Have Your Say – Polls
We understand clearly that the only reason for our existence is to represent the voice of the people in our parliament. We believe that any party that is not constantly in touch with the views of the people is simply not doing its job. In this space you can read what others think on key issues, and you can let us know your views.

It's definitely going to be interesting to see "what the PROCESS reveals!"

United Future is a party that is there for the people, to listen and be the voice of mainstream NZ, with the vision of making a brighter future. Evidently other politicians seem to be demonstrating a more self-serving intention. I look forward to an outcome from the SFO on Mr. Peters situation. If he is innocent of all allegations, he might have helped his situation by being more candid and open from the start.
Posted by Kelleigh Sheffield-Cranstoun 2008-08-29 23:32:51.534I am simply embarrassed that a person who is clearly and unequivocally dishonest in his dealings should retain a position of any sort within our parliament.
It is also clear that the rumours that surround his dealings with Fisheries and Racing are more than just minor breaches of party funding but rather serous charges of corrupt gain.
The baubles seem to have been somewhat more enticing than any of us might have imagined.
So on the one hand both the next Government will be looking to the rabid right of Roger Gnome or the criminal right of Me First for its support. Boy, what an invidious choice.
If you are looking for a safe pair of hands that has embodied discretion and integrity through the years, it is hard to look past Peter Dunne.
