Pretty says how desperate National and its supporters are at the moment.
Y’all Green voters who jumped ship to Labour because you liked Jacinda better bloody well go back to Green because Labour’s progressive credentials are light blue. If they’re below 5% and we end up with a National NZ First coalition, I am blaming you. They...
"If we extend unlimited tolerance even to those who are intolerant, if we are not prepared to defend a tolerant society against the onslaught of the intolerant, then the tolerant will be destroyed, and tolerance with them. — In this formulation, I do not ...
Amusing enough that Whaleoil also carried the ad.
Another good rebuttal: http://opiniojuris.org/2017/11/28/a-shameless-attack-on-golriz-ghahraman/
And just like that, United Future became United Past.
"Let the Australians deal with it." But they're not dealing with it. They are washing their hands, and hoping it will disappear. But they forget they are actually dealing with people's lives. The lack of moral compass the Australian government has on this ...
Why do you think the country is going to be wrecked? If you wake up in 2020 and New Zealand is similar to Somalia, I'll shout you a drink. If you wake up in 2020 and New Zealand is similar to, say, Denmark, I'd say you were wrong.
"Whatever," Ha ha. That's basically admitting you lost the argument. Like people that say, "well, that's just your opinion," or, "I'm entitled to my opinion." And then you proceed to pull out a red herring—which is not entirely true anyway. You really are ...
"A majority Opposition," or a majority of voters: these are the same lines that keep getting repeated over and over. I think it's come straight out of Crosby-Textor. In what universe is 44.5% a majority? It's false. Fake news. A lie. Untrue. The amount of ...
I hope Genter will get Transport. Given her experience, it's a no-brainer.
NZDF will be happy to have a veteran, Ron Mark, as Defence Minister.
I hope someone contacts the police. I also hope the new government use their resources to stamp out this vitriol and disturbing behaviour. Political disagreement is fine. Calling people names (rather than criticism of a person's actions) is not productive,...
Are you suggesting we just put Shane in a hotel room with a TV and a taxpayer credit card for the remainder of the term? It's a small price to pay so that we don't have to listen to the garbage that comes out of his mouth.
... trust your intellectual analysis? It's BrendAn, not BrendOn. Get it right...
I don't see how this could be sustainable for NZ First (Armstrong's assertion). There was a Colmar Brunton poll done in the last couple of days that suggested two-thirds of NZ First voters want to see NZ First support a Labour-led government. It seems ...
National is essentially bereft of friends.
If the Greens work with National, I will change my vote to Labour.
"I believe 1923 elections in the UK was such a case" The MacDonald Ministry didn't exactly end well...
I think whatever happens, NZ First is going to suck the neoliberal air out of National and Act. Sure, it won't be real progressivism, but National will be damaged goods after 12 months. If they do stitch together a government from National, NZ First, ACT, ...
Shannon has my vote. Coleman is heartless. Will party vote Green. I always ceremoniously leave my voting until election day, when I go to the polling booth with my wife, so we can vote exactly the same. I'm hoping for the Greens to crack at least the 6%. ...
Stop shopping there. Plenty of other great second hand stores in Auckland. I like the Clothing Collective in Birkenhead.
I heartily endorse this message.
Anyone know when the next Roy Morgan poll is out? They seem to be far less frequent.
He didn't have ties to the Roger Douglas inner circle?
Rob Campbell will still be voting National I bet.
If you're a regular Green voter that has changed to Labour: go back to Green or else you won't get the progressive government you wanted, hence the reason you've voted Green.
From my semi-infrequently updated blog. Might be some formatting glitches. https://potentialhumanist.blogspot.co.nz/2017/09/how-does-labour-win-election-strategic.html With all the water that has passed under the bridge in the last month or so of New ...
I see that Golriz posted this at 4:20. Whatchu tryna say gurl?
You mean National voters (in Ohariu).
So what will become of United Future? For the last 3 terms the party has been a one-man National puppet. The share of their vote has dropped for the last four consecutive elections, and from 2011 to 2014 the part lost two-thirds of its party vote from ...
Cats, with their independent spirit and beguiling purrs, have captured the hearts of humans for millennia. In New Zealand, felines are no exception, boasting the highest national cat ownership rate globally [definition cat nz cat foundation]. An estimated 1.134 million pet cats grace Kiwi households, compared to 683,000 dogs ...
