The following media reports tell a story – a story most of us knew intuitively. (National/ACT supporters look away now.)

Lest we forget!!
National voters always do forget. Every 6-9 years their minds are wiped blank of everything National did in the past, whilst somehow retaining every detail of Clark signing a painting she didn’t do herself as if this was the crime of the century.
