Winston won't play third wheel to the Greens, and the Greens won't be happy to play third wheel to a smaller party in parliament, it's a relationship doomed to fail. By your own numbers, National could govern with NZ First support alone, seems far more ...
"Winston and the NZF Caucus will decide what is best for the country" Winston will decide whats best for Winston. "his policies are more aligned to Labour and the Greens than the neoliberal free market Natzis" His policies are more aligned to Labour and ...
Highly unlikely he will go with Labour, NZ First couldn't even reach the 5% threshold after last time that happened. More likely he would choose to be the second largest party in a coalition than the third wheel. See how that works? Winston will play ...
That's a very FPP mindset you have there. By your logic people should only vote Labour or National, remembering that the Labour/Greens MOU expires on election day, so no guarantees what will happen after that...
"unknowing how he stands will put anybody off who is determined to change this Government" Do you really think that a significant number of people actually vote to 'change the government'? People vote for all sorts of reasons, policy platforms, personality...
"So Nazis are really just like Christians?" If you compare the Crusades to WWII then there are definitely historical similarities there, yes.
It seems to be catching on, even TS authors are starting to pick up on it: https://thestandard.org.nz/free-speech-vs-hate-speech/#comment-1305811
"Dompost wrote it. Farrar understood it." Dompost wrote it, confirming the writers bias, Farrar understood it in an international context and called out the writer based on their use. So zero from two so far. CV used it when he was a Labour Party member, ...
Correct. I have never had a great understanding of the English language, science and statistics have always been my stronger point. This leads me to the use of far more direct language in my day-to-day life, not dissimilar to that shown above. I true to be...
"Are you aware what the term “at the very least” means? As in “used at the very least by […]”?" In this case it seems to mean a loophole to back out of your stance when it suits... So now that you are suggesting that people other than the 'left' use the ...
"Not sure about Gower’s obsession with “the vibe” – I suspect that voters may be more interested in housing, jobs, alleviating poverty, and clean water" Yes, but people don't believe the majority of what politicians say (for good reason, due to actions on ...
Red, your obviously a troll for C & T, please remember that National have had 8 years, and what have they achieved, NOTHING apart from creating a wider Disparity amongst all, the working poor will rise up & Bible Bill & "the Elephant in the room" will both...
Okay, my understanding is that AB is trying to state that Farrar is in the wrong here because the National Party named itself the National Party in 1936, rather than name themselves after a British political party which dissolved in 1834. Is that a fair ...
"That really is the basic data I’m working from: Farrar understands A) that the dompost editorial was talking about the nats when it used the term “tory”; and B) that this is a term used at the very least by “the left”. Not the “UK left”, not the “English...
"And yet when Farrar reads it in the dom-post, he reads it as referring to the National Party (despite his sympathies for the UK conservatives)." I still haven't seen the Dom Post editorial (no links anywhere in the post even though they would be more than...
??? I actually have no idea what your comment relates too at all, other than trying to shoehorn National and Tory into a sentence.
You commies are all the same aren't you, once reality is pointed out you revert to getting personal
Tories are generally Anglican, Bill English is Catholic, John Key is Jewish, even the basics of Toryism fails you
"Funny how sensitive all the Tory fluff bunnies get when you call a spade, a spade" The thing is, you are calling a spade a hacksaw... both tools, but have completely different names where I come from.
Huh, I couldn't find a link to the Dom Post editorial Farrar was referring too, I clearly shouldn't assume as I thought it must have been relating to a NZ politician which is why he tweeted about it. If I had known it was relating to a UK politician I ...
Natwatch, you seem to have missed this link: https://twitter.com/FoxyLustyGrover/status/836432927130968064/photo/1 Are you suggesting David Farrar is: a) A member or supporter of the UK Conservative Party or b) A colonist who supported the British side ...
I could see that happening, the greens have been happy to sit outside of cabinet in the past. They will be so happy with the opportunity to 'change the government' they will let Labour walk all over them...again
Not as third choice behind the greens he won't
I don't suspect that The Herald is widely read in Taranaki, so no, I don't think it's all that helpful. Andrew Little's track record at election time doesn't really bode well for you though does it?
Here are some FACTS for you Leftie: In 2008 the New Plymouth electorate seat was neck and neck between the Labour MP and the National MP. Jonathan young won by 105 votes. In 2011 Andrew Little ran for the New Plymouth seat for Labour, Jonathan young won by...
PM -"The preferred Prime Minister question is a farce. It’s even more of a farce under MMP, but even under FPP it was hardly different from the question “Do you know who the current Prime Minister is?”" Can you please explain to me why John Key was leading...
Not true, John Key overtook Helen Clark as preferred PM 18 months out from the 2008 election: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opinion_polling_for_the_New_Zealand_general_election,_2008
“The speed of Key’s drop in the preferred Prime Minister rankings contrasts with that of former Labour leader Helen Clark who continued to poll fairly highly for months after resigning.” Perhaps that is because National had a succession plan, so National ...
According to my link "The project proposes the redevelopment of 156 properties to create at least 260 new homes" Comprehension obviously not a strong point. "Not to mention that HNZ still have right of access to install their utilities across the property,...
Is her property on the very outskirt of the development? No proposed roads / water / power / fibre needs to be run through that property? Thanks for clearing that up McFlock, I hadn't seen the full subdivision plans. I hope she won't be too put out by ...
Exactly, thank you Antoine.
