		<description>After watching the Inside New Zealand Program. I was ashamed to be a Kiwi. At least one Party, is prepared to confront the issues that the Program addressed.
 Good Job.</description>

		<description>Hello

Allliance needs to differentiate between physical disabilities and intellectual learning difficulties for their campaign to have credibility.

If a person has no arm they have a physical impediment and prosthetics can aid in a persons everyday tasks. If a person has a learning difficulty they can have different ways of processing information, this is not a dis-ability. The brain is able to compensate in ways that the physical body is not able to.

Please change your interpretations of what is a dis-ability and what is a difference.

Faithfully
Lana</description>

		<description>Yes, we&#039;re very big on public transport - our policies include &quot;Rebuild the national rail network as part of a publicly operated and integrated transport system that utilises rail capacity and coastal shipping services to reduce road freight.&quot;

For Napier, see http://maryoneillalliancenapiercandidate2011.blogspot.com/ and for the ETS, see http://alliance.org.nz/2009/10/10/alliance-party-says-no-to-ets-but-yes-to-carbon-tax-in-ets-bill-submission/</description>

		<description>Absolutely beautiful policies. Almost utopian but actually very achievable and realistic economically. Why is the Alliance party not in power?</description>

		<description>Just absolutely love these humane, benevolent policies. Why is your party not more prominent and popular? There is a huge potential in the political landscape for  your party. Labour is not much better than National. Its now nothing more than the laissez faire economics and morals party just slightly to the left.</description>

		<description>I really like these tax policies, as I like nearly all of your policies. They are more left but fairer. Particularly I like your capital gains and land tax policy - something has to be done to stem the disproportionately swelling property market.  I would like you to also introduce a policy to stop rapacious residential property investors from claiming so many tax rebates.  But I&#039;m curious for your reasons for bringing back an inheritance tax. I don&#039;t disagree with it but all it does it make the rich hide all their wealth in trusts.</description>
