There are many in NZ Labour who believe the membership is not good enough for the Parliamentary Labour Party with which we are blessed.
English Labour MPs are refusing to engage with the membership. "Labour has suspended all local party meetings until the high-stakes leadership contest has been completed to curb the levels of abuse faced by MPs, the Huffington Post UK can reveal." http://...
Keith Vaz, Chuka Umunna and Tories on the commons home affairs select committee questioned Jeremy Corbyn about anti-semitism the other day. Listen to the pod cast link below. They are utterly disrespectful and nasty towards Corbyn. They speak to him as ...
The Suicide Squad http://wingsoverscotland.com/the-suicide-squad/#more-86234 13. At some point during this mayhem – next week, to be precise – the Chilcot Report will be released, setting off a fresh bout of internecine warfare within the party. Read all ...
Can we try that in Wellington Central?
Bollox. The SNP does not courtesy to any knobs. You are a bigoted troll. Fuck off dukeofurl
After the English Voted for Brexit, Independence for Scotland and a union in Ireland are imperatives rather than options or nice-to-haves. The English Nationalists have made their bed: they will now get the little country they want.
Dublin will pitch to those banks to move their operations there. Scotland is proposing that it voted to remain in the EU and that's it's next referendum is to reinforce Remain in EU and to let England going its own merry/weird way into nowhere. Scotland ...
Deep. Cameron. Deep. I wait for your next profound utterance.
Ohariu and Northland are exceptions. Any other electorate deals with the Greens will work to Labours disadvantage. Labour is the Official Oposition and must go into the campaign planning to be the lightening rod of opposition to the National Party. Any ...
I'm surprised that the Greens are portrayed by the media as a wild left wing party. I heard Guyon Espiner on that tack this morning on RNZ. I view the Greens as a white middle class, middle aged conservative party with NIMBY written through its core. They ...

Westminster Social Engineering The mortality rate is 15 percent higher in Glasgow across all social classes and ages, while premature mortality (dying under 65) is 30 percent higher, and much higher among the poorest in the city. The so-called 'Glasgow ...
Cunliffe getting closer to claiming a Nat scalp. Louise Upson might well become too much of an embarrassment to the Nats at the rate Cunkiffe is skewing her. Cunliffe has made her look incompetent is her handling of the Onetai Farm purchase by the dodgy ...
Media NZ and Wellington politicos promote an Anglo centric culture. A common comment during the flag referendum was "....died for the flag". The daily feed of royal family tripe, the daily use of London news-sources, the deference towards titles: these are...
Parker because he is a ditherer, lacks fortitude, sold his soul to the right-wing and then let them fuck him over and be replaced by Shearer. Parker stands for nothing.
You profuse charm is only exceeded by your abundant bigotry. Chooky
There will be a two or more events in the next 5-10 year that could provide the lubricant for a shift to a "Republic of Aotearoa". 1. As mentioned above the current English monarch will end her reign. Many folk are comfortable with her. Any replacement ...
Key would see signing the TPPA as a significant milestone in career, CV and obituary. Not signing it works have lost him the JP Morgan level directorships he hopes to gather. Grosser? A shot at BIG international Civil Servant job and a couple of ...
Little has to drop Shearer from any spokesman role and sanction him if Shearer votes for TPP.
The Union Flag will be dropped in a few years when the 1707 Act of Union of Scotland and England is repealed. The Flag will become a historic artefact at that point. NZ will have to choose a new flag at that point to replace the current one if they decide ...
1. You stated that the ABCers are the biggest camp. 2. You stated that they can choose the Deputy, no matter who Little wants. 3. If they can dictate the Deputy and are the biggest camp ergo they can dictate the other positions.
24 November 2014 at 9:05 am Cheers, weka and karol. I think the problem with some of the comments around the deputy’s position is the ignorance about the process. Little can certainly nominate someone, but it’s a caucus decision, not his. And the numbers ...
Sadly yes. Seemly Key us his own man and is comfortable with having complex and interesting people working in his team. Sadly Little had his team dictated to him by the ABCs according to TRP.
News just out. Key replaces Lotu-liga with Collins. Little replaces Cosgrove with Cunliffe
Key was able to accommodate English, a previous leader, into his cabinet and it worked for him. Key will be able to accommodate Collins and make it work. Hint to Andrew Little. Shafting Cunliffe was not smart, besides being ugly. Take s leaf out of Key's ...
Some very interesting and prescient posts were made on Open Mike in late November 2014, just after Little beat Robertson with the help of the membership.
Cunliffe was born Labour and will die Labour. He would never ever join another party. While some Green values overlap or are complimentary to those of Labour the two parties are different. No no no. Cunliffe is not leaving Labour. All of us should remain ...
Nah. He is a dedicated man. Labour friends in New Lynn tell me he is fully committed to making a positive contribution to the Labour Party and to New Zealand. Why should he go? He is a great man who had success in every Party role but one. Why should he go...
We should be shouting for David Cunliffe to stay. He is young talented hard-working and his electorate love him. The real Labour Party needs him and more with values, vision. talent and the will to win. This is punishment to those of us who voted for the ...
Anne, Do you invite people to your home who are fully dedicated to damaging your family? Douglas and Bassett are enemies of Labour. Only an idiot or a cuckoo would be party to inviting them into a Labour event.
