Helen Clark by Stealth
30 July 2008 – 8:11 pmAfter John Key announced that he will keep the "Working for Families", I really start to wonder, what's the difference between this guy and the Big Sister Helen? Especially the scheme was label by the same person who wants to be our Prime Minister as "Communism by stealth"?
No wonder that Mr key is more like a "Helen Clark by stealth".
Nah that's just a joke. Actually Mr Key is on the right way.
The reason why the old Don fell short by few seats in the last election is that, while people were tired with the Labour, they were not yet ready to accept a right-wing party to govern. Don went too right, and that's definitely very unattractive to Labour and centrist voters.
National improved a lot in the last election, but it was came by squeeze seats out of future coalition partners - Labour lost only one seat in that election
What John Key is doing, is to show Labour voters that, I got all Auntie Helen would offer to you people, and I have stuffs like big tax cut, which she doesn't have.
I think it would be a effective strategy to get labour votes, as long as people don't care about their children and grandchildren...
