How to win an election

Promise to to privatise the Post Office.

Japanese Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi has won a huge mandate with 276 seats out of 480. Add on his allies and the Government will have 304 seats.

The postal service is a US$3 trillion business. I’d love to be the company handling the sale with the standard 1% commission 🙂

I doubt NZ Post would fetch as much sadly.
