Are you going to post the new poll results tonight or does that does not fit into the anti national line you continually repeat?
Could this blog be any more partisan?
"Couldn’t care less. Not into this ‘tradition’." If you have no interest in hunting or shooting sports, what right or knowledge do you have to decide that others cannot participate in these sports? I think the fact that this gentleman had access to ...
I like to think I have a sense of humour and in the privacy of my own home, workplace, random park benches, the pub, public buses, well almost anywhere I can be found, I will be *trying* to make a wise crack about someone or something, somewhere in the ...
Creating a graduate tax will be a great policy to incentivise more highly skilled people to leave. Our current student loan scheme doesn't drive people off shore, but I would certainly consider leaving permanently to avoid ever having to pay back my fair ...
Well my choice is really between Labour and the Greens, and Labour is not looking like it has a good shot. I would hate to see Labour elected with its current batch of MP's without the need for a Greens coalition. The issue here for me is why are they ...
You will note mickeysavage that I didn't say I would vote for National, I said I WOULDN'T vote for Labour. I will still give my vote to a left wing party, most likely the Greens as other parties are not likely to make it into Parliament, but I can't ...
"Kiwi battlers" to me doesn't mean those who have aquired material wealth when they have come from poverty. I actually meant those who are part of their communities and fighting to improve them. Labour should be the peoples party but it is hard to consider...
I'm a leftie but if Chris Carter remains in the Labour Party line-up then Labour will not be receiving my vote. It is disgraceful to see Labour continue to promote politicians who are clearly out of touch with the electorate. Labour needs to get rid of ...
You are supporting the campaign but you call the campaign computer illiterates for not having a flash ad for the blog sites to implement. Instead of bitching about them being 'illiterate' why don't you help the volunteers? Trying to make the supporters ...
Very impressive. Also show's how bloody well organised Greenpeace are. Perhaps the most organised sector lobby in NZ?
this post is awesome. more like this one :) oh and put your RSS full feed back on!
You are right Sprout. Radio NZ is the highest rating radio station in rural NZ. National may pay a price in the regions for this. Join this group: "Save Radio New Zealand" http://www.facebook.com/pages/Save-Radio-New-Zealand/312651831782
Satire is fiction that pretends to be serious while poking fun at its subject matter. This is a true discription of what happened and laughing at the idea that we should pay off these idiots because otherwise they'll leave and without them our country ...
Beneficiaries aren't earning the minimum wage. So bit of a fail there kiddo. Plus, you just made that up
Don't like it up, ya, do you righties? If the rich are just as idiotic as the rest of us how can they be Altases supporting the rest of us 'creating jobs' and all that nonsense you go on about? Fact is, they're not heroes and we shouldn't concede to the ...
Heh! well done
it was great to hear gareth morgan suggest something other than the usual nonsense of 'cut taxes and government spending and walla, everything fixed' hopefully some pressure builds for some real consideration of 'fundamental change' to the tax system that ...
Eddie said: [I should point out I don't think National will adopt all or even most of the Taskforce's recommendations. This is about shifting the centre ground to the right, thereby giving National the cover it needs to implement right-wing policies while ...
I have this creeping feeling that Richard Long will be right and that the ETS is going to be the "electoral finance act' of the National Party. I bet if you vox popped people on the street, asking them what impression they had about the ETS people would ...
Nice post Rob, although all the agreeing above is making me nauseas. Agreed Burt so lets get that threshold down so we can actually increase the chance of a new party (that is not a break away from one of the major two) entering parliament and lets have ...
interesting theory marty. nz first's conference is this weekend in hamilton. That would be the time to announce something if you had it planned.. im not sure, as someone else alluded too, that his heart is in it (kiddie bashing that is, or defending it), ...
National may well think that this has been caused by matters that can be fixed with better PR. That will be their take but once again marketting theory is not going to provide anyone with all the answers when it comes to the vagaries of the political ...
Anyone who attended an election meeting of the candidates will know that Boscawen's supporters attended en masse and then preceded to ACT as though they were major players in the political landscape - beligerent, noisy and obstructive - all I can say is, ...
Good to see some comment that is not echoing all the "political commentators" on our major TV channels. Hey! Although David did a fantastic job and Melissa made a few boo-boos I do not think that that was nearly as important as the fact that every day more...
Peak oil will come, there is no doubt. But every premature shout about it diminishes the value of the idea. And I have to add, as Tim has pointed out, that the world is more likely to adjust than collapse when it does loom.
Peak oil is a realiy of course - there is a point at which oil must run out - but you are certainly well ahead of the curve in pronouncing it as an event that's upon us. Every time petrol prices spike you yell "peak oil" - but I never see you retract those...
anything fisk describes as a war crime will be one-sided. has anyone ever read fistk describing rockets into israel as a war crime? and it's not just israel.
Steve Maharey a seer .........ha ha ha ha
Most of this arguing comes down to central premises, it seems to me. If you really believe that more central control is good then no construction of evidence to the contrary is persuasive. For me, that central premise is false - and so the way I look at ...
if you're actually interested in these speeches, they're all up at http://www.youtube.com/nationalparty I haven't seen the speeches from other parties, is anyone putting them up?
