I'll say this about your New Zealand First voter: they're straight up and down.
I am receiving large levels of correspondence, and I am not the only one, from people saying they are embarrassed or ashamed that they voted New Zealand First.
They feel duped, ripped off, if not hoodwinked.
And it's the foreign aid package that's tipped them over the edge.
First issue, and to be blunt, it wasn't as though a lot of us didn't warn them, but the first bit was when Winston Peters chose Labour.
A chunk of the New Zealand First vote was to allegedly keep National honest. The theory being, and in normal circumstances under regular rules there was logic, that National would be picked because Winston had picked them before and fundamentally he's a conservative.
