...and I'm happy about that. I believe the National/United Future/ACT coalition can enable the rest of us to do great things.
Yet I'm a skeptical supporter, one who has met a few National Party people and not liked the slightly elitist vibe I felt. Under other circumstances, I might have supported Labour, if it wasn't for their radical social agenda, and my observations that the best way to truly help people don't come from centralised government planning, but from entrepreneurial individuals.
So, as I tweeted, I look on this new government with hope, but not Obama-style hope. I hope they don't stuff it up. I hope they don't stick to traditional party lines and start thinking about this new world we're in, the way every person and every business has to. I hope we can fulfil the promise implicit in John Key's speech, that we can all achieve our potential.
More thoughts to come, I'm sure.
