No it's not me. All stated here is opinion, as is mine. Difference between you and me is, I can accept someone may have a different opinion to me. I will just restate mine or try to enhance. You there, don't really handle that well. But that's OK. PS- I ...
Even gives an opinion and you go straight to attacking him personally. Maybe get a job, it will enhance you with perspective. [lprent: Her comment was valid, sarcastic, picked a profession where the practice does happen, and well within the robust rule. ...
My wife works retail. They don't take standard breaks, they have theirs during the less busy times, so not to leave reduced staff when they are flat out. This is how us in the working world work. By getting the job done.
This is just really confirming, what most workplaces do. We, in the dairy industry have always organised breaks around keeping our machines running. Is no reason to freak out.
Clinging to the thought that KDC was the reason National cleaned up, is a tad optimistic. If DC does get the job again, do you think he can get the support from caucus. And if he had the support, do you think, as the face of Labour again, he can win enough...
Yep he did win in the debates. But people didn't vote for him. Lost the party vote on his home patch. Will be the same again with DC. Right wing, won't be worried about DCs chances against Key. And deep down you know that.
+1
+1 I just find it odd. I don't know DC, or any MP for that matter I would guess he is a well decent bloke. But if the general voting mass just don't like him, then no amount of thinking he is the "true" leader is going to change the election result. It's ...
So equalling a slightly less rubbish result, would have been a success?
Just because you wanted him to be PM so bad, doesn't mean jack. He just didn't have "it". For what ever reason, he didn't appeal. And get over the MSM whinge. If you haven't got the balls to deal with it, then get another job. With DC in charge, the polls ...
It's not my mode. Is just the way it is. Hope you have a pleasant weekend! PS- It does show a bit that you can't argue your point.
Thank you! At last a reason! He sure has ground to make up. You would like to think, if he did he would get full support. Single minded direction and support must be a conclusion to Labours election review.
National did it after 2002, no reason to see why Labour can't do the same.
I'm not a troll. As I'm on a PC, I can quickly research a few facts and figures. I don't claim any deep knowledge. And that is sort of my point. I would like to hear some opinions on Cunliffes chances of winning 2017. Only really got grumpy replies.
it might be a bit stink, but the cult of the leader is true. I didn't make it that way, but even I can see that. I can see my position is unpopular here. How much effect do you think a popular or unpopular leader makes? I think it is significant. And do ...
History. Helen Clarke didn't win in 1996, but Labour wasn't far off. NZF decided the government. She came through in 1999. But not from 12% personal ranking In 2002 Bill English, was as popular as cold sick and National was lucky to hit 20%. He was ...
But if the goal is to win an election, then support for John Key for National party members is the best way to win another. Popular leaders win elections.
Do you think Labour can win in 2017 with Cunliffe at the wheel? Can he appeal to the same public, that he didn't appeal too this year? For the average Joe, their opinion of the leaders has much more of an influence on their decision than the more informed ...
I have voted both ways. Yes, national this time. But from the point of view of someone who doesn't get that interested apart from the few weeks around the election, even I know the fickle public- and I could be classed as that, didn't warm to him. I'm not ...
He may have done a good job, but the result was rubbish. He may have given it his best shot, but if the public think the leader is rubbish then his mob don't win. And the public thought he was rubbish, as the PM polls showed, again and again. If the labour...
Good valid points. And you will convince many people on this site along with a good % of the party faithful. But the general public won't be electing a Cunliffe led Labour government. That's my point, looking at a Labour party leader , from the point of ...
Cunliffe, suffered from a very basic and fundamental problem IMO. A large part of the caucus wanted to win the election and govern. They knew and still know Cunliffe will never deliver that. And they were right and still are right. I'm not sure who is best...
Except, most of the Labour MPs are elected, not off the list. With that strategy, Labour would be in a battle to hit the 5% threshold!
You're so polite with your "stinging" retorts! PS- Did you have a look at the link? Bribe-o-meter through the roof!
Always nice of you to enquire after me....
Looks like us taxpayers should all be thankful for the election result. A green/labour government would have cost 5 times as much! Add to that, the fact they can't seem to manage themselves, we really dodged a bullet. I guess that's way the numbers played ...
Sorry I stand corrected. Rates did drop, but not a whole bunch. http://thedailyblog.co.nz/2013/04/19/the-true-horrifying-depths-of-nz-child-poverty/#!prettyPhoto
Don't remove the choice to purchase or drink the stuff, just regulate it in proportion to the risks it presents.
Cheers. I don't want to ban alcohol, but would like to see it treated with far more caution. Successive governments have rolled over in front of the powerful international alcohol companies.
No overall poverty rose, despite some good policy implemented.
I'm sure we will see some initiatives come out in the next few months. What all need to accept is all MPs and all parties take this seriously. Child poverty isn't something that has happened just now under national. It grew under Helen Clarkes watch ...
