When Winston came to Otago in 1999 (I think) he pulled in almost double that.

Also, OUSA is very loose with numbers – they count people attending their student association meetings as anybody within the radius of their union building. Add that to Labours well known truth stretching and you’ll have a far more modest number.

… people want to see & hear the next Prime Minister of New Zealand.

“That’s a lot more than the 35 or so that were at his Dunedin outing last week”…

Get it right you tosser – the function in Dunedin was by invitation only. Demand was so high that people were actually turned away – by the way it was 75 people. Numbers were restricted so that people could actually get to talk to John, as opposed to 1,500 who listened to Helen screech….

Shame that the following didn’t get more coverage as if they’re are anywhere near close with this prediction, it will be a BLOODBATH!

Stop hiring professional polling companies to gauge the mood of the nation, just poll schools!

An idiot… or a physicist

National get Tauranga Boys’ tick

22/10/2008 13:20:02

Tauranga Boys’ College, known for correctly picking election results, is tipping a big win for the National Party.

The results of a student vote just out, tip a landslide win for National. The party vote was 71 percent for National with Labour a distant second on 16 percent.

The vote on the Tauranga electorate was much closer, with 48 percent picking National’s Simon Bridges. New Zealand First leader Winston Peters is trailing just six percent behind on 42 percent.

The students of Tauranga Boys’ College have an uncanny record – they have predicted the result of all but two elections over the past three decades.

I would love to throw some voting stats at you from the last election dime, but “As a result of electorate boundary changes in 2007, the Botany electorate has no obvious existing election results.”

All i can say is it’s about 40% euro, 8.5% maori, 18% PI, 26% asian, with $71k median family income, and 47% of schools are decile 10, while 31% are decile one. Actually, stuffed if i know how that’s going to go!

Still a little way to go to the 1500 at Otago Uni last week for Labour.

How many people happened to be at Otago University that day? 15,000? So only ten percent of the students at the most left-wing university sat in the Quad while the PM spoke?

A bit different from 750 people going out of their way on an evening to go to a public hall to listen to John Key.

So 750 people turned up to hear the policies of Labour lite.

How bad does it have to get before the people of NZ wake up to the fact that only an idiot continues doing the same thing expecting a different result.

While Key is a nice man and an honest man he is not offering any real change other than a new face, we can only hope that the Nat’s leak votes to ACT in enough numbers that enables Rodney and Sir Roger to call the shots.

if you use that analogy – labour got flogged! fuck me! only 1500 students turned up?

Heck, we sold our place there about 12 years ago for $300,000, and its now on the market for 2.5 Million. Try and tell me thats not a well off community!

Oh wait, you’d probably get a bloody good turnout as there are quiet few here actually keen to meet you!

My home made Taser is almost complete…

Still a little way to go to the 1500 at Otago Uni last week for Labour.
