Description: An enormously fat man representing 'politics' says 'Forward to enlightened democracy' as he sits on the shoulders of a second man who represents 'MMP credibility' and who is almost submerged as they wade across a river. A newspaper on the bank reads 'ACT helps Nats by not standing in another two marginal seats'. Context: refers to the 2011 election in which there will also be a referendum about the preferred voting system - MMP, first past the post and variations of MMP. The two 'marginal seats' that ACT will not stand a candidate in are New Plymouth and Waimakariri, to increase National's chances of winning them. MMP allows this sort of deal-broking to happen.

Description: Shows a cup of tea, into which a life belt that has failed to save a drowning man, has been tossed by the National Party.

The tea cup probably refers to the 'Tea party' affair when Prime Minister John Key slipped up badly in a staged event that was intended to show that he was backing ACT leader John Banks' candidacy in the Epson by-election.
