We voted today to fulfil our civic duty.
The result is in and National have won, the blue team. They will be working with ACT and United Future. ACT will have an MP called Roger Douglas, who is potentailly a divisive character. He is remembered for “Rogernomics” when he was a Labour party finance minister in the 1980s and part of a Government that imposed huge social and financial changes with major deregulation of the economy. They are also looking to get the Maori Party involved, even though numerically they do not need them.
Interesting times ahead given that other recent elections (USA and Australia) have voted in more socialist leaders and we are moving towards the right.
We are curently doing that thing that one does-watching the tv, seeing the results come in and watching the reactions, speeches and interviews.
