I'm very disappointed with the way the Nats went, I must say. For all their blather about representing rural areas and wanting the best for their electorates, they really let down their voters by going with the Liberals.

I've not got all that *much* against the Liberals, mind, although I do vote Labour. It just strikes me as wrong that the Nats would turn down the *better* offer, Labour offering not only to meet their 25% demand, but promising around a billion dollars more over the course of the next four years.

I guess the federal Nats have more influence than the state Nats have integrity.
