Traditionally, the National led government and their propagandists have blamed the Labour party for any problems it’s faced over the last nine years. Obviously they’re just passing the buck... but their brain-dead supporters seem to love it.
However heading into this election that excuse hasn't washed as well, so we’re seeing National try a new type of obfuscation. Instead of simply passing the buck or not being available for comment on tricky issues, they’re claiming complete ignorance.
On Friday, Newshub reported:
The problem for National is that they’ve failed on so many social issues it’s not funny. Bill English is now appearing foolish by trying to come up with remedies to the problems their policies, in most cases, have caused.
It’s no secret that Crosby/Textor was advising John Key during many of National's major scandals over his tenure. But who is advising the National party now? Could it be this guy?

Govt admits it had 'no idea' of emergency housing costs
Deputy Prime Minister Paula Bennett has admitted "in hindsight" the Government's response to the housing crisis has been too slow.
At current spending rates, $50 million of taxpayer money will go to motel owners and other emergency housing providers in just a year.
"We had no idea how much it was going to cost," Ms Bennett told The AM Show on Friday morning.
"We had no idea it would ever be this big. No Government had ever picked up the bill for this. No Government has ever funded emergency housing."
National are also pretending that they aren’t really in power. This seems like a strange position to take being that journalists have been reporting otherwise for the last nine years.
