Interestingly a pledge card to help fund the Darnton v Clark lawsuit has sold for $700.
A taste of the questions,
Wow, i am really interested in this piece. You don’t happen to have one of Winston’s illegal items for sale as well do you?
No. Winston’s last election pamphlet looked a bit creepy and I didn’t want it in the house.
Are these the same tired old promises, and are these pledges ever likely to be fulfilled?
The promises are not worth the paper they’re printed on. Rest assured though that the paper they’re printed on was very expensive.
Do the pleges work? I have heared this descibed by people as electioneering
The only people who have described this as electioneering are the Chief Electoral Officer, Wellington District CIB, the former Solicitor-General, the Auditor-General, and Pete Hodgson.
The money, as said, goes to the Darnton v Clark lawsuit. Bernard Darnton is the leader of the Libertarianz party, and taking Helen Clark to court over the illegal use of parliamentary funds (which has just recently been made legal with a bill shoved under urgency - yay for open and free democracies!).
David Farrar has said that there was also another pledge card up for sale to help fund the Labour whip-round. It only accrued $30.
