Besides crowd size at a rally (which has no proven correlation, at all, in any coherent political science to electoral outcomes) how exactly do you back up your claim that Trump has "momentum on the ground"? Oh thats right, its bullshit spin from the right...
Honestly, CV, your flirtation with Trump is sickening. An attempt to make light of how the election Donald Trump is a very real threat to the lives to millions of Americans serves the interests of no one who the left stands on the same side as.
Wikileaks has been involved in the release of details about teenage rape victims, it has outed queer men in Saudi Arabia and released the details of the partners of those with HIV. (http://bigstory.ap.org/article/b70da83fd111496dbdf015acbb7987fb/private-...
CV, the 'Love Trumps Hate' slogan has taken off around the USA. It is sported by people across the various parts of the Dems. It is on tshirts, bumber stickers, homemade signs. At the Bernie rally I was just at in Sacramento this slogan was a rallying cry ...
Working class people... how about the co-leaders? Lets not forget that the Greens are not some sort of 1% who like to visit parks in their spare time. The party is made of people who want to see the working and under-privileged flourish, along side our ...
Ugh. I also specifically said "not saying that is what you want", because I read the post. Also I did not say “but patchwork solutions!!!!!” .... I actually said "patchwork solutions". I actually agree with your original post. I just find the treatment of ...
Yes I did mean “pillorying”, but alas my auto correct was turned on. QOT you have missed the point. I would argue that if you talk to most of the people who you have had a go at tonight, they totally want to achieve the same changes in society that you do....
But was simply extending the institution of marriage (and all of its associated privilege) to one group actually going to be looked back on in 100 years as a being a giant leap forward for challenging the inequalities that exist in a capitalist world? I ...
I am really confused about which website I am on right now.
Actually I am a young New Zealander who is studying a Bachelor of Fine Arts in San Francisco with the Lines Ballet. I am incredibly proud to have been supported by David Cunliffe throughout the process of applying to American universities, and subsequently...
But alas, Mickey, those who are unable to think beyond the confines of their lives will never be able to grasp the concept of affirmative action.

But generally overseas speculators are benefitting from a different market in their home country.
Agreed.
Oh yes, Labour being on 31% is mixed news. Bad for 99% of New Zealand but bloody great for Tories.
Infused, if they are interested in saving the small amount that they will make in extra profit as a result of youth rates (insignificant to a large brand, but a very significant amount to a low paid worker) then I am pretty sure that they will care when ...
And lets just take a moment to recognise that rape culture is far bigger than a piece of legislation. You just need to look at people saying that they have been 'FRAPED' on Facebook to see the extent of it.
But it is rape, it is part of a broader rape culture. These men view it as being alright to have sex with underage girls. Girls that cannot give consent. That is rape. Just like girls and women (or boys and men) who are intoxicated cannot give consent. It ...
Heh! Exactly what I was thinking, maybe the Labour Caucus already know that they are defeated by Turei /Norman on the leadership front!
Okay Alwyn, lets see you get admitted to the Kennedy School of Government. Then try and get your Masters. Also, Cunliffe already had his Hons.
Just casually an MPA from... ya know... Harvard.
For fuck sake. I just listen to the press conference, Shearer said re: Parker that he has "led the debate on the transformation of our economy" and that "there is no-one in the parliament with the depth of understanding of the challenges we are facing [...
So the top 10 is blindingly ABC, making Jacinda Ardern perhaps the most left wing out of the top 10. Does anyone really think this is going to be a great progressive Government come 2014? If they wanted some real renewal, lets see Moana instead of Maryan. ...
"Those who are hyper-critical of the current Labour leadership please take note!" See here is where it all starts falling apart. Much of the criticism of the Leadership is not actually about poll results, the heart of it is in the failure of the caucus to ...
I am hopefully not going to be stuck at Newark Airport as a snow storm engolfs the Northeast... Back in NZ after over a month away!
I never said anything uncivil. I never post anything that is uncivil on The Standard.
Is it? Is it really unfair? Because last time I checked, the caucus seems to be running all of these lines about "principles" while only paying lip service to may of them.
My point exactly Bill :)
Your principles like bashing beneficiaries etc etc. Give up Annette.
The incredible thing is that people within Labour often reply to any criticism with, 'well don't you want Labour to win', along with 'the Party is bigger than all of us'... The truth is, that there are some of us who are more loyal to our values than to a ...
Made me giggle a little bit.
