If you insist on analogies...The carriages were laden with many great things as the red train left the station. However, early on in its journey the train failed to ignore warnings from the gathering crowds along its way that the train was maybe on the ...
Excellent commentary from Bryan. Unfortunately Anne decided to ignore some quite illuminating insight by the writer, and chose to turn it into another analysis of the ABCer's. Oh well....you can lead a horse to water....
"traditionally a very left wing country'. Well after Saturday night I would have to question that we are a 'very' left wing country. I would be very interested in an age demographic re the weekends results.
alwyn, you nailed it. It would appear too many people here talking to themselves...you tend to get the answers you want.
gobsmacked, if you want to discuss silly lines...there was only one of us talking banana's in pyjamas the wizard of Oz and cheeseburgers. Oh yes...I'm sure if certain critics of David Cunliffe were keeping quiet everything would be just dandy. However, ...
The manager sets the tone for the entire business. You are lucky, obviously you don't have a lot to do with your manager. FYI...I am the Manager, and I know the importance of having the respect of your staff. 'Attitude reflects leadership'..an oldie but a ...
gobsmacked (20.1.1) That is a bit of a paper tiger argument. This thing is a complete mess, anyway you look at it. I honestly think that some members talking to journalists is the least of Labours problems to be perfectly honest. Also, it doesn't actually ...
Annie (20) I have no problem with members talking to journalists. Who are US? The people of this country are all free to vote Labour if they wish. If individual members want to talk to 'the people' through the media, what is wrong with that? What the heck ...
higherstandard (17) You said it so well...may I say it again, just to reinforce the fact... What a clusterf***
Goodness me. I am reading some of the comments here in disbelief. Why are you even talking about John Key at this moment? They are the victors, fact. Yes, you can be disappointed with the result, but the people of this country cast their votes, the result ...
thatguynz, I would wager a bet that if you were working for a manager you neither like or respect, it would be a pretty unhappy workplace! Good grief, talk about lowering the bar.
Brian (44.1.1) Those voters recognise some of these candidates as hardworking in their individual electorates, and reward them accordingly. But they see the party ideology, and Mr Cunliffe in particular, as something else altogether.
Brian - Agree, being able to see the forest, and the trees.
Explain to me then, how on earth could National win the party vote in Dunedin South...yes, Dunedin South, a so-called safe Labour haven, yet Clare Curran won her seat?
I am so sick of hearing this crap about how Shearer might or might not have done in the so-called significant debates. I went to work after the debates, and most of the people at work said Cunliffe won, but that wouldn't vote for him!! George Bush beat Al ...
Tom, National won the Party vote in Dunedin South for goodness sake. Dunedin South, where all those redundant Hillside workers live, but Clare Curran won her seat. Is everyone just simply in denial...I'm beginning to wonder? Echo chamber......
Good luck with that. However, what is the job of the Labour Party? If it is to be your friend then I guess you will be satisfied with your friendship. Clearly the people no longer feel that the Labour Party speak for them. This is far bigger than David ...
I have a simple question. At what point will you accept that Cunliffe is not liked by the people that should be voting Labour? Before the election is was stated that the more people got to see David Cunliffe, the more they would warm to him, that did not ...
Just heard David Cunliffe's final words, being interviewed by Lisa Owen. And Labour wonder why they lost? Seriously, Cunliffe actually blamed everyone else for the loss tonight, and didn't take any responsibility at all upon himself...none. Would have been...
Never seen Key look as unsettled as he did last night. Good job by David Cunliffe, exceeded my expectations.
Gee, thanks for the response. Nice to know you are such an open minded welcoming group. For your information, I visit this site often and post the occasional comment. I'm a paid-up member of the Labour Party and was merely offering my opinion. I was not ...
Labour...would you please stop giving me reasons not to vote for you! .....and I'm not talking about this policy. I am talking about the fact you thought, for even a moment, that it would be appropriate to censor the first comment by Lead Bow. Yes..yes.....
Stop trying to draw comparisons between Hosking and Campbell. As far as I know Campbell has never endorsed a PM. Hosking however, when introducing Key before his 'State of the Union Address' said .... "I've done my own state of the nation... As I see it, ...

.....nice teeth though, must be all that milk.
To be fair, I think Gower has been all over this. I said last week that he was an 'equal opportunity' digger among the claims of bias in favour of the Nats. I have not seen any evidence of that, Gower is out to 'get ya' wherever you are and whoever you are...
Sookie, Happy to admit I was a fan of Shearer also. Nothing people love more in this country than the real deal. Admittedly he was a poor performer in the media spotlight, but that would have no doubt improved by now, and he had a lot of personal appeal. ...
The Brainwashing of My Dad...... If you've not seen it I am sure many of you will find it interesting - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qh3TeTxgNVo
Sookie, exactly right. I have been banging on about the distraction that is Gower's bias all day To believe that he or a general media bias will be the cause of another Labour loss is a total cop-out. Gower and other journos like him are basically ...
Well there you go....quote from above ^ "It is becoming more and more inevitable that we, the Left, are going to lose this election. The reason being the corrupt media..." If you really believe that will be the reason for the Left's loss, then it will ...
And if the majority of the public are leaning center right?
