Indeed https://www.azquotes.com/quote/912336 'Only those who do not seek power are qualified to hold it.'
Or even Jim Bolgers :-)
Interesting idea
How would that encourage more non-uni types to join, sounds like it'd cost a helluva lot more unless you're decreasing the pay (which would be ok with me) and all we'd get is more of the same
So how do you think we could encourage more non-university people to stand for parliament?
I agree, as the article we have a greater representation then we've ever had...as long as you went to university so it would be good to have more views from more walks of life
Well if my predictions were accurate I would have won lotto by now :-)
"Then again, any such stipulations are plainly idiotic and simply demonstrate the biases of the stipulator." Guilty as charged :-)
So wanting a diversion from JLR I read this article and I thought it interesting https://www.stuff.co.nz/national/107964829/a-breed-apart-mps-are-now-birds-of-a-different-feather Maybe some sort of standard for MPs needs to be implemented, like you can't ...
Well if his numbers are stuck then its not going backwards and so the point about ignoring celebrities still stands so its all good :-)
Good to see that people of the USA are basically ignoring what celebrities have to say https://www.newshub.co.nz/home/world/2018/10/donald-trump-s-approval-rating-higher-than-barack-obama-at-same-stage-of-presidency-new-poll.html 'Mr Trump's 47 percent ...

May not have been a National MP...

He could be but I'm more of the idea that he has a memory that would make a goldfish blush with embarrassment It was such an easy slam dunk I almost didn't want to mention it
I agree with you Ed but you left out government https://www.newsroom.co.nz/2018/06/25/130989/arrest-in-labour-party-sex-assault-case https://www.stuff.co.nz/national/politics/107632218/probable-that-meka-whaitiri-grabbed-staffer-investigation-finds
They are currently polling 3.3% and while its a long ways to go any missing voters is hugely detrimental in that situation
Hey its all good, its Nationals turn to supply the entertainment.
While it'd obviously be better coming from Labour this is still pretty interesting. I do enjoy and good political blood letting :-)
Agreed, unfortunately
If Winstons in charge then no its a waste of time but if Winstons not in charge and someone else is then yes definitely
They do soar in except for when they don't (1999 and 2008) However I'd suggest that in 2017 a large percentage of their votes were from right leaning voters wanting NZFirst to "reign in" National so theres quite a few NZFirst supporters that won't be ...
No cigar but not a joke either and if NZFirst stays below the threshold (they're currently on 3.3%) by National targeting NZFirst then the next election could get very interesting indeed
I really dislike the practice of doing +1 on comments however for this I'll make an exception +1
You're half right, Nationals on 45% so not a joke at all
It works...if you have someone decent to vote for If...
