Labour has no choice but to go negative
Generally an incumbent Government will campaign on a mixture of two things, to try and get re-elected. They are:
- Their successful record to date
- Their policies for the future
The problem Labour has is it has almost none of either. The vast majority of NZers think NZ is heading the wrong direction and our health, criminal justice and education systems are worse than three years ago.
And their main policy for the future is to knock around $1.50 a week off the cost of fruit and vegetables.
So having no record and few policies to campaign on, they have no choice but to go negative and try and scaremonger about a change of Government.
