I can't find a record of Robinson's qualifications. What is her Phd in - spin?
Ardern should gift Wellington Central to James Shaw if the polls stay this tight. It could mean not having to put up with NZF in government. As time goes on and Labour's vote creeps over 40% (and I think it will), National's vote will start reducing in ...
The Democrats are hardly Left Wing. More like Centre-Right.
Well said Rosie. It also depends if the doctors will prescribe those drugs or not. Some are cruel.
Clinton (with the support of the BBC it seems) is trying to tarnish Sanders on the issue of gun control. http://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-35364868 Although Sanders may have been on the wrong side in the past on this issue there is no evidence that he is ...
Peter Garrett was a complete disaster as a cabinet minister so I would not quote him as a reliable source on Rudd. I admire Clark most for her enlightened Tertiary education policies which have been rapidly stripped away by Joyce.
Change the debate - governments are allowed to have deficits whereas private borrowers are not. There is no correlation between the two. The reason surpluses are fashional is due to supply-side economics. The austerity model is flawed and it is up to ...
I was not impressed by Natalie Bennett in the debate. Sturgeon and Leanne Wood were outstanding. Bennett seemed to grate somehow - much more than our NZ Green leaders do. I will be interested to see if she wins her seat.
Joyce is just spinning as usual. The rest of the country feels the same way about National as well!
Utter tripe Rolf. New Zealand is nowhere near the world's highest taxed country. Try Denmark for that. Who taught you how to spell btw?
There is a very nasty culture in WINZ which has worsened recently. They have people employed to call clients and encorage them to drop their appeals. National also stacks the review boards with party hacks. They do not instruct doctors how to fill out ...
No - I leave rugby to the right wingers like you. It's not my sport - never watch it never played it.
Simple Simon= Joyce staffer - or should I say stuffer? And a rugby-head to boot. Get thee to Whaleoil!
Simple Simon = typical Tory troll.
What I mean is that whatever reason Joe Public loves Key but Joyce is as unelectable as Brash.
I am surprised that a literate man would use the term 'Hard Left' to describe Mandy. There is no 'Hard Left' in New Zealand. Such a term would describe Maoists in India or in Nepal who advocate the overthrow of government with arms. Describing peaceful ...
Joyce is the main architect of this disaster. Key may be untouchable but Joyce is not. The left need to target this Machiavellian puppeteer far more effectively.
+ 100 Venezia!
Rubbish! 'Broard support' indeed! Tory troll perhaps? Tories can't spell!
It may be a great policy CV but the voters will not buy it and the vote going public are not educated enough to realise the advantages. I feel sorry for Tony Milne who I voted for in my electorate and I am very annoyed that I have to put up with a National...
I don't think the campaign was a mess at all. Some policies were wrong but I think DC delivered them quite well. A CGT in NZ is an indefensible policy at the moment and I hope David Parker realises that now. Shearer would be a disaster (again) but perhaps ...
CGT policy and raising retirement age are unelectable policies and should be dropped. I don't deny that they are good policies but the voters that bother to turn out will not support them. Eligible voters not on the electoral roll must be chased and fined....
I was shocked when she became my MP. Hope she's low enough on the list to be ejected completely.
I mostly agree with you Wayne - and I am usually much further left than you on most issues. However the problem is not Russia - it is Putin and his circle. Pressure the Ukrainians to agree on federalisation and the continuation of Russian as an official ...
Kick the right wing career politicians out of Labour including Shearer. Cunliffe can deliver for the left.
Get rid of Shearer and clear out the front bench - put King, Goff, Mallard on the back benches - their time is over.
It is realpolitik - Rudd would have no chance to be elected if he didn't have a strong refugee policy. The Gillard government was incompetent (as are the state Liberal governments at the moment) and disadvantaged many of the poor in Australia. Rudd is ...

+1 xtasy. Don't forget he has been Minister of Tertiary Education too. He has been a disaster for Canterbury University and the sector generally.
Peter Dunne certainly got a free university education - perhaps we should ask him if he still supports the IRA?
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 ...
