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. ...

Well, well.
What are the chances that Phil Twyford will be heading upstairs in the Beehive and demanding that the PM packs her bags?
After all, if it is good enough to sack the head of the CAA for carrying out a cover-up it should be good enough for Ms Ardern.
"Nigel Gould, the chair of the embattled Civil Aviation Authority, has resigned at the request of Transport Minister Phil Twyford.
Gould's resignation comes after a Newshub investigation led to multiple current and former employees making complaints about sexual harrassment and bullying.
Newshub reported that those complaints were "covered up" by the CAA."
It certainly sounds like the material coming out of the PM's Office doesn't it?

nah not really – your mind is revealed though – probably not such a great thing tbh
Jacinda said in the House today in response to a P Bennet question that she would take action if there was any reports of misdeeds to deal to. It left Paula stumped.

Rat-trapping vegan!

Very cool. I like how he differentiates between vegan and wholefood vegan too.
"His tip for going, and staying, vegan? "You go cold turkey," he said. "
Ha!
lol, I saw that.
Paula Bennett has just discovered in the house today that she is in a void with a dead cat.
https://www.parliament.nz/en/watch-parliament/ondemand?itemId=208343
man she is a void all right – her body language is weird – that cutting gesture – wtf – she's losing it from fear of winnie – loving it
Sadly for Bennett (and we who pay her salary) her raison d'être in the National party is about cheer leading, innuendo and playing politics…..utterly nothing of any substance.
Ummm…

No hope for the world
The part-time leader of the opposition was making noises at an Infrastructure NZ event on Wednesday, hoping to fleece someone for party donations.
The temporary deputy leader, petulant Paula, was leading the Nats circus in Question Time. Her amateur dramatics were amusing, but overall it was somewhat predictable and disappointing.
When Paula is sacrificed for the greater good of the National Party and is backstabbed to settle some inconvenient legal issues, she could get a small acting role on the TV series "Westside". She wouldn't even need the Wardrobe Department; her leopard-prints would be just perfect.
Anyway, I hope Simon turns up to Question Time on Thursday because his comedy routine is outstanding.
A song especially for Simon. At 6%, Mr popular may as well be a loner.
