Been saying it for years. They are the "Multi-National Party". We should take them to the Commerce Commission for false representing themselves as pertaining to New Zealand primarily. Just about everything they have been doing is directed toward creating ...
BOOM!! Nailed it.
Cameron Brewer was acclaimed in Orakei last local body elections. Absolutely no one at all ran against him. Can't let that happen again...even if I have to run myself just to give people who don't want him a chance to register that fact. As for Mark Thomas...
So if ACT and UK and NZF and Maori party dont support it......it won't pass, right? Why would they hate our kids - particularly - as much as National apparently does?
I have refused to buy the Herald, or subscribe, because I feel uncomfortable *paying* for propaganda. Bad enough I waste my time on it when its free.
Dita de Boni? That's very sad. She was another of the voices that did something other than pander to the Key-man.
Orsman is a terrible. Truly awful.
I have a lot of time for Deborah Hill-Cone these days. Her kids and her marriage break-up seem to have softened the hard edge she used to have. She's found some compassion.....and that would have been completely unknown in her 10 years ago.
Parkinsons? I should have known. His voice was getting weaker and weaker and that is often a symptom. Bugger. I've known too many people now who have gone that way. It's a hard road......for them and everyone who cares about them.
Key merely proves once again that modern conservatives can't actually think in any useful way about the future. Be they government or the people who vote them into government. But there is no way on Earth you can ever actually explain that to someone who ...
The two conservative parties of Australia and New Zealand clearly put their economies ahead of the homes of Pacific Islanders. There can't be any real doubt about that any more. What is less clear is why they believe doing - effectively - nothing about ...
Jealousy like that is just....ugly.
This is just one more way National is putting Kiwis out of work. People employed by Housing NZ will be made redundant and this crew will take over.
John Key telling lies is getting to be a bit of a cliche. He does it all the time. His own National Party - integrity-free as they clearly are - *always* let him get away with it. They would all lie too if they were him. Yeah...that's a party you want to ...
The problem with this model is the provider and the government have every incentive to lie and there is little transparency. Meanwhile, governments sell this flawed model on the basis there is more transparency...which proves to be a lie. A bare-faced lie ...
National, as a conservative party, is psychologically incapable of delivering what Oram wants it to deliver. National drives boldly into the future based on a mixture of discredited neo-liberal economic presumptions and an idealised view of past successes....
Any voter who votes for policies that see their job security, wages and conditions reduced while OTHERS reap the rewards is....stupid. That isn't a delusion. It's very obvious. Except to those who do it, of course.
Never underestimate the 'clever-clever' numb-nuttery of a major-party politician who puts his party first and everything else second (ie: party hack). What looks mind-numblingly stupid to us can look positively brills to them.
Time to have another look at TOR.
So English flew Solid Energy into the ground...and no one could get the cockpit door open or make him listen to reason before it was too late. It's a (sad) metaphor that applies to National's electricity "reforms" and many of their other policies.
If everyone on the list declines...they don't get another MP. End. of. story. If people didn't vote for someone via the list at the last election, they can't be "elected" via a resignation. They have no standing...and can't be MPs. This serves to highlight...
STV would limit the scope of your vote. MMP lets you cast a nation-wide party vote. STV puts you back into a defined local electorate with no influence outside it. I've also voted in STV elections for the DHB...and found that ranking a bunch of people I ...
I just made a submission asking for: - a larger parliament. At least 140 MPs. - restore the 50:50 ratio of list to local MPs (I'd prefer local seats to be abolished - full of party hacks - but didn't include this). - Keep the term at 3 years. - make voting...
Good lord. What a horrendous submission. You want to gut your own representation. Nuts in a can.
The government ignored the last review.....including things like lowering the threshold and removing the coat tail rule. Consultation is clearly a sham with this government.
Why do conservatives everywhere have to poke the eyes out of the truth with sticks? This consistent dishonesty points to ingrained corruption and an ethical vacuum. ...and kiwis vote for this. Sad days on this planet. The liars and cheaters are winning.
Bridges is a good boy. He does what he's told by his betters. It's almost unfair to criticise him as he almost certainly isn't the one calling the shots. He's made himself their puppet because he's an ambitious party hack of the worst sort. The sort of ...
Might watch a 3D movie at home tonight. Dawn of the a Planet of the Apes?
The "Multi-National Party"
Goff doesn't really want to stand either. He wants an overseas posting (according to rumours).
The sex scandal came out the day after brown won the last local body elections. Many would not have voted for him had they known prior. It wouldn't have changed my vote. Why would I vote for Palino and the entire privatisation / no public transport agenda ...
