Guess they'll have to call it "Two-Faced-Book" from now on... (Ka-thump)
Just like The Beatles did on the Sergeant Pepper album...
I've never seen a leopard-print tie, but I probably don't shop where Paula does... Still, it would go well with a "Nats-blue" shirt, with Tony Manero collar and ruffled cuffs, If I was Bridges I'd keep letting my mum choose my ties than let Paula near my ...
My dream team: Leader - Judith Collins Deputy - Amy Adams Finance - Stephen Joyce Election Campaign - Simon Bridges & Mark Mitchell While they're infighting, it will give the left time to build.
Or, as I think MickeySavage has alluded to, maybe she is following the Winston Peters "How to be Deputy Leader with only minority support" model. Here's a scenario: JC works and works to get her personal support to a level at which she could pull out of ...
Even opposed as I am to their politics, I'm certainly not trying to draw any analogies with individuals, but in response to your comment: "She thinks that violent imagery is a good thing. She should reconsider this. We are talking about who should become...
But those with a born to rule mentality might admire arrogance and vote for it.
sorry, link is here... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B3c4o-7PH44
have to give him credit for getting out there and doing something in front of the nation that he obviously knows he isnt good at. That's never easy, and most of us turn our backs on those 'opportunities'. That said, there's some messages here: 1. Someone, ...
Not really. National has its own equivalent. Numerous journalists, talk-show hosts, and businesspeople all get behind National, I think. Whatever happened to Peter Shirtcliff? And under your new rules, BM (sorry, still can't get over your choice of moniker...
National has built a business formula around neoliberalism. There will likely be a whole lot of National's 'establishment' that can't do/don't know any different. It takes a bunch of young turks like the old fishnchips brigade to overthrow an old guard and...
Once was a time when the big estates were compulsorily broken up, in the pursuit of democracy. If things dont change soon, a hundred years of social progress will be cancelled out. And yet, when the world was where we are heading, people (some very wealthy...
The Gay and Queer terms were made acceptable during a time when the country/ world was in a particular mood towards civil liberties. If the left tried to do the same with Nanny State, there is a right wing army mobilised to attack it and a general populace...
Dont know if you will see this. Ive been offline for a few days and its a late reply. Thanks for explaining this. It confused me. I would think it means that people cant stand any reasonable chance of getting into parliament without selling their soul to a...
I think National likes having no friends. It wants to win the election by being the biggest polling party and able to govern by itself. It nearly made it this time. Remember, it wants to bring back FPP. Jacindas smile and PR skills will only last as far as...
Confucious say When economy turns to shit, someone just did a big BM
Don't know why the taxpayers union doesn't like Santa Claus. He's the only successful example of trickle down I know of. BTW, Merry Christmas, Standardistas!
Re point 4 - (for those with long memories) - get your cheauffeur to put the Bima in a disabled park while you get said haircut.
So why did Blinglish choose uni over the Golden Arches, if the latter is the better? He could have been a Shift Manager by now, or at least a Trainer instead of a uni graduate. Anyway, if Blinglish ate at McDonalds more often, like the bottom 50% or so, ...
I am glad an opinion piece was done here about that Herald article. I was so angry when I read it, I had to re-read it, to prove to myself that I was actually reading what I thought I was. This is not only not true (we have a majority coalition), but it is...
Simple. Following from the last point, suggesting that if the MSD argument is true, then mortgages of employees should be taxed, why not: Request the mortgage and other loans details of the head of SSC and the senior management team of MSD and their ...
This is MMP working for you. It stops lobby groups or business initiatives being able to decide the winner of an election by throwing money at it. The party with the biggest share may not be the eventual winner. FPP had big risks of becoming undemocratic ...
Did anyone read the Herald today? Talk about sore losers! Seymour, who I thought was a professional politician, despite my not liking his politics, really let himself down. Hoskings thinks MMP failed because it isn't FPP. Heaps of other writers dumped ...
I've been trying to think what I'd do if I was Winston. If I go into coalition with National, I'd be worried they'd shaft me again, and I'd be the junior coalition partner. With Labour, I'd be a bit better off, but still I'd have to give away some of the ...
In 1998, 7 NZ1 MPs left the party and either joined a newly formed party or became independent. I cant remember how, but National could then get support from them without NZ1 itself, leaving Peters without the leverage of the numbers. See: https://en.m....
I saw a chart in one of the papers last week that gave the proportion of NZFirst voters who didn't want Winston to go with this or that party. Interesting chart. Turned on its head, it can be used to show where the majority of NZFirsts support would lean, ...
... in and it appeared to Thinkerr that business could maybe even...
Well, if he was meaning his discussions with National, the other party would need to be ACT. And Seymour has said enough to make that unlikely. So, I see this as a positive sign, albeit always aware that Winston sometimes surprises by pulling a rubber ...
According to its name, it is an Associaction and the Association is the party. But, then, it would be, wouldnt it? Given its policies lean to everything and everyone being part of some kind of market transaction...
I might be rong, but hadn't Douglas written a book or pamphlet outlining his vision if Labour won and it could be construed tthat a devaluation was on the cards?
Depending on their mortgage situation, they maybe ship-scared of the property market reverting to its natural level, devouring their equity faster than the Nats can consume their coalition partners, and maybe leaving them owing more than their house is ...
