Talk about hitting a nerve. A quick scan down the recent posts lists gives a pretty good indication what it is that is worrying Labour supporters at the moment.

I love watching Kullen under pressure, he reverts to his nasty little socialist scum bag roots.
I hope he keeps it up, the public have had enough of this tax grabbing low life, he and Labour are history.

Phil – I certainly do remember Lange (and Muldoon, Marshall and Holyoake). My comment was intended to be a light-hearted one, showing how lack of experience will be used by all sides of the political spectrum.

Rexel

Who is we ?

There is not one NZer who wants what Key wants – Clearly you don’t but that’s a rather all encompassing comment and doesn’t seem to refect any of the evidence to the contrary. I’d query whether he’s a first grade looser on the political front as the most recent poll has him neck and neck with Helen who is the most capable politician of recent times not bad for someone who is new to politics.

Yeehaa

We have finally got the slippry prick where we want him. Cullen has flushed him out and he has finally broken and shown his true dispicable colours.

There is not one New Zealander who wants what Key wants. He is a first grade looser on the Political front and now that he is been honest his support will drop to single digits.

Brash was smashed in 2005 with these politics, now its Keys turn

Bring it on

Personally I’m just wondering how the ‘right’ is going to feel after having another election ‘stolen’.

I’m afraid that Key reminds me of one of the more shifty type of used car salesmen. You get the distinct impression that it is impossible to get a policy that makes any sort of sense out of him.

Please could the Nat’s please find someone to elevate the level of debate……

yep – even it is getting into the act…

Tamaki,

Apparently you’re not old enough to remember David Lange…

“experience” – something that’s only important when it’s a fault with your opponent!
paraphrased from kiwiblog:
I think Key’s experience, or lack of it, is going to become more of a factor. It got me wondering if any other PM (I am assuming he becomes the PM) has had as little experience at executive level.

Key does so much better when he gets others with a bit more experienced standing up for him in the House.

christ with a guy as invertibrate as Key I would hate to think how he’d play hardball with any corporate or foreign power – let alone the US.
my guess is he’d just roll over and claim an attack of not remembering what his position was.

Sorry Tamaki didn’t mean to shout
