Didn't work tho, did it, MS. They all hated him. A bit of the tall poppy syndrome there. Will they all hate the new leader, whoever it is ? Maybe not, because all of them are a bit mediocre and no tall poppies among them. So they'll all quieten down, and ...
Again 100% PU
+ 100% Phil U
Yeah - a great pair of egoists !
When the heck did Cunliffe promote Cosgrove, BoLaptop ? And to call Sepuloni mediocre against Ardern who has ONLY ever held down political jobs from her friends is ignorant to say the least.
And Rod Oram also had a good article in the SST on a similar theme. Sorry I can't put a link to it because I can't find it via my computer - had someone send it to me. Here's the first part of what he said : " Is free and rigorous debate increasingly ...
I'm finding it difficult to emphathise with Not Kidding's story of poverty when young. I'm not young any more either. And the rural community where I grew up in the early 1950s had lots of old wooden houses which leaked, or fibrolite-built houses which ...
Hang on Odysseus - Parker is now saying maybe the raising-super-age policy was a mistake but he NEVER took any notices of his LP members saying this, and Mr Shearer - he was on the Nation the other day saying something along the lines that the members ...
Hugely agree, Heather - + 1000%
As a member of the Labour Party, I'm very frustrated that finally Parker is acknowledging that maybe his raising-age-of-super policy is not correct because the voters said so. Many members of the Labour Party have been telling him this for the last six ...
Good on you, Vaughan Little for your liberal convictions despite your Christianity - but Robertson hasn't shown much empathy for those fighting for protecting the environment, and that's not left. That's right wing. What you described about what Robertson ...
Now that I've re-read AA Milne - Yep ! I agree PS Shark S - that's a lovely start to the day ...... quite cheering after reading dismal MSM news ! Thanks Sir B too.
boldsirbrian - this is way off subject, but why do you have Mr.Botany(B) at the end of your posts ?
Yes - I've heard similar stories, Tiger Mountain. Racism is well and truly embedded in this country and it comes out like these instances you mention at election time. That's why Hone put forward the request for a recount - to try and highlight these ...
Yeah right, Heather ! I just cannot watch TV anymore, nor read much of the papers ! We can expect more awful things to happen as we watch our country being sold, or going down the drain ..... and too many of our people with it. Depressing stuff !
What I haven't heard yet : what were the grounds/reasons for Nicky Hager's house and computer searched for ? Didn't Slater withdraw his complaint/charge ? Can someone enlighten me please.
Ditto GH - thanks BLiP ! Scarey stuff. Seems its okay for the cops to be bullies, or incompetent at their jobs, and no-one takes any notice. And I do hope - Mickey S - that someone does lay a private prosecution re the Labour computer hack. Something needs...
Me too CV re TTT and did you notice that NZ First's Party vote in TTT for 2014 is almost twice that in 2008. Was THAT why Winston gave the nod to Kelvin Davis ? a deal ? ? ?
Why does everyone focus on Ardern as the girl to be at the top ? WHY is she near the top of the List ? I'm really puzzled by this : Ardern doesn't seem to me to have enough of the gutsiness needed to be a leader (or even a deputy leader). What has she done...
Its very difficult to un-select a sitting MP, Weka. It rarely (if ever) happens. Putting the neolibs on the back bench won't stop them leaking .... they're experts at leaks. The neo-libs don't want the Party to move left, or even centre left. They're ...
Yep - I would agree, Draco.
+100% PU
to Phillip Ure - the answer is NO.
I agree with you Craig GE - unfortunately there are still too many old Rogernomes in the caucus and they're not listening to the Labour members. And they're too swayed by the rainbow element to think rationally and about the ordinary Nzer and Labour voter....
And will Labour's turn-out-the-vote strategy make a difference this time ? Fingers crossed.
You would think that once bitten, twice shy ! Its incredible that its happened again.
Did anyone else notice John Key saying that a party with the most votes (ie National) could govern as a minority government if other parties decided to support such a type of govt. ie other parties eg NZ First would be prepared to support the Nats as a ...
Here's a link to a Herald poll re Cunliffe/Key debate - who do you think impressed the most ? Worth doing straightaway. http://www.nzherald.co.nz/election-2014/news/article.cfm?c_id=1503581&objectid=11322168
I don't think Key fired at all tonight. He's looking tired. He's a bit gabby but what he says is meaningless. David Cunliffe is the one with the eloquence and the reality. Great stuff DC on TV3 debate tonight. I can't stand Paul Henry so am not watching ...
And one other thing - the audience onside - just - with Cunliffe/Labour's policies ! Wowee .....
YES ! Cunliffe by a long shot. Key just robotic, spouting beaucratise. Cunliffe using REAL words to describe REAL life events - and I love his four main priorities. Got them on tape - can't remember them all off hand - but abatement rate to $150 for ...
