In the next 5 years Denise, you will understand fully how very wrong you are. Good luck.

Sorry 'David'. The two main parties are not the same. On one side we have a nanny state party who likes to control and strip the guts out of us through various uneven types of tax to fund their socialistic fancies while forcing changes on us that affect the very moral fabric of our society. Labour with Goff in full support sold off 100% ownership of Air NZ for M$600 & when it was almost broke, bought back 79% of it for $M$800. Goff then helped sell Sell 100% of Yellow Pages Printing, Post Bank and Telecom. All collectively worth over 10 times more than all the other parties combined, have ever done in their entire political history. Labour also asset stripped NZR and closed down railway workshop centers nation-wide with the loss of 1000s of apprentice and tradesmen jobs, leaving national no option but sell the remnants to tidy up Labour's mess. National on the other hand has proposed to sell off some current assets but retain a majority controlling interest in all these, together with over 50% of the profits. Taxes under National have also been made more equitable, but the top 5% income earners still pay over 90% of taxes collected. To be fair, everyone should pay the same tax rate. David, I find the two parties are poles apart and certainly not the "SAME THING" as you put it.

Congratulations Keith and Denise for proving that National and Labour are much of the same and have been for about 3 decades.
