The welfare state is unsustainable economically, socially and morally.

Large majority think National should have done deal with Conservatives
A NewstalkZB poll surprises me. I'm one of the few 'no' votes. My preference is for ACT and a deal with the Conservatives might weaken that option:
Electorate deals Results
Should National have cut a pre-election deal with Colin Craig?
Yes94 %
No5 %

I'm with you. ACT have a very good leader and stand for reduced government interference. To see them poll so poorly makes me sad. I don't know what the Conservatives stand for, but I fear the worst.
I think that it all depended on the polls. National have watched the polling and have now taken a punt that they will not need anyone. The ACT and Dunne deals go back a fair way so are not difficult to maintain. Its a big call but not unreasonable - we all like to run our own show.
I despair at the public's fondness for the ongoing mediocrity of National who are, in my view, to the left of centre despite what they would have you think.

Maybe it is something to do with the demographics of a NewstalkZB audience.
