Weka keeps banning anyone who dissents. What a surprise. [You seem pretty keen on getting banned, so I've just doubled your ban in the other thread for telling lies about moderation. - weka] [TheStandard: A moderator moved this comment to Open Mike as ...
What a disgrace. This could bring down the government, as the media are really digging. Alcohol and minors. No parents told about anything, police not involved. There will be resignations over this and possibly a snap election. Winston must be outraged. I ...
Oh dear, a scandal has broken. Surprise surprise. National would never stoop this low, and they would not hide it from the public and police. Always different when the left do it. [if you use this as an excuse to bash Labour or the left, you can expect to ...
Chosen by Peters, you mean, rather than the voters. PM by default, not by election and not by endorsement. Selected. Course, the truth hurts. No wonder she doesn't actually talk about policy, ever. Just a celebrity face, while the strings are pulled from ...
Bill English is gone from the political landscape, and still commenters here knock him. Move on. Sad.
But NZ First won't be there next time, and their new deputy leader will not save them. Toast. So yep, quite on the cards National will win an outright majority. Sooo can't wait to see a real election again.
Nope, they won't risk that seat going to the Greens or Labour. Bet he stays.
They are far better at economic management than Labour. Huge surplus, no debt, less taxes, full employment. Now all being undone by Labour and co, who only love to spend other people's money. No wonder Lab can't win an actual election. Still, Cullen is ...
Cullen, unelected, is out there scaring the electorate with his rhetoric of lets tax everything. Not to worry, the CoL will be kicked to touch come 2020, and Winston won't be able to save them twice. So can't wait to see natural justice restored. ...
Money like confetti, the appointed one goes out of her way to help anyone but Kiwis.
No, Ardern said she would only front on ZB if the questions were about the Pacific only, and Kelvin Davis said he would only front if he had the questions first. Looks very controlling, and not at all 'open and transparent'. Maybe because there is no ...
With NZ First at three percent of the vote, and the Greens only on five percent, next election could be any ones. It will be a drag race of FPP style, with only four contenders, if that. So don't count your chickens yet. Also, already the govt is not ...
I totally agree. Especially about English being betrayed, both by a flawed system and Winnie the Pooh. Along with the majority of voters! But yes, Simon is doing a great job, and English was fabulous in getting over such a huge betrayal and voter-given ...
The public will heartily be sick of Ardern constantly playing to the cameras as though she is some sort of film star. Read the comments on ZB's or Stuff's site's yet? Going by many of them, they already are. Wait also, till the public are less than amused ...
If he gave a million dollars to the homeless, you would all still find fault, same with the complicit and Labour based MSM. Labour had the msm on side all through the election too, but the Nats still easily won the most votes! The public can see through ...
He has had a brilliant first week, has taken the eternal spotlight off the camera-mad Ardern. Go Simon. Awesome in the House also, much more fiery than English was. Also, may I add, Melissa Lee is doing an awesome job at Question Time, despite Mallard's ...
No worse than the woman child we currently have as PM, who is all about herself, her partner, her houses and her photoshoots. When does she get time to do the job she is actually paid huge bucks to do?? Such a pretender for the job she said she didn't want...
Cindy's mob will fall over before the next election, more likely. National won't have a bar of NZ First, and NZ First will be at three percent or less, anyway. Roll on next election, FPP in all but name.
Yes, but the wider electorate will lap him up, and that is what counts. Who cares what Slater says, he is a National party hater, and makes English out to be some sort of demon. Utterly ridiculous. I note there are never any disparaging posts about NZ ...
He mostly looked grumpy though. After all, Bridges won the Tauranga seat from him, as National won back their Northland seat. Is Labour gonna gift him a seat??
He is a lawyer too, that can't hurt. Great CV outside of Parliament, and best of all, won his seat, easily, back in the day, from Winston. So a male/female team, which is a good contrast to Stardust and co. Winston looked unhappy today in the House. ...
Awesome result, I bet Labour will be very worried. First Maori leader. Well done National, see you in govt soon!
Dream on.
Very excitable people here. Funny really. So, no one cares about the victims it seems, just the violent thugs. Sad!
At least he stands up for women's rights and doesn't cave in like the Green MP did, as Minister For Women. Shameful. So much for equality Goliz.
So, it's okay to have violent criminals on our streets, creating more victims, just so that Labour can look soft on crims. What about the victims? What about the parents and families of victims, and what about a safe community for all? How would you feel ...
Yes, but at least being locked up stops the violent criminal from harming/maiming/killing another innocent victim. From a friend's personal experience, I know how hard it is in NZ to actually get locked up anyway. Some criminals have eighty convictions or ...
So, he is going to go soft on crime, which means more murder and mayhem on our streets, with whole communities at risk. Crime in NZ is already high, why make it all easier. I can't imagine NZ First agreeing, nor the majority of the NZ public. But hey, he ...
Labour limped to the 'win' simply because Winstone defied MMP convention (going with party with the most votes) and gifted it to them, not for the good of NZ, but so he could finally realise his dream of being PM, which National would never have agreed to,...
I suspect also that Helen is also running the agenda for Ardern. Labour is clearly scared of National's refresh and change, especially as Labour's support partners have sunk from view in the polls, including the Greens. FPP next time! Kingmaker dumped, ...
oh, dear, how sad. More backtracking and backflips. Gotta love this govt tho..
