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. ...

Govt promises as little as possible on housing WoF, hoping to sweep dead baby under carpet:

Gee I thought Blinglish said it was an extreme idea.
Focus group results must be in.
yep
with follow-up polling by Farrar’s elves today and tomorrow to check if it was enough to neutralise anger over dead babies amongst their core voters.
“”Some of the advice we’ve seen is not only would rents rise but its likely some landlords would pull out of the market.””
Surely if landlords exited the market house prices would ease ,and who knows people might get to own there home.
No profit without dead children.

That’s what Fonterra thinks but this:
It’s interesting how two different organisation can have two totally different ideas about the same ‘market’ when they’re working from the same data and both could be wrong.

TV3 Management are a gang of highly paid, idiotic, prejudiced, clueless, corporate RW Nut jobs with lots of dough (including tax payer bail outs from this National Government!), but not much of brains, fairness or guts! A disgrace of a fourth estate, a supposed fourth pillar of democracy!

What else do you expect from immoral corporate elects?
Must have been some pretty dramatic polling to get the PM on to Native Affairs tonight to face the best prepared and most fearless journalist we have left, the wonderful Mihi Forbes. He looked very uncomfortable.
He just wanted to rub it in I guess, “Look, I got rid of you too. Now to get rid of those pesky weekend morning programs.”
I just posted a comment on Open Mike about the brilliant Mihi interviewing a tired scared looking Key on Native Affairs last night on Native Affairs. Repeats Wed 10:30pm.
Yes – another poor bugger didn’t get home from work today and another family weeps. How many dead bodies will the Government walk over before opening their ears to Helen Kelly’s words of wisdom?

No it is the last bunch of tax cheques being paid. The budget should drop back into deficit in the last few months.
Are you hoping Mickysavage ?
Nope just conscious of the tax flows that happen. May’s tax take will probably be OK but June will drop off.
Right. Thanks, I’m finding the whole financial aspect hard to unpack. I worry though that this is an effective piece to argue that they’ve met their longstanding surplus promise?
Shouldn’t be unless they redefine their promise which is always possible.
Nay, an inevitability!
