The current rise of populism challenges the way we think about peopleâs 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. ...

Interesting report on the scuttlebutt wires today that the MSD report suggesting a carve up conservation land had a DOC logo on it. Trying to justify the unjustifiable, perhaps.?
Also interesting that Tourism NZ has been completely quiet on this suggested destruction of one of their finest assets.
Yes, Minister!
The right has since time immemorial (often justifiably) labelled the left with the epithet “Loony Left”. Donnys latest little silliness leaves me stuck for a similar epithet, any suggestions?
ridiculous right?
Rabid, I think is the right word.
Wretched, clueless fuckwits?
Oh you want a catchy alliterative one? Sorry….
Just drop that W and decide on tense.
The vomited or the vomiting? I think I prefer ‘The Retching Right’
Then of course there is the Far Retching Right.
Maybe even leave the ‘right’ out altogether. Then we can accurately refer to retched policy….which is synonymous with the Tories anyway
It says in my VLWC Handbook that “rabid right” is the approved term.
LOL đ
Would need to start with R for alliteration wouldnt it?
1 Ratfink Right – unreliable, lying
2 Rack-renter Right – too long, but referring to their habit of screwing the poor and any others with money they can get their hands on.
realistic right
Never happen – the right tend to ignore reality as it gets in the way of their delusional beliefs.
Nutty Neolibs?
Raving Reactionaries?
Execrable Extreme Right?
Mike Moore has given Green ideology a good old godwinning

Mike Moore proving he’s totally ignorant of the facts as usual.
I go for rancid – smelling or tasting like rank stale fat, stinking.
How about Right Rorters?
Thanks all, now armed and dangerous, much appreciated…LOL
Listening to Dr Brash (hey dr, I’ve got an ingrown toenail) try and explain the unexplainable I came to the same conclusion I came to in the 90’s when the BRT was slicingf and dicing the economy.
All the proposals he is putting up are just elaborate smokescreens to disguise the appropriation of state assets into private hands.
Brash and his cronies are incorrigible. They call themselves businessmen but they have never made a business. They are just accountants working schemes of dubious legality to enrich themselves.
cloaking their actions in their ideological mumbo jumbo will never disguise the fact that they are just white collar thieves.
I’m not even sure if they’re accountants but their schemes are all dubious and tend to channel all the wealth to themselves and their owners/mates.
