I'm out there door knocking every Saturday, however after last night the shine really came off her,I'll still door knock but I don't think I can vote for a party rallying for the youth vote but then says it wants to chuck stoners in rehab. Thats worse than...

Yay. after 9 years labour has an actual real life leader not a stuttering timid seat warmer. However Grant Robertson must be ousted from the party he is a compulsive backstabber who has now played a hand in destroying several consecutive leaders.
I don't think Little can stay on after his comments on sunday. I believe Ardern can get the party up to 30s because she has a personality and popularity he simply doesn't. The biggest problem is he'd be on all the billboards. Also labours policy are so meh...
Alternatively Little goes to caucus tomorrow morning challenges them to make a move, announces a press conference and makes it look like hes about to resign, the press attention will be crazy, instead of resigning does a firey angry speech about why he ...
This time tomorrow Jacinda Ardern will be leader of the labour party, as someone whose been calling for littles resignation for well over a year this is bittersweet as at best we hold our current seats. Little is half as popular as cunliffe. Should have ...
Labour won't ditch the centerism thats killing them. They wouldn't know a left winh policy if it bit them. They've sleep walked for the last 3 years ignoring every poll, every international election and frankly the only thing left is for labour to try hold...
50 odd days till election yes the polls matter, Oh come on labour has said for three years Andrew Little's polling doesn't matter. ..guess what it does. They are headed for their worst electoral results in history and it breaks my heart. So much for that ...
To be fair, labour and the greens are doing strategic voting too in dunnes electorate (i would have preferred chch central and auckland central too) .... electorate deals are a reality why is the left still struggling to be strategic we've had since 2011 ...
Boom. This settles it, I'm officially voting green. Red for the electorate of course!
Labour should be going all out for the 800,000 non voters. It'll have more of a chance with them than converting nat voters. There's an untapped well of support for a change in the status quo if labour could bring more people into the process. If labour ...
I won't be voting bloody national or any party that could work with them which means im stuck with red/green doesn't mean I can't criticize their lack of courage.
Also yeah I got very grumpy and apologize for my hate fest but my god am i sick of being sneered at for suggesting labour actually be a party that actually does something about the rampant inequality in nz and im sick to death of hearing about immigration....
I'll never vote tory or a party that supports them. I like my lab candidate but am completely disillusioned with labour and unfortunately the mou has tied the greens to the center.i hope for a change of govt but don't see it on the cards. Also bugger all ...
I think labour is headed for a 4th election where it loses seats. I'm sick and tired of hearing about immigration and these piddly incremental policies that will do nothing meaningful to people's lives. It has learned nothing from corbyn / Sanders and ...
At some point during the comments by left wingers , I realized that the nz left is truly the scum of the earth. Instead of hearing about how 10% of the country owns more wealth than the other 90 % or anything inspiring like the Sanders or the Corbyns all ...
The greens are not the hope of the left, Let's be serious this is a party planning on positioning itself in between labour and national if labour doesn't form a govt this year. At the end of the next election labour if not in power for the first time in 9 ...
Labours an interesting kettle of fish, its grassroots are extremely socialist but its caucus is liberal. Labour has been trying, its been purging neoliberal mps like goff,king,shearer id like to see the back of mallard and woods though. If labour loses the...
Lets be clear, they messed up big time. They allowed the narrative to be that the Greens were supporting national and that the budget is somehow a left wing budget. Supporting the accommodation suppliment is subsidizing high rents for greedy landlords who ...
Um forgive me if I'm wrong but the message of this blog appears to be saying that voters want style over substance? Macron didn't win because he was well liked it was to reject a fascist. 37% of registered voters didn't vote for either 12% spoiled rheir ...
I see now, still i think he should just go. Still think its foolish for labour not to have given Duncan a more guaranteed list spot, if only to have a labour face in chch central which in my opinion is important but oh well. Here's to him taking that seat ...
If Duncan Webb loses his seat chch central will have had zero representation from an mp representing the poor and working class for 9 years at the next election. During a major rebuild. I'm sorry but goix god thats foolish and irresponsible. He should be ...
Interesting list lots of new faces. I am disappointed with Duncan Webbs placing as I think he will bring such a great set of skills to the party and that chch central needs a labour mp with his experience in fighting the nats on the rebuild and I think ...
I'm not sure how saying I'm reluctantly supporting the l/g alliance makes me a bernie or buster. Reluctantly. Just like reluctantly wanted hillary to win. Labour are doing appalling imho, sucking up to police, racists and the willie jacksons and blokey ...
Still actively support a progressive govt and volunteer in ky local labour candidates campaign Still many labour mps preferred a third term of national to a progressive govt and leaked and leaked. To me the labours neoliberal mps were the Bernie or busters...
I really liked David and wont be forgetting how labour treated him. Lets never forget the conspiracy between the likes of Annette King, Mallard, Dyson, Goff and co to undermine the party and sabotage the election campaign. All should have been expelled. ...
Regardless, He should step aside and Ardern should be anointed. Thats what the people want noone wants Andrew He's bloody useless accross the board. Ardern has been in parliament as long as he has and unlike the rest of caucus is actually popular. She ...
Ewww Geoffrey Palmer. The man who said "he had a great deal of fun reforming nz" he had fun whilst so many people committed suicide because they lost everything due to his government. Seems like a lovely chap. Neoliberalism is disgusting.
I hope both parties fall apart. Hone is a wanker, sure he's left but he's still a wanker. Go Kelvin, I also think labour is foolish for not putting mps like Kelvin and Nanaia on the list quite idiotic imo. As for the maori party as far as im concerned i ...
I think thats a strong list that represents the whole country and isnt auckland. The spin off however seems to think the top 14 should be in auckland. Ick I genuinely love this list. Here's hoping they finally get to 15% and finally serve in cabinet #...
Let them eat cake
