Mayor Banks Slash and Burn

Well John Banks has done it - reminded us of the National party's vision for society. Keep the rates low by cutting social service. Services to the elderly and poor are under review. Funding for social work is being cut. It appears that JBs conversion to JC has not helped him to see that JC had a sucinct vision for society, something along the lines of good news to the poor.

While JB is showing his true colours John Key (JK?) is still trying to hide his.

Does he want to sell off Auckland Airport? I think I see a shade of true blue ink leaking out!
Does he want to cut social spending? JK like JB can not help himself here. If given the chance he will cut social spending and we will be back in the 90's once again. Like JB it will be the elderly the poor and the vulnerable who will suffer first and foremost. Let all those who have been disenchanted with Labour beware; a National government will be like a Bank s'Auckland - ruthless, uncaring and suited to the rich and powerful.

Will JK show his true colours over the paid maternity leave? He has been happy to hide his deep blue behind Labours bright red until now - but the governments policy of trying to flush JK out must surely show us the real difference soon. The sooner the better.

I just hope the voters aren't colur blind
