbon tax. |
NZ First | You deal with the shit. I have an expenses claim to file. |
ACT (Don Brash) | Let’s smoke some shit. |
ACT (Everyone else) | How much longer do I have to keep paying for this shit? |
Maori | The treaty says you have to pay for all the shit |
Mana | “I’m the only one who acted like a statesman in there” shit. |
…all we REALLY want is a hung parliament.

Addendum: Seen in this week’s “Weekend Sun”
