John Key is Prime Minister because of Epsom ... Without Epsom there's no Act. Without Act, Helen Clark would still be Prime Minister.
Act leader Rodney Hide has sent a message to the National Party, saying it could lose power if it fails to give him an easy ride in the Epsom electorate next year.
the Government's handling of the foreshore and seabed issue would lead to "a proliferation of iwi-owned beaches. That's not what New Zealanders want. And [Treaty Negotiations Minister] Chris Finlayson and the National Party have no mandate to deliver it.
there was nothing to prevent iwi with customary title charging for access to beaches and said it would give politicians the power to cut back-room deals with iwi rather than leaving it to the transparency of the courts
With nothing to lose, I feel the dog has been unleashed and has a do or die target. About time, the political landscape is in need of a serious rev up.

As with the 'anti-smacking bill' and the 'CO2 emssions bill', this government is not merely unresponsive to the majority, but contemptuous of it.
Lying Len wants a 'rip-snorting' pull out of the economy lead by Auckland....................I can't see that happening under his watch, it'll be tax and spend and a few new trees in Queen St.
Perhaps now that Rodney isn't distracted by the Super Shitty, he will be able to focus on getting ACT's message out in some coherent manner. I just hope the brand hasn't been too badly damaged by the recent sideshows.
They really need to pick a theme for 2011, and no nothing but hammer it from now until election day.
