A vote for National . . .
Here are some points to note about Don Brash:
- He would have sent troops to Iraq. Thus we would be partly responsible for the current mess.
- He wants to sell KiwiBank. If KiwiBank was just another commercial operation, would they keep offering those low credit card and mortgage interest rates? I can't see why.
- He wants to allow nuclear-propelled ships into the country. Is this decision his to make? I think New Zealanders have made their opinion pretty clear on that issue over the years.
Of course I would never vote for National anyway, so I like to apply the "what would my parents do?" test. And I can't see my parents supporting any of these points.
