    The poverty of the response to reality by our government - who deny
    the existence of the poverty their own Social Report makes clear has
    become a lot worse since they were elected.

    Okay, gentle reader. Poverty is not okay in this country of ours. However,
    from a policitical view point it is is a red herring, wasted effort.

    The road we are on is the rich are getting richer and less of % of the population and the poor are increasing. The middle is being squashed out.
    There is no middle if we continue along this path.

    This is what is concerning the middle ground, the masses. Their life style
    is being eroded by people with more $ than they can lift. After all money
    was once about the amount of gold one had.

    The present Government is like a hippy on a dope smoking session. No worries man! Certainly leadership has gone west.

    Trump, and Brexit have shown where we are going. The question is when.

    It will come out of any field, left, right, or green and when it does the present poltical parties will be somewhat surprised. To say the least.

    The weak point, to be attacked, is one of showing that the middle class that they are not getting an improved lifestyle on the present road. The people in poverty will be voting left, or will they? People on the rich side vote
    blue or red in the case of the US of A.

    So Labour is on the wrong track, National think that poll results will
    Govern, and the Greens just advocate silly and stupid ideas, depending when you talk to them.

    Set your scanners, and increase your memory, because someone is riding out
    of some field and will hit so fast that this ng will have soem real
    discussion. Maybe.

    It'll come as a surprise to you Rich that it was a lot worse at the end
    of Labours nine years as government.
