Labour pledge Universal Student Allowance.
Interpreted as many as an “Election Bribe”.
Is it still a bribe if National adopt the policy (as they did with interest free student loans)?
If the main complaint is that “lower paid will end up subsidising the rich”, what do they call National’s plan to double the government funding towards private education institutes?

Bribe: something that serves to induce or influence.
If National did it now… only a few months before the election… then yes I would still consider it a bribe.

Of course, you weren’t the only one to present that point of view to me. Having a rational mind makes a difference!

Ah, that’ll be why National isn’t doing the whole policy detail thing this election – any detail would be a bribe and we all know they don’t do bribes on that side of the House
