National won't care about what's going on to the right of them with ACT. Seymour will go with National and no one else. Deep down many on the right will be hoping for a strong ACT showing, just like many here would love for Labour to be reliant on the ...
The Greens should have run a candidate. They need to untie themselves from Labour and start telling kiwis what they stand for. I know they would not have won, but they have missed an opportunity to get their message out to voters. As for the result, no big...
There are two arguments on this. If you truly believe Labours polling will improve over the next 12 months, then yes, you should wait and hold a general election next year. But on the other hand, if you believe Labour will continue to lose support over the...
Fair enough.
What gives you such confidence that this will turn around?
This trend will continue whilst people are struggling and this government keeps pushing divisive policy such as three waters and co-governance. I keep saying it, but rightly or wrongly these issues are election losers. Racism is still alive and well in ...
https://www.1news.co.nz/2022/06/07/poll-is-trevor-mallard-doing-a-good-job-as-speaker/ Trevor should never have been made speaker. The guy is a liability and always has been.
Act and National oppose it because they know the overwhelming majority of kiwis and councils do too. Three waters and especially co-governance is an election loser. It astounds me that many here are still so blinded to that reality. Luxon has already said ...
You are right, kiwis believe National are the party of economic management, no matter what history has shown. We shouldn't be relying on National to slip up or our "fair and impartial" media to scrutinize them in the hope of showing some flaws in their ...
I haven't missed any point. I gave my views on why I don't believe Clint Smith should be listened to and noted that many of his assertions around Nationals figures are frankly bullshit when scrutinized. But in any case, I couldn't care less what a moronic ...
Read the replies to Clints tweets. Many prove Clints figures wrong and show that projects like canning Lightrail gives National more than enough cash to pay for their current promises. If you want to win next year's election, don't be listening to Clint ...
No budget bump for Labour in tonight's poll. Maybe if they would start listening to kiwis instead of talking to them, they would still be favourite's for a third term. Kiwis don't want Three waters, co-governance or the Maori health authority. People are ...
The budget getting rightly panned by the pundits. Who was the genius in Labour that said no to beneficiaries getting the $350 payment? Ffs these people are feeling the cost of living crisis the hardest! What a waste of an outright majority. Ardern is the ...
On the grounds that I cannot see much good things ahead for them. Just floating an idea out there. If people can honestly see support improving for the government, then fair enough, wait until next year. But I personally cannot see much good news on the ...
With several polls now showing declining support for Labour. What do you think is the best strategy to win re-election. I personally believe that inflation will reach double digits by christmas and the cost of living crisis will continue to corrode support...
It's clear we aren't that serious then, are we?
If we were actually serious about climate change. A reduction in herd size A ban on fossil fuel powered cars A limit on domestic pets A genuine debate about our population size We would be refusing to trade with countries who are not committed to reducing ...
''ACT are a disgrace, but more than enough people that the left needs to vote for us are so tired of the lefts obsession with race, sexuality, gender over class and bread and butter issues that they would vote for ACT to dismantle any perceived wokeness ...
''Co- governance is not new'' This may be the case, but it is currently a vote loser which the left doesn't need. Are you really willing to push on with this, when by all accounts, the public is overwhelmingly against this? NewstalkZB Whether you like it ...
"he ran a company that govt had to bail out multiple times under his leadership" This isn't true. Air NZ was not bailed out whilst Luxon was CEO. They actually performed reasonably well under his watch. Everything else I agree with you. Dump the unpopular ...
I disagree sorry. Yes there have been improvements in some areas, but we are tinkering around the edges and in reality achieving nothing.
I'll take results over rhetoric thanks.
The single best thing we could do would be to stop having so many children. Can anyone see a politician in this country spouting that? nope. Our only solution will be a technological one. We lack the courage to try anything else.
Sorry but we should learn to adapt, we don't have the political or social courage to make the changes necessary. I was reading the very same arguments about tipping points etc, twenty years ago and I will no doubt be reading them again in another decade. ...
Luxon and National have already said they will repeal this legislation. Why is Labour so determined to waste political capital on this? Especially when from what I'm seeing, it's a vote loser.
If you are so convinced that this is what kiwis want, when no poll I have seen has supported that view, then you will gladly be in support of the debate and ultimately a referendum right? If Labour pushes this through, expect an almighty backlash, which is...
Many here obviously want Labour to lose the next election. He Puapua Co-governance Three waters Are all election losers. National are racking in the cash from donors at alarming levels. I seriously believe many here and people in and around the leadership ...
''if it ever existed'' Sadly it didn't.
This government has overseen the greatest transfer of wealth in a generation, whilst delivering record house price and rent increases. Stop talking about the poor when your side has not delivered anything for them other than continued misery...
All good in defending Ardern, but are those commentators actually wrong? [lprent: Of course they're wrong. While there are a lot of dimwits who subscribe to the great all-seeing dictator theory of management, I've never ever seen anyone ever managing it. ...
Lol sorry.
