Election Predictions... Submitted by Elijah on Sat, 2008-09-13 09:11.
On my weblog I made some predictions about the forthcoming General Election and have reproduced them here... Helen Clark has announced the date of the General Election for November 8th. No great surprises over that date and certainly a relief as it gives me more time in Tamaki to campaign. I still hold to my long held view that Labour will be re-elected and serve a 4th term; and in view of my total hatred and contempt for Tories I must say if we are not going to have a Libz government it may as well be Labour than National. The National party have nothing to offer, nothing to say, no policies and are untrustworthy which I am sure sufficient electors will realise. My prediction is Labour 40%, National 40%, Greens 6%, NZ First 5% (yes, yes, I know), ACT 2%, others 7% ...with Parliament being Labour 50, National 49, Greens 7, NZ First 6, ACT 3, Maori Party 3, United Future 1, Progressive 1 That a chap with working class origins, a working class accent, years of deceit, limited intelligence and gauche middle class values becomes Prime Minister is simply unthinkable. For my own campaign I think it will go well and be a case study for future Libz candidates on what to do ....highlighting a specific Libz policy which connects, and gaining votes accordingly. I must say, I cannot wait for November 9th when I will either be moving to Wellington or off to Australia for a well deserved holiday

Make money from predicting the outcome of the election
Check out iPredict.co.nz. Could hardly be easier to use, you can trade with as little as $5 and anyone who is better than the average trader at predicting election results will make money.
The best part is that the more people trade, the more accurate the overall predictions (determined by the price of each stock) become.
Then the Country can simply
Then the Country can simply tick the Libz box
..ha ha
I see on the news a change of Government in Western Australia is about to take place.....an example of a party (the liberals) in disarray, miles behind in opinion polls for a couple of years...yet staging a last minute surge in the final two weeks to actually win!
At election time nothing is a sure thing..ha ha! ..and with any luck the same thing will happen here; and some solo people will get their comeuppance and be signing on for the unemployment benefit soon afterwards.
(opps, did I say that?)

Right you are
That's why I wouldn't bet on that outcome.
The country should pray you're wrong.
I'll be happy when I collect - I'll get the first round.
Done! However, even 3%
Done!
However, even 3% more than Labour does not necessarily mean a change of government

I'll bet $50 that National beat Labour by greater than 3%. OK ?

Good to see you've made a smart move, if you come down to Civilisation.

Pretty depressing stuff...
...your prediction means that Libz will not even get 1% of the vote. That would be about 10'000 votes, no?
Let's hope you're wrong as usual
