that's a false parable. you are assuming that everyone born each day does not have access to clean water.
"But now, for a one glorious week, Nat MPs are somewhat relevant. They get to vote on the new leader. (Sorry Nat members – you remain completely irrelevant – no vote for you – though National is happy to keep taking your money – ka-ching!)" hahaha, righto....
Just refresh my memory Marcus. what year was it that a John Key led National Government sold a minority stake in the Insurance companies the state used to own?
300k children in poverty? where are the armies of beggars? that's close to 8% of the total population just in one age bracket. Honestly, don't believe everything you read on the internet. 40,000 homeless? i know where you got the figure from, according to ...
But "going further left" as a concept to win elections is somehow logical. go figure.
and National is in government and caning it in the polls. So the electorate is getting it from National. From the sounds they're making the quite like what they're getting. That's ok, don't be a broad church, don't win elections. Honestly, no one cares.
Labour haven't held the National government to account for much in the last 9 years. Labour aren't an effective opposition, it's why they aren't seen as being ready for government.
Yawn, still fighting 2012's battles?
Lower turnouts favour the national party. are you saying 23% might be an overstatement of labours support?
An election was fought with asset sales as a major issue. The party proposing to sell the assets won the election. How can you then claim they went against the wishes of the people. Not voting is a tacit acceptance of the policies of the party that ...
And you are blind to the modern realities of MMP politics. MMP was supposed to help the left as apparently the left are progressive and modern and will make the most of it. It's just kind of came along and fucked the left up, as if you don't know how to ...
Can just imagine parliamentary labour coming down on the labour wellington election committee meeting, "Hi Team, as we are the best labour has to offer here is what we say. Justin stands, everyone else stands aside. If you don't like it, you aren't true ...
it's the slowest drop in the history of politics. The trend line that shows you that John Key's personal pm preference ratings as dropping, also shows that he'll be in power for two more elections. He'll be at about 30% by the election next year. andrew ...
Phil Twyford shopped a story to a supposedly friendly journo, then got all stroppy with her when she didn't run it a shopped and miraculously labour supportive commenters on blogs and social media attacked said supposedly friendly Journo. Attacked for ...
Phil twyford losing it Andrea Vance because she didn't run the story as he had shopped to her in their one-to-one meeting.
And yet you stand against charter schools who ask for no "compulsory" donations? the paradoxical abuse that emanates from you is astounding.
outraged at the result of an election. a continuation of the cause that won donald trump the presidency. Well shit, by all means, keep it up. it's obviously working
oh poor wee dear. Are your ears to sensitive to hear words you don't agree with? is this your safe space? It's people like you who have allowed trump to prosper. Insulting someone and belittling them for having an opinion different to yours won't make them...
You are just assuming she used her "feminine wiles", in a male the same action is called charm. charm is hardly a pejorative, misogynistic term, especially when compared to "feminine wiles". Aren't females allowed to charm people without it being put down ...
hahahahahaha if that's it then labour deserve to lose. that is absolutely pathetic
and when they don't accept and question what they're told they should be attacked? This pointless attack on the media for asking for clarification and questioning the detail just gives the media credit for doing their job.
what is labours comms strategy? surely that must be the basis by which every policy is announced?
Are you really a women? you seem to hate any successful woman who has succeeded in her job? "feminine wiles" is an extremely sexist and misogynistic statement implying women can only extract information if someone is sexually attracted to them.
50% underestimated is a pretty big straw. How much is 3 years free tertiary education going to cost the country if it's cost is 50% underestimated?
Ah right so costing policies properly is a skill that should be ignored because labour came up with policy. I must have forgotten that shortcut in my basic managment of the economy for prospective governments foundation paper
What is so stupid about current labour and it's policies is that they can't see past the traditional model of implementation, tax, or the grounds for them, socialism. Instead of taking two mediocre and individually rather useless, if not punititve policies...
Doesn't it get boring being a broken record? aren't you sick of promoting an ideology and way of government that has been proven to not work over and over and over again? I bet if you get your way you'll find some other cart of misery to hitch yourself too...
There is an also an estimate of $7bn of wasteful welfare spending. We could start with that, the government actually controls welfare spending.
Missed the last three campaigns?
What if the watered down version is more palatable to New Zealand voters than the full strength version? whose version is then correct?
oooooh, you got me. OMG i'm sprung. You've completely missed the point of my comment. I meant to point out it is the governments version of a policy. just as labours is a labour version of a policy. Do you honestly believe labour came up with all that on ...
