I think Key's fundamental weaknesses are being revealed in the heat of the campaign. Key can be Arrogant, not good on detail and resentful when contradicted. It says much about our supine media that it has taken 5 years for them to report this.

My 2c is that while I'm tempted just to ignore the whole thing, abstention is not really an option.
I agree with the law change so I'm voting yes. Even if if to cancel out some right-wing, slap happy nutters vote.
A reverse of this

Mr Farrar is now running US political tests, odd you'd think he would be crowing about this triumph for John Key's decisive leadership.
