But I would like to say: "Is making it better for one group, always making it worse for another?" No, absolutely not. The health service, for instance, helps the sick become productive members of society - helping both the sick people themselves and society at large. A functioning employment service does the same. Finding these win/win investments and making them on behalf of the people is the primary job of government. A shame, then, that they do it so rarely.

No I have been happily working with the National Party for a while, I think it's been more triggered by a number of conversations with friends and events I've been to that made me question why people believe what they do and how that impacts everything. And also, apparently when I can't get to sleep, I start pondering the meaning of life. This is usually why I keep myself occupied right up until I fall asleep! :) Ha ha, you’d think so wouldn’t you?
