Roadside Poll: People 1 – Labour 0

In her speech to a journalism conference  last year Helen Clark talked about seminal events.

Today’s truckers’ protest will be one in the life, or perhaps that should be death, of this Government.

Its significance is not in the protest itself, but in the widespread support for it by the general public.

The people watching and cheering provided a roadside poll which is saying loud and clear that they are mad and they’ll use the election to get even.
