Well done, you have a couple more MPs. However I know it is disappointing you didn't do better. There are some reasons why. 1. It's a recession.

Spotted on the campaign trail in the New Zealand election fun-run (it seems wrong to describe it as a race) - Jeanette Fitzsimons some a) genetically modified pregnant women with a form of gigantism. or b) the smallest politician in the world - perhaps her penchant for green came from being a leprechaun?
