October Public Polls

There were four public polls in October – two Morgans, a Herald poll and a TV3 poll. Their average sees a 28% gap between National and Labour – a post election high.

Most married men would be wishing their honeymoons had lasted as long as this one.

Some honeymoon considering all the complaints that National are just fucking around.
No poll surprises.

Labour must not panic. Things were just as bad for them in February. They must stay the course and stick with Goff. He is their best chance of an upset win.

Like in a real honeymoon I still feel like I am getting royally screwed by the government.

They are all rogue polls, the only one that will coun will be in 2011, etc, etc.

The government have been like swatting up the Kama Sutra, 2010 should be the year of the National bonk.

With so many rouges out there the government will just have to either limit the number of polsters as at the number in 1960 or maybe have a licencing fee as a revenue gathering tool or the poor bloody socialists and their camp followers may feel an insatiable need to commit suicide and we wouldn’t want that ,would we?.

No surprises there given what constitutes the opposition.
Vote:I don’t even have to visit the stranded to know their panties will be all bunched up their buttcracks. Hard to believe they can actually take themselves seriously, they are so out of touch with normal kiwis. Trev Alert actually makes for a good read after a visit to the stranded

gravedodger, how many rouges does it take to make a powder puff?
Vote:Jokes aside, they should get Michael Mann to select the samples used for polling, then they could get the results they want.

Trev Alert
*snort* haha

Of course these results are all nonsense. If the definitive ‘Barker Poll’ results were included they would show Labour ahead by 10% and Phil preferred leader (ahead of Brian Tamaki) by a whopping 50%.

Watch the polls go into free fall when Neville gives away our beach access birthright to the Apartheid party.

Does this make you a socialist?
Vote:November 3rd, 2009 at 3:53 pm
Haha, interesting point. Should the beaches remain available to the whole communisty or should they be privatised?

As long as Labour and Goff keep out of divorce court, the nat honeymoon can last indefinitely.

I suspect those jumping off the jolly ship Liarbore are been pick up by the Nats, in fact they probably feel right at home, same ideals with added bonus of better looking leader that doesn’t tell everyone how to live their lives everyday.

Um, beaches are owned by the tax payers of this country as far as i am concerned … well untill government sells them for another buck like they did to the Maori.
Vote:November 3rd, 2009 at 7:55 pm
there is a big problem with these poll results and that is there is only 1 direction to go, and yes, it is down.
Vote:Now, when they do go down, the left will say the honeymoon is over and the worm has turned and the Nats are stuffed.
It is important to look at polls as nothing more than a snap shot .. not the be end all.
Great result though, no surprises.
Foreshore and Sea bed .. a potential disaster but who better to lead it than JK.

What is so special about beaches? “…prove to the courts that they possessed a common law property right in their portion of NZ’s foreshore & seabed. And if they could prove such a right to a legal standard of proof, then why on earth should anyone object?” and all that.
