 Your average Joe blog is going out there and voting and possibly the national line which will be obviously just the national line which will be saying something like you vote for John Kear or vote for Phil Goff with all of the others, which would you rather have? But a bunch of people will also be listening to Winston Peters, to the Greens, to whatever, whatever and they're going to be hearing all those other voices as well and as you know when it comes to an election it's the minor parties with more oxygen But that's not the audience that John Kear and his strategists are addressing. What he's addressing are the 150,000 to 200,000 people that he drew across last time. He has to hold them or lose. These are the people I call white-tackery man and white-tackery woman who definitely shifted their allegiance to the National in 2008. He is aiming to hold them in. He is relying on their dislike of Labour and the Greens, political correctness, nanniescape, whatever you want to characterise it as. He's relying on that animosity to be strong enough to keep them adhered to the National for one more election and that crucial question which Cameron Slater, you know, no friend of the left, various tutelage I thought suggested as the key question which Labour should ask over and over and over again throughout 2011 is simply do you feel better off now than you did in 2008? Has National made you better off or has it made you worse off? Well that's a great place to leave it. Chris Trotter, thank you very much for joining us today.
