The current rise of populism challenges the way we think about people’s relationship to the economy.We seem to be entering an era of populism, in which leadership in a democracy is based on preferences of the population which do not seem entirely rational nor serving their longer interests. ...

It sounds like it’s really the yanks.
Read the last paragraph of your link. It says the shares are held by ‘yanks’ arent the actual owners. It’s a never ending error made by journalists.
HSBC JP Morgan citigroup etc DONT own big blocks of shares. There may be a limit on non Australian resident companies or individuals having in total more than 50%

Two holidays back home ? The minister really did his homework on this one.
No wonder he was so smug.

Reading between the lines Cindy must be hating this.
The PM doesn’t “read between the lines”. She receives accurate intelligence. Times have changed, James. Good people are in charge now.
The intelligence on this doesn’t appear to be very accurate.
Well it may have been, but neither Galloway or Ardern (upon it all kicking off), seems to have read it, if it was
Indeed, no tax payer funded trips to the Czech Republic for mark mitchell.
If she received such accurate intelligence- why are they having to review it after their stupidity was pointed out.
Tell me James …. Do englishmen get let off on minor crimes …. like stabbing your english wife in the throat …… when the emigrate to New Zealand ??.
And as an englishman ……….. do you support your fellow country man …. convicted double killer Malcolm Alan Francis …. not being deported.
Or are you only interested in deportation cases where you can score cynical political points ??? ….
I’ve asked chris t and he’s in the cynical camp ….
Why do you think national did not deport your fellow pom when he was released from jail for the second new zealand woman he killed ?
Would you support deportation if he killed a third …. or try and blame labour? http://www.stuff.co.nz/national/crime/4651604/Cop-begs-killer-to-come-clean
Because the ‘accurate intelligence’ was anything but! It’s a funny old world when a lame media organ can unveil information the Minister and his staff seemed not to be aware of.

Oh – I had no idea you got so upset with nick names for our politicians?
How precious.
Lol you’ve got no idea all right.
Their sexism, misogyny and elitism shines through
Yes ed – they are weak men.
It would be nice, if just once in a while, that they postulated their alternative vision , rather than the constant snide remarks.
Anyway…
I put forward my alternative vision to being a vegetarian- and you wouldn’t even try.
They haven’t got it in them ed. Just a bridge too far for these two saddos.
LOl, you guys are the true definition of the left wing beta male.
Permanently offended beta males.
It’s the lack of good BBQ’d meat.
You have made a typo. The word is spelt “better”.
LOL This thread is gold. Good to see people refusing to tolerate this patronising sexism that is so often aimed at the PM.
Robert Guyton @3.1
There have been no signs of intelligence in this clusterfuck.
He probably gets paperwork for 10 cases per DAY to make a decision on deport or not.
Maybe one was slipped in amount the others by the corrupt immigration staff? Who knows
I have noticed your initial reaction to any mistake Labour make seems to be leaping to a fairly extreme conspiracy theory involving everyone else but them.
It’s cool and all that. Each to their own.
Just personally find it quite amusing
Like the theory that national were involved in getting jlr sectioned, which turned out to be true……..
JS.
You missed the bit where National had him sectioned against his will, so they could steal his computers and phones and delete all the recordings, while talking staff into saying the were abused by him two days later, while they secretly were planning it 2 months ago, and it was a massive move by Collins to undermine Soymun.
And only the great epitomy of honesty and trustworthiness Slater should be taken on his word
We weren’t taking Slater at his word, just that this time there was more truth in his version than Bridges version.
The stuff about immigration decisions is essentially correct. Corrupt…goes without saying based on the investigations into their own staff…which at one time even involved INZ head, a most reprehensible fraudster.
Anything is possible.
Chris T was pushing the conspiracy theory that Clare Curran and Trevor Mallard leaked Simon’s travel expenses. How ridiculous!

To Chris t and BM. I think Gordon Campbell puts this immigration issue in excellent perspective……..

Jacinda Ardern ‘world’s most charismatic leader’ – UK political strategist
“You’re very lucky in New Zealand. Jacinda is probably the most charismatic single figure, democratic leader in the world at the moment. It’s not just that she’s popular – it’s that she is something special, and everyone sees it. She’s fresh, she’s a star, she’s the real thing”
https://www.newshub.co.nz/home/politics/2018/10/jacinda-ardern-world-s-most-charismatic-leader-uk-political-strategist.html
Compulsive reading for BM and James….
read it. Disagree.
Who do you think is the worlds most charismatic leader please James?
Tie between Trump and Putin.
Ardern’s a nobody.

To Chris t and BM. I think Gordon Campbell puts this immigration issue in excellent perspective……..
Ok BM your entitled to that view
People only pretend they have charisma because they can fuck people up if they they don’t get what they expect. That’s power not charisma.
At the moment .. Jair Bolsonaro
Tropical trump, he’s a full on character that’s for sure.
Media always has a hand to play, in his case a bishop hooked him up.
Not sure who I’d chose for most charismatic.
However our PM does have charisma in spades.
Personally it’s an enormous relief not to feel embarrassed anymore of NZs PM on the world stage.
“An enormous relief to not be embarrassed by our PM on the world stage” – ain’t that the truth! & Gordon Campbell nails it, esp the bit about only Tory men being the arbiters of what is good management, cough james bm et al cough…
Thanks Fireblade, I have met her on a number of occasions and always feel more hopeful and happy she is our PM.
Yes. Compare the active measures to keep some privacy for Neave, compared to Bridges who has flogged his family and new baby for the woman’s mags in home photo shoots on multiple occasions. His political image gets more important than his kids . It’s vile

That should always happen, and just did 🙂
John Key speaks out about the economy and about Jamie Lee Ross. Surprisingly he is pretty mild/neutral. Reading between the lines though…
