Still party vote confusion, Anderton says

Still party vote confusion, Anderton says

Sun Nov 21 1999

A large proportion of voters are still confusing their electorate vote with their party vote, Alliance leader Jim Anderton told a public meeting in Christchurch today.

'I'm still coming across people who think that the 'party vote' means the vote for a local electorate MP.

'Most people who want a change of government will give their local electorate vote to the candidate most likely to beat the National-Act-NZ First candidate.

'The Alliance says that if you only give us one vote, make it the party vote, because that is the best way to make a coalition.

'Labour cannot win without a strong party vote for the Alliance and the Alliance will be campaigning this week to make it clear that a vote for the Alliance will make a change of government worthwhile,' Jim Anderton said.

Now that he’s back as Foreign Minister, maybe Winston Peters should start reading the MFAT website which is currently celebrating the 25th anniversary of how Kiwis alerted the rest of the world to the genocide in Rwanda. How times have changed ...

In 2023, the government is clutching its pearls because senior Labour MP Damien O’Connor has dared suggest that Gaza’s civilian population - already living under apartheid and subjected to sixteen years of an illegal embargo, and now being herded together and slaughtered indiscriminately amid the destruction of their homes, schools, mosques, and hospitals - are also victims of what amounts to genocide.

ACT: Call To Abolish Human Rights Commission

“The Human Rights Commission’s appointment of a second Chief Executive is just the latest example of a taxpayer-funded bureaucracy serving itself at the expense of delivery for New Zealanders,” says ACT MP Todd Stephenson. More


Public Housing Futures: Christmas Comes Early For Landlords

New CTU analysis of the National & ACT coalition agreement has shown the cost of returning interest deductibility to landlords is an extra $900M on top of National’s original proposal.
