Yeah I agree that not voting is a vote for john keys corruption. At least if you vote you can cancel out a national vote. I still don't understand why people like him so much and stand behind nationals values. Not only is he corrupt and serves his personal interests, he has stuffed up early childhood and education. One of their policies is that they will help children that are falling behind, but they are not funding the kids that don't meet national standards. So many things he says are lies or misleading. And people don't like the asset sales and yet they are still voting national. If you don't like it vote for someone else. If only our government cared about the country and people instead of taking from the poor and mining our conservation land.
