Truth hurts eh Lynn. See ya lol.
Go on Lynn. Ban me then you [deleted] [lprent: First rational and responsible thing you have said. Bye. ]
[lprent: deleted as simple minded spam with no apparent content. Gloating by simpletons whilst wanking should wait until after an election. Something that has to be won first. This is your only warning. ]
Keep being a Labour apologist and wave those pompoms Patricia. Just don't be shocked when you get smashed in the election because you didn't deliver on promises, like you said you would. Sycophantcy helps no one and keeps our elected officials mediocre.
They promised mobile dental services back and 2021 and then utterly failed to implement this at the level promised. I believe in universal free dental. But if you promise stuff previously and don't deliver, is it any wonder people take your credibility ...
Just my view Kat. I may be wrong, or you may be wrong. Time will tell.
Same people. Unlike some I don't stay in an echo chamber. That's why I know that unless something drastic happens, Labour will be consigned to the opposition benches come mid October. The mood for change and anti Labour sentiment is palpable. Good to see ...
Good dental policy just announced by Labour. I'd prefer a needs based system or completely universal policy on this. But we are on our way.
You say all that, but from what I am seeing and hearing kiwis love it. Sorry Micky, but this is more wishful thinking than reality.
Labour are pissing in the wind against this new tax proposal. Rightly or wrongly, from what I am seeing, kiwis seem to love it. In my volunteer work, the people I meet and talk with, (several hundred per month). Don't really care about National. They just ...
David Parker also. More disunity in the ranks than we have seen in some time. Understandable though.
Why are we holding the major election debates after early voting has started? Come on now. That defies logic!
Credit where credit is due, that's a good tax policy by National. I hope it gives Hipkins and Labour the impetus to realize his captains call on wealth taxes etc, was wrong. National have laid down the gauntlet, come on Labour $4 off your grocery shop ...
I'll take TPM and the Greens over this iteration of Labour any day. But if there is no path for power for the left. I'd take a National, NZFirst and Act government over a National and Act government alone. Winston will spoil the party and destabilize that ...
I genuinely think this was an idiotic move by Hipkins to rule out Winston Peters and NZFirst. Is Hipkins not seeing the polls? There is no current path to power on the left without Peters. Imo this decision has just decided the election. Many on the left ...
"How cool that 63% of respondents believe these two things:" the government should tax high wealth everyone should have access to dental care" People in favour of free stuff as long as others pay for it, I'm shocked!

Liz is good, but unfortunately for her Penny Simmonds is outstanding.
So instead of taxing the uber rich more to pay for infrastructure and other societal benefits. PM Hipkins decides to hit everyone with 12c per litre in fuel taxes over the next three years. This is how you lose elections people. Is he really this thick, or...
Now show us the social housing waiting list figures from 2017 to now... Labour have failed our most vulnerable when it comes to housing. To suggest otherwise, doesn't stand up to scrutiny.
My impression is Grant has had to swallow a few dead rats lately. Sir Michael Cullens tax working group was against this policy and so was Grant some months back. But Grant is a team player and has done his best here. I don't like the policy personally, I ...
From her piece on the news tonight, she has changed her tune.
On current polling many MPs will be out of a job in October. But surely they understand that leaking just makes that more of a certainty?. I know humans by nature are selfish, but leaking to National or the press is idiotic and will not have they desired ...
I hope you're wrong Corey. But fear you aren't.
Sadly it appears that the leaks were accurate and Nicola Willis was able to take all the gloss off this policy. It concerns me that many on the left appear to be opposed to this plan, but I understand why. I was hoping for something truly transformational ...
It is nuts, but Labour need a circuit breaker. I genuinely believe Kieren would get immediate cut through. The status quo is not working.
Well you hold on to that won't you. Even though the latest poll showed Luxon and Hipkins neck and neck at 25% preferred PM. https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/politics/election-2023-new-poll-shows-labour-crashing-nzf-rising-and-national-act-with-enough-support-...
I would have chosen Wood and Kiri but now it has to be Kieran McAnulty and Cushla Tangaere‑Manuel. Labours polling in the 20s. Winston is going with the right if needed. What other choices do we have? Hold on and hope this is going to turn around with ...
Time for Chris Hipkins to go. He's finished, as is Labour if they stick with him and his captains calls. Fresh face, fresh ideas let's do this!

I know many on the left are faux outraged about this, but I like the policy. Yes, it can already happen, but in many classrooms it isn't. If this policy means only 100 kids per year see the benefit from this move, it would've been well worth it. I also ...
