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. ...
The server will be getting hardware changes this evening starting at 10pm NZDT.
The site will be off line for some hours.
After seeing Hootons diarrhea in the fish wrap this morning I wouldn’t be surprised if he isn’t the Moff's ideas man. Their cynical attack commentary on the PM have very similar tones.
“she does not have the knowledge, background, intellect or skill to win a contentious policy debate…….”
I would add Hoskings “middle NZ” won’t accept that nonsense.
He's on the money though.
The celebrity PM is such a flake, sooner she moves onto the UN, the better it will be for NZ.
Even though the guy’s a complete clown I think I’d prefer Little to Ardern at least he’d be interested in doing the PM job.
Robertson would be another choice if Little didn’t want to lead, anyone would be better than Ardern.
You’re dreaming if you think she’ll conveniently bugger off to the UN or some other global agency. Like that dumbfuck Hawkesby in the Herald such thinking betrays your real assessment of the situation.
Dream on BM . The PM is anything but a flake. Intelligent, socially and emotionally intelligent.
"Anyone would be better than Ardern" . That's from your point of view, because you know she will win the next election.
What's Ardern not doing that she should be as PM?
The basics, this government is like a really bad tv reality show.
As Michael Bassett said
Quoting Michael Bassett's opinion piece…..yawn……
Just that boring meme the right are trying to spin at the moment "Jacinda's doesn't know what she's doing"………or in your words is a flake. Flake = meaningless label.
Dream on BM. She will romp home next election. Suck it up…….
Bassett was an old Neoliberal minus a brain ?
"doesn’t understand the historical relationships between New Zealand and the Pacific"
Unlikely – her family has been involved in the Pacific for quite some time – Niue in particular. More likely the writer is making shit up.
The only true measure of historical knowledge is a PhD, obviously.
Freeman Dyson Reckons they(phd) are a waste of time ,and simply a union card (or a certificate of attendance) .

Helen Clark before she entered politics, was a lecturer in politics, before that she was a student .There ends the history.
Not bad, but to be proud of not having a PhD is the exact opposite of the intellectual snobbery I was alluding to @ 1.1.2.1.2.1 and, in my view, an equally silly position to hold.
Clarke never had any real world practical experience ?
I know people with PhD's and they don't know shit, Clarke was a Snowflake like Basset ?
Kat, All of them are "yesterday's news". not a fresh idea anywhere.
Patricia, you are not wrong, the only way they would have a "fresh idea" is to steal one.
Kat lol lol ha ha yes too true.!! And led by a muppet!!
All of them were a waste of space and fresh air.
Next Newspoll on the Aussie election will be interesting. There’s a sense that Shorten has underperformed in the first week and Easter and ANZAC Day have interrupted the flow of the campaign, which may be to Morrison’s advantage.
Now this is a good idea. Hope that's cash 🙂

Good Idea we should do a trial in Auckland.
Eh. Two links from the same site in one evening. Disturbing story which doesn't seem like it will end well.
