Well everyone is a little doomsday about the election. Am I the only one that doesn't think it is that bad? Ok sure the Christian vote seemed to mostly go to National who didn't get in (only by one seat mind you) and it looks like another Labour/Greens government. BUT lets look on the bright side of life:

1. Labour pretty much has the same amount of support BUT National is a bigger and hopefully more moral force.
2. The greens are in BUT have lost support and Nandor Tanzcos has gone and therefore the legalising of cannabis won't be such a huge issue
3. The government really needs United Future's support which will only be given on the basis that hate speech legislation won't be passed and the families commission stays.
4. The government also needs NZ First who are also traditionally fairly morally conservative.

I could be wrong but we may not see such dodgy legislation in this term simply because the government doesn't have the numbers or the mandate from the people.

We need some good news! Stay tuned ;)
