I think it's great that National has a working relationship with United Future. I would like to make a comment about incoming splitting. It isn't about tax cuts so much as making an incentive to make marriages and families last. Labour has been legislating incentives for ages. Incentives for crime, laziness, and dysfunctional relationships. Incentives for women to have children with many different men and know that the government will finance that kind of lifestyle. I think incoming splitting is an incentive for trying to make relationships work. Sometimes relationships are delicate and sometimes money can be the last straw to break up a relationship. Incoming splitting represents everything that Labour isn't. It would make me very happy to see it come into reality.
