		<description>Well, if National keep losing support at this rate, Key will have problems sooner than you think.

People aren&#039;t stupid. They don&#039;t love Labour/Greens, but they are starting to see through Noddy Nothing.</description>

		<description>And the public &quot;CLEARLY&quot; are not happy... I wonder whats a more credible measure of public opinion...

1. Comment page on the Dom Post website, which (with a sample size of less than 60) is able to be unduly skewed.
2. Opinion polls, which are telling the same story they have told all year.

Other things that the public CLEARLY believe in based on that benchmark:

1. The Loch Nest Monster
2. Raelians
3. The healing power of tobasco sauce

You write better stuff when youre not being such a Labour fan boi, Marty. Don&#039;t let that stop you playing to the crowd tho eh.</description>

		<description>yeah, it&#039;s true they only go till six on Thursdays, but they did run out of legislation on Wednesday, and it&#039;s not the first time.

Also, Mike, &quot;Marty G is showing the same amount of research and intelligence that goes into all his posts&quot; What a dick. You see all those graphs and stuff Marty produces. 

It discredits you entirely when you say things like that which are easily falsifiable. Not that you had any crediblity to begin with, just a deep shapeless anger at the centre of your soul.</description>

		<description>The Author didn&#039;t mention any polls JD

&quot;And the public is clearly not happy, judging by the public response to Key&#039;s piece in the Dompost yesterday (Stuff just let a bunch more comments through moderation  ouch).&quot;


Another National Party Line runner trips over before they even start.

Hey JD congrats in getting rid of the Insert region here section before you posted your comment!</description>

		<description>&quot;Talk about weak, when the public disgruntlement with this do-nothing govenment has reached a level where they&#039;re resorting to â€˜not even, we&#039;ve done heaps&#039;&quot;

So what polls were you referring to?</description>
