I can't help but get the "wolf in sheep's clothing" vibe from National this time around. It's obvious that they're trying to decrease the impact from the voter groups that Labour seems to mobilise when they're down in the polls. Students (interest free loans), families (WFF), beneficiaries (income related rents) etc... Basically they're taking away reasons not to vote for them. The next question is how they plan to afford maintaining the status quo and deliver their giant tax cuts as well... Yes – it’s definitely interesting.

It seems he (probably quite rightly) is working on the assumption that people are getting tired of the current government and want change, and he wants to avoid putting them off by extreme right wing policies like they were in the last election. So the solution is to be Labour painted blue. Indeed.
