So Close So Far Away

New Zealanders have chosen by the narrowist of margins another 3 years of conservative short sighted government in the form of a coalition of the National, Act and NZ First parties.. People like me living on the low income fringe of society are sad. There will now be more entrenched reduction in government services while the wealthy heave a sigh of relief that they will continue to pay less tax and acrue even more wealth while their accountants 'cook the books' and the working poor slip further into poverty...... I wish it wasn't so! Thank God I live in a democracy and so in 3 years it might be very different.
