Excellent post.
Rarely. But not from right-right libertarianism to left wing socialism. And not overnight.
Feel a bit sorry for Laila Harre. But personally I hope this is the beginning of the end of the Internet Party. KDC is as repugnant as Key. He's damaged the left and has buried Mana. I knew the minute Hone took the deal he was sunk. How can anyone on the ...
History shows that - tragically - floating voters vote for personality over policy. We're talking about the most politically illiterate portion of the voting electorate. These are the people who need to be wooed to swing an election. My constituency is the...
Well, as someone who's worked in communications for the last 27 years I would have to politely disagree :) I sincerely hope I'm proved wrong though.
"what gave you the idea that Key has communication skills?" The fact that the huge swathe of politically illiterate fools we call floating voters were suckered in by them and went out and voted for the f*cker. These are the people Andrew Little has to win ...
I did not CALL him any of those things. I said that because of his communication style, the media will easily be able to "make him look" confused and insincere". But now that Little has been elected, I am going to support him 100% in his bid to oust ...
Yes Anne. I would. But I'm just one bloke. Why the sarcasm?
Blip, IF you're referring to me, you're wrong. I'm not a 'concern troll' I'm a Labour Party member who cares with a passion about National being removed from government and Labour getting to make policy. For the third time . . . though I did not vote for ...
Sorry Chooky, that interview just confirms everything I already felt about Andrew Little's style under questioning. He's good when he's speaking on his own set agenda, particularly on policy detail, but when he gets asked questions that he should deflect ...
I don't feel hard done by at all Sabine, because my personal preference is irrelevant. All that counts is the outcome. As you also point out. Perhaps you didn't read the bit where I said: "the ONLY option for those of us who voted for someone else is too ...
The majority of both the Party membership and Caucus chose the Robertson path. Only the Unions chose Little. 20% of the college got their man, despite 80% of it selecting Robertson. I gave Little my 4th spot because I believe him to be such a poor ...
I'm not voting till after the hustings either. I too see considerable qualities in all the candidates, and issues with each too. Judging by the comments here, Little and Mahuta seem to be the members favourites. I hope for the party this proves to be wrong...
I wonder... do we have a cohort of members who are: A. Prepared to vote for the candidate they think will do the best job of winning back voters, while; B. Not venomously slagging off the other candidates? It would be nice to think so. Less fuel for the ...
National successfully distilled their message (lies) down to one single word during the election: "stability". Labour countered with a hodgepodge message and no singleminded core proposition. I believe we could have, and should distill everything we stand ...
In fact NZ has numerous (just taking Auckland as an example) companies with innocuous names that have overseas investors and directors taking profits from 'property development: Tuen Yee Hung of Hong Kong, is a director of Colwall Property Developers, and ...
This about any pre-election deals from NZF. No pre-election deals, no nudge-nudge, wink-wink political horse trading before you the voter have spoken. Those who argue for pre-election deals are trying to weaken your vote. They seek to marginalize your ...
sarge , is just like the majority of human beings ,he cares for only one thing and one thing only -himself!
unfortunately they will get in next election ,they really are screwing our country ..privatise prisons ,the eye on insurance for welfare ,minining in our nat parks ,and more short sighted policies designed to ass lick big business and the rich! boot them ...
wasnt this person and that other young guy john into animal rights ,why cause hop all the time ..personally im committed to only one cause ..most on the left dont careabout animals anyway
Hey Steve It's great to see some genuinely positive coverage of what was supposed to be a positive thing. I am saddened by how cynical the media coverage of the event was. As a parent I want Remy to be in a better position I was and thats why we are doing ...
