Yes.
You might ask the same question of 2, 3,7 , 8 and 9 inside the top 10. Frankly Labour had an opportunity here to demonstrate they had talent in their current 60 plus MPs. The public have had a good look at the current cabinet. I suspect to many, especially...
Read. Anyone know when the next polls are out? Roy Morgan usually at the start of the month, so maybe late this week? I haven’t seen a TV3 one for a while. With everything that is going on politically, will be interesting to see if any clear trends are ...
Yet another week starts with National releasing policy and Labour again talking about themselves - today their party list. [TheStandard: A moderator moved this comment to Open Mike as being off topic or irrelevant in the post it was made in. Be more ...
Nice obituary. [TheStandard: A moderator moved this comment to Open Mike as being off topic or irrelevant in the post it was made in. Be more careful in future.]
We’ve already been fucked royally. That’s why the left won’t see power again for a long long time. And the next time they do it will be a centrist party akin to Lange/Douglas.
We shouldn’t worry about TPM, the greens and labour’s plethora of taxes because they won’t be anywhere near power for 6, possibly 9, years.
Trouble with that theory is that Labour, to an MP, we’re denying for months that they were cooking up a wealth tax … until they got busted … then there was a document dump, a triple backward somersault from the PM in Lithuania and a ministerial resignation...
Labour is a bit snookered if this is there one big tax idea. The idea has largely been panned by the experts. Robertson is on the record as negative against the idea. Opposition parties will therefore rightfully highlight the cabinet split if this becomes ...
Meanwhile from Q2 in Parliament today it seems Labour maybe set to announce the removal of GST on fresh food as part of their last gasp attempt to regain the election initiative. Anyone who’s ever been to the UK, ordered a sandwich and been presented with ...
Future Greens wins will be hard In addition to the reasons you outlined, you omit the biggest inhibitor to future wins - their total reliance on Labours prospects - which have hit the skids.
What more is there to know? The facts as I understand them are that the then justice minister failed to accompany a police officer when required to do so. Inexcusable under any lens.
I was trying to recall over the weekend how many times I’ve voted Green, Labour and collectively other parties to date. At a reasonable guess I think about one third each. But there is no way on planet earth I’d consider voting Green in their current ...
At least labour are being honest with half the slogan. They’ve certainly landed NZ “in it” for years to come. Rather they left me out of it with the second part of the slogan … not in my name.
Labour score card slogans 1 policy 0
Yep, while National is busy releasing policy today … Labour is busy releasing slogans.
You kidding right? Grant is an even bigger turn-off. You only need to look at his performances in the house - smarmy, conceited, loud mouth. But it does open an interesting question. Who will be the Labour leader come Christmas. Certainly won’t be anyone ...
Big difference. An agents fee is one off, a wealth tax is not.
So nothing new then.
Just more stuff Labour won’t do. When will labour start announcing what they will do, other than eat sausage rolls of course?
How dumb do you have to be to walk into a mongrel mob meeting and think it was a different meeting? One of the lamest “I got found out” excuses I’ve ever heard. Bit like the 5 year old with ice cream all over their face trying to explain “it wasn’t me” ...
In the continued theme of positive news, it looks like the horrible weather of the past three years is about to clear An El Niño pattern - which tends to slow down, or even reverse, the trade winds that usually blow from east to west across the tropical ...
😉
Three cheers for the Greens. Hyp, hyp, hypocrisy
You can call us idiots. Your prerogative. For us, we need to look after ourselves and the desperate people we meet each and every day. Champagne socialism has not served us or them well. Enjoy your evening.
Frankly, I got an ambulance in under 15 minutes when I needed one under the Key government. We are a registered teacher and a registered nurse. We have so many stories in our two professions in how desperate people are under this government. For the first ...
Yep, health system is totally screwed. Last week somewhere in NZ experienced by my wife in a low decile secondary school. Student collapsed in class, unresponsive, can’t communicate. Call 111. Ambulance triage her and determine she is not a priority. Wait ...
Yep! Not only that, we’re talking about a Tesla that no one actually purchased 😂 Strange times.
Solid response When this first became a “story” I thought the headline should read “Luxon doesn’t buy car” Tomorrow I suspect the lovies at Stuff and Newshub will moisten their excitement with the follow up “Luxon didn’t have a jam sandwich for lunch” ...
You provided a link to a complaint that was declined. Bit like your mis-quote yesterday. Keep up the good work. You add great comedic value to this site. You’re one of my favourites.
Yesterday I asked if you where thick when you completely misquoted my post. Today I ask the same question again, given your understanding of statistics seems equally astray. Turnout relates to a population, a poll to a sample. Ask 100 people in my local ...
