Truth column September 7

My September 7 Truth column is now on-line.

There’s every chance this is National’s last term in government. Its performance has been fair under difficult international and domestic circumstances, but where are the 2014 support partners?

In terms of reforms, measured against National's high-water marks of 1991 and 1951, they've been utterly utterly pathetic

But there is a real coalition partner that should give National a couple more terms at least: the Conservatives.

If John Boscowan or someone like him had been ACTs Epsom candidate, I am sure they would have done better. I couldn't vote for them last election when Banks was named their candidate.

"Where are the 2014 support partners?" We've still got two years to go, and I wouldn't discount the Conservatives.

Is it possible ACT could toss Banks out, or that he'd move on? Please, no more cafe scenes!

"Winston First off, once and for all" (?) It's been said before. Who would have predicted the last result?

IF Key sticks around, he has displayed remarkable capacity to form coalitions. Not so many years ago, the Maori Party would not have been seen as an obvious partner.
