National's 2008 Election Policy

All Portfolios

In contrast to Labour, National have a long list of new 2008 policy with more to be announced as we come closer to the 2008 election. Of special interest will be the tax cuts policy released in a couple of weeks.

There really is alot more upfront stuff here with a more reasonable approach to taxpayer cost and definitely less social meddling by the government in our lives.
