The Guts of a Decent Slogan

TV3 has run a slogan competition via its election website. I've collated the ACT-related ones and grouped them into and anti- and pro-ACT categories (in some cases this is hard to tell!). The anti ones are first because there are more of them and they're much funnier.

Anti-ACT:
  • Personal favourite: Vote for ACT: Rodney needs something to do between reality TV gigs.
  • We're going to party like its still 1979
  • action against Winston Peters backfired! but Rodney Hide still thinks he is right...YEAH RIGHT!
  • Personal favourite (this was submitted as applying to all parties; the bad grammar just adds to its "message") DON NOT VOTE IT JUST ENCOURAGES US TO LIE CHEAT AND STEAL YOUR MONEY
  • Colour choices tells a lot. Green is always GO; Yellow caution; we can handle spilled red, but could call a Code Blue.
  • Let us roger you with rodney.
  • Rodney Hide and Roger Douglas - Digging up our past to force feed us our future...
  • Hide-Hi? Ho-de-Ho!
Pro-ACT:
  • Yellow is the new green
  • Act is the Key to the battle with Helengrad
  • I can dance, I can dance, if you give me a chance.
  • Vote for Rodney: ½ the violent criminals off the street ½ the tax ½ the leader he was ACT – Bringing us a healthier NZ.
