Hmmmm I'd like to think so but my pick is a National/NZFirst government.
That could also be a reference to Labours repeated change in leadership.....
Yet more stupidity and the real insult is Wellingtonians like myself have to pay for it.....
Well said. Just look at Sydney if you want an idea of what a joke capital gains taxes are.
Seems the Greens like the idea of being in opposition. Lots of mum and dad investors have property (including myself ) we worked damned hard to get faced with exaggerated property prices compliments of governmental incompetence. Now we are expected to pay ...

Yeah blood is measurable definitive polls as the most recent article on this site proves are anything but......
Poor National probably need all the help they can get.....
Surprise, surprise....who would have guessed....LOL Got to be careful about taking the McMedia too seriously people.....
I would take these polls with a grain of salt. I would guess the Greens support is substantially better than this and polls only prove that small samples deliver "small opinions". I'm not a Greens supporter but I do wish them well and hope for a change ...
In my opinion its starting to sound a little like the nonsense coming out of the USA blaming the Russian's for everything from election failures/successes to stubbed toes.......
So true +1.
The healthcare and so called welfare system are geared in such a way as to often force people be economic with facts simply so they can get the help they desperately need. The witch hunt into the Greens co-leader disgusts me and its interesting timing too....
What would I find inspiring, that's a big question Weka and I don't have the time to answer it at length. What I would like to see is more of a focus on how to solve immediate environmental issues. In particular tackling issues surrounding factory farming ...
The issue for many like myself isn't gender its "competence" and so far Labour don't look too appealing. At least not to me. Its all very well to change leaders but as they should have worked out by now but for some reason haven't is people want good ...
There seems to be an assumption that NZ First attracts right wing voters. I know a few who vote that way (now myself included) and many of them are ex Labour. Sick and tired of their "Blairite" attitudes and seeming inability to correct the 80's shift to ...
Trump was a vote against the establishment. Ironic I know but then look at what the Dems stood for (in my opinion rampant neo liberalism) and its not hard to see why. I suspect the disillusioned on the left and right will move to NZ First or maybe just ...
Sensible argument. I have had doubts about Labour for a lot longer myself but for much the same reasons. That said I'm disappointed by the Greens lack of direction of late so I'm moving on to NZ First. I do not think the left such as it is can win this ...
I'm typically a Green voter but I have seen little from them lately that inspires me. There's lots of talk but I have not seen much in the way of practical policy. I feel no more hope this election than any that have gone before and wonder if we need a ...
So true. In my view this looks like a lack of unity and I wonder if others will feel the same. Also concerned by Labours lack of strong comment over key issues like TPPA when other parties such as NZ First are all over it.
Good luck Labour but my prediction and I take zero joy in saying this is National will win again and things will go from bad to worse.
In my opinion the problem isn't who heads up the FBI , its the FBI itself. What it does (and fails to do) and what it stands for (and what it should stand for).
In my opinion SK (like Japan) is another US enclave. I would say making meaningful change there especially in areas of surveillance, etc, would be far from easy given the US's propensity for meddling. Lets revisit in a year or so and see how many of the ...
Yes a centrist ex banker won in France.....As to Trudeau...is that the same same guy who likes the Keystone XL pipeline project.....?
I'm no fan of National but there's a reasonable point being made here. Finding a park for the car in Wellington can best be described as a nightmare at times. There are places for cyclists which I applaud but there are often too few places to park, ...
The MSM call out a neo con corporati government? My what a sense of humour.......
The Australians had the right idea and it has worked. Limit those who are not citizens to buy new builds not existing property. By contrast the Natwits made it harder for locals to buy whilst making no harder for rich foreign investors. The question is can...
Labour needs to accept the MSM are not on their side but a bigger issue I feel is their inability to act like a Labour party. Talking about making voting compulsory and watering down the ugly 90 day law really looks a lot to me at leas, like right wing 2.0...
MAKE SURE THE TOXIC TPPA STAYS DEAD https://our.actionstation.org.nz/petitions/the-tppa-is-dead-keep-it-that-way
The problem with the current crop of political parties is the same one the US voters face. Its not picking a good party is making the best of what you have and whats on offer is none too inspiring.
Superb piece from John Pilger..... https://www.rt.com/news/366371-pilger-trump-clinton-liberals/
