Well done to those who attended Dawn parade. Those of you who did attend showed more respect than former PM Helen Clark who refused to attend dawn parade. It seemed that she could not be bothered getting out of bed early on that one day of the year. [r0b: ...
Looks like another three more years of a fantastic National government. If you guys had just kept Shearer.....
61-39 Key murdered Cunliffe. I do wonder how many votes Cunliffe lost for Labour tonight, clearly the days "boot camp" did not work. Hosking went very soft on Cunliffe, had be been more even handed it would have been even more of a victory for Key.
Campbell puts his personal preferences to one side?.....You're kidding right? Campbell makes Hosking look like a hard left communist. He (Campbell) has been on a crusade for six years against the government yet you guys see nothing wrong with him ...
Or the anonymous donors that Cunliffe will not tell us about.
"The people on welfare would get a job – if there were any available." There are jobs available, most of those who have been on the dole long term have no desire to ever work.
But they do exist Stephanie, you know it and more importantly, the public know it. The longer people like you insist that Labour are on the right track the longer you will stay an insignificance to the people of NZ. How will you feel when the Greens become...
Good on you Stephanie. I like it when people stick their head in the sand. Of course what you will not admit to me is that I am right, and, that you know I am right. Like it or not O'Conner was also right, that is how the public see Labour.
The Labour boat has well and truly sailed. For Labour to be any chance at this election (and the next) it needed to have a clean out in 2008. You guys needed to listen to what Kiwis wanted. Even I would not say that people like Goff and King have not made ...
OAB Again you make statements that simply do not stand up to any type of truth test. Parasites are the same irrespective of who holds the treasury benches. Labour might "create" jobs in the government sector (the best paying ones always going to loyal ...
"Unions are and were democratic organisations" Only somebody in their 20's could make such a statement. Had you actually lived through the days of compulsory unionism, and the very real threats of violence that were directed against those who dared speak ...
OAB Interesting comments. What makes them so interesting is that they come from a person of the left. The left side of politics has always been, and will always remain, the last bastion of hatred and bigotry. You guys hate the "rich", you hate big business...
Viper I note that you still cannot tell me why $54k is not enough.
Felix I attack him because he is without doubt the most unlikable person to ever grace the political stage in this nations history, and I must admit, that I really enjoy rubbing Cunliffes nose in it. Do I fear him?, hell no. The man is a gift to the right ...
Seen the latest poll comrades? David Cunliffe really is the best thing that has happened to NZ in a very long time.
The right fear Cunliffe? You're joking. He is the best thing that ever happened to us.
Cunliffe is being attacked by his own caucus Micky. While I do agree with those who say that Labour is totally out of touch with the people of NZ one would have to say that on the issue of Cunliffe's unpopularity the caucus are very much in agreement with ...
Viper Would it not be much easier for you to advocate nationalisation of all industry and business? After all, if you are going to deny them their profits then it makes no sense for them to remain in the NZ market given our insignificance. I am sure that ...
Draco I do not despise the young. I despise bludgers and parasites. Not just benefit parasites but also those who reach middle age having done nothing to make themselves more employable and then moan about being in the minimum wage. If we had more people ...
Blue Leopard Your reasoning falls at the first hurdle. Given that you support a "progressive" tax system then the man who built the factory paid far more than the workers under him who built the roads. Those at the bottom of the heap in a "progressive" tax...
Viper I am well aware of what you said, I did not ask you what you, said I asked why you said it. I am genuinely interested in your reasoning, if (as you say) you do not want to raise taxes simply out of envy then I really would like to know why you think ...
See, only a socialist would think or speak like that. Somebody who is not going to rely on others for the rest of their lives would already have made provision for their retirement.
Why do you say that Viper ? (other than out of pure envy for those who earn a big wage) If somebody earns $200K or so and pays nearly $54k a year in tax is that not enough in your book?
"Meanwhile those on low incomes tend to just give up, and stop voting, knowing pollies are just not working for them." Except in NZ where we have WFF. Those who have had kids, or have no more than they can afford end up paying for other peoples kids.
So those who get the most from the public purse also pay the most into it. Sounds like a good deal to me.
Very well said Harriet.
All reports would suggest that the best thing Cunliffe could do is stay away. I do wonder how Labour followers are going to feel when the Greens are the official opposition after September 20th.
I guess it is much easier to stand in the middle of a town centre waving a placard than it is to knock on doors and defend a leader who is sorry for being born a male?
I see that David Cunliffe is really making his mark as Labour leader. All the way down to 23.5%. Cunliffe really is the best thing that ever happened to the National Party.
I have answered the question Micky. Now, how about you answer mine? Why are you so intent on defending drop kick parents?
One Anonymous Idiot. So if we gave the parents of every school child one million dollars they would all produce intellectual geniuses? Only a brain dead socialist could think like that.
