| #8 Yes indeed NZ might go conservative. They do have a crazy electoral system though which I don't pretend to understand. They did go free market under the Labour party government in the 1980's as a result of a push by their finance minister Roger Douglas. I don't think they had much choice but NZ still looks too regulated to me. I've got a dog in this hunt as my lovely wife hails from NZ and has 7 siblings there. |

| #7 Is New Zealand likely to go Conservative in their election? Surely they wouldn't upset my preconceptions like that! Back in the 80's, New Zealand was arguably more free market oriented than Reagan/Thatcher. |

| #4 I'm a bit sheepish about the possibility of a conservative Kiwi government at the moment. Your longstanding, and I might add quite accurate perconceptions remain sound TW. |

| #1 Upcoming in 2 years and 2 months if on schedule. He might go earlier if there's an advantage to be had. New Zealand has the shortly upcoming elections. |
