Tick Labour Twice on Saturday #voteNZ

I've already cast my ballots: for Labour, for Grant Robertson and for MMP.

It's pretty simple really.

Labour's the only party which will tackle the economic problems that are holding us back; that will act to end child poverty; that will bring about a fairer and more equal society.  The other small parties of the Left share many of our views but are never in a position to lead and to act.  Labour is.

Labour is also the only party that can save our assets.

Grant in Wellington Central is a no brainer.  He is a great local MP, he will win the seat, and he is an important part of the future of the Labour Party.

MMP is also pretty simple.  I don't believe only ten thousand swing voters in each of ten marginal seats should decide who governs New Zealand: everyone's vote should count equally, and representation in Parliament should depend on support around the country.  MMP delivers that.

Whatever you do, make sure you vote, today or tomorrow.

I'll do a bit of a response to the results on Sunday sometime.

You've got to be kidding. Labour stole all of their policy from the Greens. Plus, when the Greens are in Opposition they actually get stuff done, Labour just shout in the debating chamber. Vote Green for an actual Opposition!
