Quelle horreur. On July 9, Bill English’s minders decided to do a poll on Labour’s emerging Capital Gains Tax proposal.
Given the database, they must have expected a resounding No.
But that’s not what happened. Quite the opposite. So the poll was quickly taken down.
But not before someone did a screen-save…
You think?
Do you support a capital gains tax?
No
37%, 1849 Votes
Yes
64%, 3205 Votes
Total of 5054 votes.
So it’s exactly the same situation as Cunliffe’s poll on “will you be better off after the budget” then?
Have you been asleep for the past week? Nothing new in this post. These details on many blogs for days!
What about comment on the Roy Morgan poll of 20th?
Sharpen up …
i was watching this poll closely once it was highlighted by Pagani. Labour flunkies repeat voting was evident. If CGT was so popular why aren’t Labour polling much higher?
Doesn’t matter when this came out cos its still makes thunderbrow bill a double-dippin dipton dipstick!
Less than a quarter of New Zealanders trust the Labour Party to run the economy, according to a ONE News Colmar Brunton poll.
The poll showed 53% of respondents trust the National Government the most to manage the books, compared to 24% who trust Labour.
Then I suppose that those 53% are enjoying record inflation courtesy of the Nats mis management !
twelve days after trevor tweeted and blogged this to spike the poll, brendon finally notices, good grief!
What is really interesting is that the right didn’t bother defending the double dipper.
Hilarious. Kiwis are not as shallow and fickle as these Tories, and maybe they are getting sick of short term band aid fixes and endless spin and photo ops with bollywood stars and tech-geeks, and actually welcome some genuinely innovative and bold long term solutions? No wonder the only sold thinker on the Tory side, Simon Power, is getting out.
“Blinglish”, “Double Dipton”, heh, squiggle all you like torys about the polls, but it is going to be a close election. Significantly there is already a fork in the road for voters to consider, “asset sales vs CGT” with many more points of difference with NACT to come from Labour by polling (the real one) day.
For the 75% of kiwis that exist on $50k per annum or less the hard call will have to be made in November-Can you eat and educate your kids on smile and wave’s spin and aspiration? I can’t, I want robust collective bargaining, minimum wage to $15, ACC restored, National Standards scrapped and so on. Clear choice.
Sorry, couldn’t edit comment
