There may be a successful attack line now in labelling National as the Do-Nothing Government
Really? That's exactly the line that has been used for ages (and look at the results). It lets the government off the hook for all the stealthy public sector gutting they've been doing, behind the smiling and waving.
I'd rather see Labour put their energy into more like the Own Our Future campaign and show that they can work together as a team and with allies.
