To take it into account would be to subvert the electoral process. There's only one time when you get personal input into Government policy and that's at an election. If the National Government were to change its asset-sales position now, in the middle of a term, that would be tantamount to saying "we lied before the election". Right now National is doing what it said before the election that it would do if it were elected. It can't start doing the EXACT OPPOSITE of what it said it would do if it were elected.
