Cash for Policies

I think Helen and co have managed to insert the phrase “cash for policies” into question time around 35 times so far.

The fact that this is a charge without even a sherrick of evidence, seems to have escaped the Labour Brains Trust. Just repeating it 35 times will not make it true. I mean the media are not that stupid. And lets face it if there was any evidence of a party selling policies for cash, the media would be leading the charge with investigating it.

Labour has a history of just fabricating allegations and expecting them to be reported as fact. The allegations against Field came not from National but from dozens of different people in the community. The issue of the pledge cards is based on written letters and reports from the electoral authorities, the Police and the Auditor-General.

This nonsense about “cash for policies” is quite literally a fabrication. It goes back to Labour’s culture of entitlement. If you interfere with their “entitlements” they have a hissy fit and invent things to throw back at you.

Not that I’m really complaining. It just makes them look pathethic.
