The latest poll conducted by WednesdayBusk shows that none of the current parties aiming for your vote will win this year’s election.

When asked about this startling result, John Key said he was sorry he couldn’t remember, David Cunliffe said it was a delaying tactic, Russel Norman and Meteria Turei said Frack off, Peter Dunn said he had nothing to say, Te Ururoa Flavell said Kia ora, Hone Harawira said I have the hearts and minds of the people, Laila Harré said she she’d be guided by how much Mr Dotcom offered per word, Colin Craig said he would pray to a Higher Power (Telecom?), and a little girl eating an ice-cream said don’t tell Mum.

This state of affairs means that come that certain date in September (no-one could remember it) there will be no government.

It is estimated by our resident expert on finance that this will save the country millions and millions of dollars. There will be no salaries to pay, no travel, no nights in expensive hotels, no perks. Auckland will stop and the rest of the country won’t notice.

They will sit down, have a cup of tea and an Anzac biscuit, and all will be well.
