   Hair pulling, name calling, telling lies. National politics really is exactly like the old school yard days when I was at primary….. Next they’ll be throwing tantrums in public, just like a 3 year old.. Hold on, the PM (and others) already do that at question time…

   So, this is the real secret to gaining a seat in parliament and the treasury benches? Nice one.

   3 election wins in a row, higher personal approval rating and more seats for his party now than when first elected, dude must be doing something right.

   /asbestos

   [lprent: Where did the plural in seats come from? They currently have 59 seats. Exactly one seat more than they had in the 2008. Back in those halycon days National’s ACT partner had 5 seats rather than the one they have now. Their Maori party partner had 5 rather than the two that they have now. It does rather seem like their majority is diminishing at the same speed that your senility is approaching.

   In other words, if you want to troll, then be accurate. ]

       “dude must be doing something right”

       The reason for his popularity is that he is able to make everything that is wrong sound right. People who love/need an excuse for getting away with doing wrong love this skill of his, and all too often, especially in his government, try to emulate him. Unfortunately there are many such people who make it hell for for those who try to think of others rather than just themselves.

     59 is greater than 58. The first number represents MORE SEATS than the second number. Thus it is mathematically true that National now has MORE SEATS than it did in 2008.

     Sheesh.

           In the first term they could pass pretty much any right-wing legislation they wanted.

           They now can’t, since they only have 60 seats of hard right voting power, thanks to fucking up Northland.

             At the Grey Power National AGM, Maggie Barry blamed the inability to pass her government’s RMA reforms on the opposition, whereas my immediate reaction was to blame their abysmal showing in Northland.

             The housing crisis has the same fount of blame as well.

             They’re good at shifting responsibility and accountability, this government.

               Interesting how the apolitical organisation of Grey Power has recently had its meetings being addressed by sitting or past National Party people. Apparently the guest speakers have all been singing from the same song sheet as well.

                 She is the Minister for Seniors, after all.

                 Next year will be different with a range of politicians, so I’m not too concerned with any fear or favour here.

           You do understand that on many of National’s policies now it would be:

           59+1 against 1+2+ 32+14+12
           60 against 61

       Something like:

       14 May 2015 at 3:37 pm

       Yep Little should start every speech with “angry damn right I’m angry ” Be Angry Andy BUT, only angry at the waste of Money, lack of affordable houses, and all the other squandered chances. That we have seen over the last 7 years.

   Disraeli once described the manner of Bishop Wilberforce as “unctuous, oleaginous, saponaceous.” And the good prelate was ever afterward known as Soapy Sam. For every man there is something in the vocabulary that would stick to him like a second skin. His enemies have only to find it. – Ambrose Bierce

   In this case the Gnats have yet to find it – negligible talents for coining metaphors – but they are looking hard.

     “In this case the Gnats have yet to find it – negligible talents for coining metaphors – but they are looking hard”

     or rather they’re paying megabucks to their crony consultants and spinmeisters to ‘look hard’

   Andrew Little? Yes, I like seeing strength of feeling in a politician, and he seems to have the whole range going on.
   John Key? I have never seen “smiley John” only “sinister John”, a lack of authenticity that is chilling, and he hasn’t seduced me.
   What will it take for middle, “vast majority of nuzillanders” to wake up?????

   I think they are making a huge mistake calling him ‘angry andy’. For anyone locked out of buying a house and forced to pay ever higher rents, having someone with that moniker in Parliament is more attractive not less.

    Name calling often shows fear and lack of counter argument.

    Angry Andy could actually become a very useful hook for Mr Little.

    Angry Andy head to head with Shon Key could resonate well with the disenchanted.

    It is time to cut the crap.

    Andrew Little in the Herald:

    “He (Key) will throw around the labels as much as he likes. People are getting to know me but they want someone who is actually passionate about New Zealand, who is not in the Prime Minister’s job as a vanity project and that’s the difference between him and me.”

    “who is not in the Prime Minister’s job as a VANITY PROJECT.” Wow! That cuts to the bone.

    Stay angry, Andrew. You’re doing fine.

    Follow the money. Who benefited most from Nat policy of the last seven years? The one percenters, Aussie banks and big overseas investors. Key is still working for Wall St elites and bringing NZ into line with US corporate interests. Probably gets instructions directly from his golfing buddy Obama

    It’s an absolute hoot – this “Angry Andy” crapola has NEVER taken off – but still they try. Guess that marks the hubris – “…….we say it, it’s gonna be gold !”

    Crosby Textor must be working to rule. Hey GaucheKey…….’words’ were never your ace !

    Have a not-born-in-NZ friend in Aux whose comment thus still makes me chuckle – “Hey, I t’ink dat Mitta Gey’s a pit ov a kirl !” Apologies to all who might be justifiably offended. Comment and reporting thereof is designed to illustrate the fraudulence, not to offend.

      As mentioned above, even if “angry Andy” does take off the ways it can be positively spun are substantial.

      e.g. ‘Yes, I am angry about lack of regulation that causes workers to be killed in their jobs every day, why aren’t you?’

      ‘Yes, I am angry about the favours deal done over dinner for SkyCity, it’s a shoddy deal for the taxpayer’

      etc, etc.
