Yesterday I asked the question - is there any point in voting for Labour given John Key's masterful ability to get the balance just right.
It appears Kiwiblog and The Standard are thinking the same thing.
David Farrar:"In fact it even makes you wonder what Phil Goff has to offer, apart from his daily whine that the Government needs to be doing more."The Standard:"....but when I see them putting the minimum wage up, dancing with transexuals and hobnobbing with iwi I start to think that old school reactionary right might finally be on the outs and "that nice man, Mr Key" might be the real face of National."
Irish Bill wonders why the right hasn't kicked up much fuss over National's apparent left-wing approach to certain issues. Ignoring Irish Bill's stereotypical perception of centre-right voters (what's up with the left always doing that?) - NX-file's reckons it all comes down to style. National has stopped the 'lunch box police', canned the idea of forcing people to buy a specific type of light bulb, and had a moderate response to the Israeli crisis as oppose to the lecturing, high horse rhetoric favoured by the former PM.
If Irish Bill reckons Key dancing with transexuals or, Key trying to forge a good relationship with Maori are things that upset the average centre-right voter - then you really have to ask who exactly is the the prejudicious one here.....???
