Sorry, I beg to differ with all that commentary but, regardless of the motives, it was a poorly timed and naive move without which the left might have been assuming the Treasury benches sans NZ First. I'm not arguing with the fact she did it, the fact she ...
Once was Tim - me too! I thought I was alone. He made my skin crawl.
Loving it. I have the popcorn out. It would make my day to see the smirks wiped off the faces of Born to Rule types such as Collins and Joyce, and incompetent, "pull up the ladder" types like Bennett.
@WKate...totally agree!
Agreed @tracey. He was quoting some election in1949!!!! Well before the MMP world. Dinosaur....
@nzsage - He had great volunteers helping him đđ His opponent , Euon Farrell, was also notable by his absence. Farrell did turn up to my daughter's year 5 class and got defensive when any of the 10 year olds asked him anything probing! Hilarious. OTOH, the...
+100
I spared a brief thought for Seymour....hahaha, thought gone. I intend to never waste energy thinking of him or his nasty rich white boy Party ever again.....
Agreed @UCG - I hope he feels satisfied with taking those wasted votes that otherwise would have gone Green or Labour. If he really feels so strongly about poverty, housing, the climate etc, why didn't he throw his cash and profile behind Labour or the ...
Haha @simonm and @alwyn - agree with you both there. Rowling and Archer can't write to save themselves. Another 'bestseller' in that camp is Dan Brown. Ouch. Meanwhile, superb English writers like Ian McEwan and Zadie Smith to name just a couple continue ...
Me too @Bill. I have the champagne on ice in hope and readiness. Fully respect your post. I am too tribal Labour, and have been working too hard for Labour out here in Kapiti, to vote any other way than two ticks red. However, I have been encouraging ...
I'm not normally one to defend Bill English, but Jacinda Adern said on Checkpoint last night that she had been contacted directly by him giving his condolences. Credit where credit is due.
Thanks Weka. I am SO SICK of the sexism already and she hasn't even been elected PM yet. You don't have to scratch too far in this country for rampant sexism and misogynism to be revealed. It disgusted me through the Helen Clark years and I can feel the ...
Me too @redblooded
Yeah I just couldn't believe this move by him. Dumb dumb dumb. Did he just hand the election to the right? Drops head on table in despair
Exactly how I feel.
Well put @Molly. @The other side's' comment was the most disgustingly selfish and ignorant response to Michelle's brave and genuine story of REAL need and struggle. I agree with Bill - call yourself a 'rich prick' if you want The Other Side but you may as ...
Tautoko @cleangreen
Thanks for posting. Kia kaha. And let's all keep working to change to a progressive caring Labour-Greens government next week
Further donation given and have emailed local branch to offer my driving services on Election Day. leaflets delivered by kids and me over the weekend.
Yes. In my days in the public service, it was well known that the front bench were the Catholic Mafia
I am 'apparently' both of those things and it's no concern to me, so best not to generalise. Personally I vote for all kiwis, a fairer society and a better future for my children, not for what's best for my pocket.
That attitude of Soper et al has been infuriating me the last weeks! As if we haven't had personality politics for the last 9 years!! I doubt that a vast chunk of people who voted National in the last three elections could name a single policy. except tax ...
Can we dare yet to get our hopes up?? I think I'll wait till after the 23rd but then I can't wait to get out my popcorn and watch the Nats tear themselves to shreds. Not normally a vindictive person but too many people are hurting badly after the last 9 ...
Lol @incognito
Have heard a few rumours about her from her uni days too that she wouldn't want coming out
@bwaghorn, agreed. Hubby and I were saying exactly that today.
@joe90 - aha, got it, cheers. Well, I find that equally as abhorrent.
@mary_a - exactly!! That's what I thought. and the sort of action that would be so easy to deny by him.
Yes for sure, I'm under no illusions about Facebook! My fury arises from the fact that Wayne Eagleson is out there poking about on the pages of anyone who might be an "enemy" of the Nats! How dare he!?
So I haven't commented for a long time so forgive me (life has been busy having babies, becoming self-employed etc). I'd also become so disillusioned with NZ politics. But my left-leaning views hadn't changed in all that time, and finally I feel some hope ...
