Bribe-o-meter update
The latest costing of parties spending pledges:
- NZ First $23 billion or $13,324/household
- Labour $19.4 billion or $11,242/household
- Maori Party $12.1 billion or $7,060/household
- TOP $10.7 billion or $6,199/household
- Greens $8.5 billion or $4,939/household
- National $6.8 billion or $3,920/household
- ACT -$5.4 billion or -$3,103/household
So if you had a Labour/NZ First Government where says Labour gets 90% of their spending and NZ First gets 50%, the cost per househould would be almost $17,000 over the next three years.
They have also given each party a transparency rating for providing enough detail to allow the policiesto be costed. The ratings are:
- 5 stars – Greens, National
- 4 stars – Labour, TOP
- 3 stars – ACT
- 1 star – Maori Party
- 0 stars – NZ First
