Campaign meeting
Tonight I was at a campaign and candidate meeting at the ACT office in Newmarket. There were approximately 25 candidates/campaign people, a couple of fundraisers and Muriel was there too.
The mood was somewhat electric.
It was also very optimistic.
Okay, ACT might be down a little in the polls, but we have been there before - in fact every time since 1996! We started off the 1996 campaign at 1.5% and got close to 6%! People wrote us off then, 1999 & 2002. They are doing it now too. *Sigh*
ACT is in very good heart, let me reassure you. We will give as good as we get this election and some. I have said this before and I will keep saying it. You write off ACT at your peril. This election will see swinging and tooing and froing like never before. It won't be over until polling day and ACT will be there charging right to the bitter end.
Remember this too. Only a party vote for ACT will ensure a change of government. You know who ACT will support in government. To keep Winston toward the centre (where he thinks the votes are) he will go with Labour. After all, to go with the Gnats again would label him as a Tory through and through. Nothing more. Nothing less. And he won't want that.
