I think these little Googles show that New Zealand voters, at least those that are motivated to search and find out more about politics, want to be aware of what is going on politically and are not as stupid as politicians from the left think they are.
They want to find out the substance of the politician before they use their valuable vote and that really is important when these people are going to be reaching into your pockets for the next 3 years.
Your vote is important.
