		<description>&lt;i&gt;But think about it, it’s a friggen election!! Are we all this naive to think that our glorious politicians AREN’T going to have secret agendas…&lt;/i&gt;

Well, prior to getting elected in &#039;99, Labour released a comprehensive alternative budget two elections in a row. It only hurts to release policy if people won&#039;t like your policies.

And regardless of partisanship, surely a bit of investigation is a good thing? If the press is purely reactive, we just get more spin.</description>

		<description>The major issue facing the electorate this year is law and order. More specifically, the number of doggie yoof gangs who have tagged their faeces all over respectable areas like Helensville. To deal with this scourge, the Smashional Party would like to announce a &quot;three shits&quot; rule - after an offender has been apprehended shitting on a politician&#039;s lawn three times they will be put down. Rifling through rubbish shall be punishable by neutering, and gangs of more than two dogs will be barred from meeting. This is all.</description>

		<description>&quot;If the secret recordings were of Helen and her MP buds instead, and Helen then reacted in the same manner as John Key, would you write a similar post about Labour’s desperate conspiracy theories…?&quot;

Yes I would. But im not so naive as to think Helen and her cronies would have handled it in the same way. Look at the Mike Williams scandal for example.  

&quot;Perhaps it’s time for “this person” or “these people” to fess up and face the music about why they feel the need to secretly record MPs over casual conversations…?&quot;

Well, I dunno - at a guess, it would probably be that they have a genuine concern for open, transparent and honest political discourse in an election year. Got any good reasons why thats not an important thing to strive for?</description>
