Maybe Bridges' wife prefers him to be in Wellington for long periods, in order to retain her sanity, so she encourages these 1000 km round trips? Just sayin'
Wayne, in one post you have just destroyed the whole basis of your 'neo lib, free market, small government, privatisation, low taxes' ideology. You have confirmed what we Social Democrats have always known - every civilised society needs a strong, active, ...
Never underestimate the power of big, humanitarian Government, to do good.
Bridges is a fool. His Party may have conveniently forgotten the Leaky Building fiasco, (costing $47 B & rising ) & the Pike River tragedy, but the rest of us haven't
The answer is simple - the Goverment becomes the largest single landlord in NZ, setting the standard that private landlords have to follow & building a huge real estate asset that's too big for the Nats to even think of privatising. Yes, it will take some ...
I can't believe your naivety, Gossy. The Tories overall, eternal aim is to recreate a Dickensian society in the UK, by transferring as much wealth as possible from middle & lower income earners, to themselves at the top of the food chain, cementing their ...
OK Gosman, you're right wing, so tell us why you hate Corban & try to be objective - none of your foam flecked hysteria
Sanctuary, what a brilliant analysis of the UK today! Your intelligence & insight have sparked Gosman's right wing diatribe & exposed it for the facile nonsense that it is.
Just listened to Kim Hill's interview with Bridges. I cannot believe that a jibbering, brainless fool like Bridges is the best leader that the National Party can produce. If Bridges is their best, then the rest of the Nat caucus is clearly full of joe ...
I would favour Jacinda any day, rather than the brain dead yapping hyena who leads the National Party
Tamihere's campaign is being run by Michelle Boag - that means that he's in bed with a National Party Bezelebub
The 2 American demographic trends that terrifies Trump & his fellow pale, stale, males who dominate the institutions of the USA, (Supreme Court, Congress, Military, State Govenors, Wall St, etc.) is firstly, the millenials will out number the baby boomers ...
For the love of god, a left wing government will never build enough houses if it's relying on private sector builders. We urgently need to re-establish the Ministry of Works as the state agency leading the house building program, (if private builders want ...
Luxon is simply John Key mark 2. You claim he 'has the impressive marketing tools one could wish for in a politician.' FFS, we don't need a politician with 'marketing tools' - Key had plenty of those & nothing else. We need leaders like Jacinda - ...
National's talent pool is different to most other parties, because when, like National, you have been enslaved for the last 30 years to the vile doctrine of neo liberalism, you finally reach the bottom of the barrel. National is now like Act before it ...
What this says to NZ is that National, the biggest caucus in Parliament, is so full of Joe averages & useless time servers that they need an elaborate scheme to helicopter in a potential leader from outside - what a bunch of losers
An important fact to bear in mind is that, unlike the Tories, in a hung parliament scenario, Corbyn is prepared to negotiate a coalition deal with the Lib Dems, the SNP & the Greens in order to put a parliamentary majority together
Business & personal debt is not the responsibility of Government
It used to be said that the Left 'never multiplies, it only divides'. It seems that we can now apply this description to the growing number of loony, Right wing, so called Christian parties emerging onto the political landscape. I pray that they all cancel...
The Right wing have been rorting an electoral loop hole for years, (Epsom seat). Time to close the loop hole & keep the pricks honest
The Government needs to move decisively on this - amend electoral law to require any party which wins 1 seat to also reach the NZ wide 5% threshold in the Party vote in order to bring other MP's into Parliament. Why lower the 5% threshold, just because ...
The tragedy is that the Left, long ago, gave up defending the concept of tax as the hall mark of a civilised society. We've allowed whining, entitled Right wingers to demand everything they can from the public sector, (first class schools, roads, health ...
Family First are just another National Party front, like the Taxpayers Union. Family First don't give a shit about families sleeping in cars, or parents holding down 2 or 3 jobs to make ends meet, or families paying high rent for an unsafe rental property....
Wayne, the over riding fact is this - after 35 years of vile neo liberal policies, (based on greed & social Darwinism) being foisted on the Western world, people have had a gutsful of being trickled down on. Their political reactions during this time have ...
Talley's are the worst employers in NZ. That's why Key knighted Peter Talley
+1 Jenny! China is our second biggest trading partner & the USA buys sweet FA from us. Why do we still grovel to the American war machine? We need to be non aligned & trade with anyone who wants to trade with us I challenge any hawk to specify the benefits...
During the recent Northcote by-election which brought Bidois into Parliament, Bidois was quoted on many issues. Everything he said was either contradictory, ill informed, or downright moronic. Not the sharpest knife in National's drawer. The next National ...
Better to be a 'World Class Public Landlord' than the sort of sociopaths who drove housing policy under Bennett & Key
Re NZTA, as well as public transport & motorways, NZTA now has railway development as part of its remit - joined up thinking!
Collins' address to the Whanganui pensioners was unbelievably inept, incoherent & downright loony. She makes Bridges sound like someone with a golden tongue
An ex priest living in the waterfront suburbs of East Auckland - yep, should have as much broad appeal as National's last failed mayoral candidate
