Cheers cleangreen glad you enjoyed last nights debate. I have hosted a number of debates over the years, this was quite enjoyable, good debating as it should be across the main parties, a few laughs, some fanatical National supporters mishaving in ...
[lprent: A wellington political astroturfer - now blacklisted. ] Sorry Sprout I was probably not very precise with my wording, and I didn't mean you. Yes Shearer has done things. He went to Afghanistan and Iraq and ran multi-billion dollar aid missions in ...
[lprent: A wellington political astroturfer - now blacklisted. ] He doesn't even live in his electorate Joel. Last time I saw footage of him in his electorate he was outside the Avondale markets bleating about millionaires living in their mansions, before ...
[lprent: A wellington political astroturfer - now blacklisted. ] Some things that Cunliffe's supporters might want to think about. 1. It's not in anybody's interests except the Nats if there's a shit-fight. Talking contenders down doesn't do your future ...
[lprent: A wellington political astroturfer - now blacklisted. ] No that's not my idea Blighty, please don't put words in my mouth. I was just disputing that Cunliffe took a major pay cut to go to Parliament as Mickey said he did.
[lprent: A wellington political astroturfer - now blacklisted. ] Colonial viper, you clearly don't understand how consulting firms work. They all pay the same. In NZ, where Cunliffe was based, the most junior person is a consultant. They then graduate to ...
[lprent: A wellington political astroturfer - now blacklisted. ] "He was highly placed in Boston Consultancy Group prior to entering Parliament and took a severe pay cut to become an MP." I call bollocks on that. He wasn't ever senior at Boston Consulting....
[lprent: A wellington political astroturfer - now blacklisted. ] I think Robertson's sexuality is overstated. Grant's got a lot of qualities, and for anyone under 50 I don't think his sexuality is at all an issue, he's never been seen as the token crowd ...
[lprent: A wellington political astroturfer - now blacklisted. ] Sorry Sprout, I didn't mean to sound hostile. I just think it's disingenuous to claim that the media and the right set the schedule when Labour's caucus lasted five hours before they came out...
[lprent: A wellington political astroturfer - now blacklisted. ] Who else do you think should be included as contenders Sprout? And if they should be contenders then why haven't they had the guts to come out and say so yet? And didn't you vote for NZ First...
[lprent: A wellington political astroturfer - now blacklisted. ] I think you've got the wrong end of the stick, Sprout. 1. It was Phil Goff who announced the timeframe after the caucus on Tuesday, not the media or right wing commentators. 2. The three ...
[lprent: A wellington political astroturfer - now blacklisted. ] 14 to 19% isn't a very good score after three years when your rival for the job, the incumbent, is in the seventies. If that's all you've got to after three years then it's time to call it ...
[lprent: A wellington political astroturfer - now blacklisted. ] I'm debating with you seriously here felix, it's an interesting analogy on Graham Henry. I would suggest that Henry staying on after '07 was the same reasoning that Helen stayed on in '96 ...
[lprent: A wellington political astroturfer - now blacklisted. ] Felix, don't you think the problem would be if Goff remains for some time, that it will look like a vote of no confidence in all the others? How does that look that the guy who led labour to ...
[lprent: A wellington political astroturfer - now blacklisted. ] She sure gave Mini Me a beating though didn't she?
I have heard a number of Labour MPs say that alcohol pricing and availability are their major concerns in alcohol reform. So you can make of that what you will. It's not unfair or outrageous to claim that therefore some Labour MPs support raising the ...
I don't really know why its funny Mrs X but honestly Rhys is hilarious with his pretence of being such a goober - love him....and good on him for standing up for something worthwhile.
So lets get this straight. You are arguing the government should be borrowing money at 6% to generate a 6.57% return. Are you serious or is this a joke? If the returns are guaranteed in the long run why stop at borrowing $2b? why not $4b or $10b?
