Feudalism? Revolution?
Cameron moved the Tories to the centre?!? He implemented the austerity programme that has been responsible for thousands of deaths, immigration controls, Libya, Brexit...not sure what you are getting at there.
Apologies, should have added /Sara after the first line, and yes, from what I understand about the latest Ecuadorian elections, the US and Moreno were on the same page about Assange, so this turn of events should (paraphrasing Pompeo) surprise no one
Not sure I can think of any elections in South America that US has not engineered or attempted to engineer to some degree, but I’ll keep researching
Doesn't sound at all dodgy, arresting someone for breaking bail conditions relating to a case that has been dropped... Moreno has done precisely what the US got him elected to do...
Hmm...not sure about that, I’m reasonably confident that the US may have been involved...oh, and the UK...and the Saudis...
Totally agree - I came across a graphic that showed conclusively that if the UK had had MMP, progressive governments of various mixes would have won 16 of the last 19 elections, I think it was, I’ll try and track it down.
Thanks Adrian, reality and the mainstream media at odds again as they attempt to manufacture consent, summed up by the great Glenn Greenwald: 'I'd have more respect for the foreign policy decrees of US officials if they'd just admit what everyone knows - "...
“...The Queen isn’t right wing” hahahahahahahahahaha I don’t quite know what else to say...
Could this rising figure be due to a more compassionate policy being observed than previously?
I'm with you here too, Pierre - one of the main reasons that Jeremy Corbyn wants to leave the EU is because of the EU rule around nationalization: the EU rule states that if an industry has been privatized, it cannot be re-nationalized, and re-...

Foreign Exchange dealer is a fairly amoral profession, killing economies for money...
Thanks Jan, very illuminating. The fact that you have used the word "Marx" means that google is likely to de-rank The Standard (https://www.wsws.org/en/articles/2017/10/20/goog-o20.html, admitted by google founder Eric Schmidt https://www.wsws.org/en/...
BM, are you suggesting, at 2.1 above, that Bill English, Jerry Brownlee, Nick Smith, Judith Collins, Paula Bennett etc. are "idiots operating so far above their pay grades and running stuff they haven’t got a clue about", after all, over the last 9 years ...
Robbing the commons, ignoring externalities and keeping wages as low as the law allows (and sometimes lower) - that's where most of the profits come from
Splendid exposition of National's modus operendi - thanks very much!
It would be interesting to hear Netsafe's position on such posts, they have form closing down debate on other blogs after all, Martyn Bradbury is still going through a case with them I believe.
So, no accountability for Judith until after the election - surely some news outlet would take the risk on this story, given the details appear uncontested? This story has all of the elements required to severely embarrass the government on the eve of the ...
And civics taught in school - National are presiding over an education system that is slowly dumbing down our children, their plan is to rule in perpetuity as there will be no-one sufficiently well-educated to take them on.
Yep, dirty politics, given maximum coverage by Paddy Gower on NewsHub tonight. National are shameless and running very scared.
Why will it be pinned on Labour when National have sat on their hands for the last 9 years in power? I think people will see this as a complete failure of Bill and his team of merry pranksters. Useful fuel for the last week of campaigning for Jacinda and ...
Are you suggesting MPs are not public servants? I believe we taxpayers pay their salaries, expenses, accommodation supplements (although some have to pay those back due to breaking the law)...
Polls are used to shape public opinion, not to measure public opinion. Nothing has changed, Joyce lied, Bill supported him and they both got called out by all of the major economists in the country, Bill is lying about tax, Simon O'Connor has shown the ...
Few major economic problems?!? Housing crisis, Health crisis, Environment crisis, Poverty crisis, Education crisis, Access to justice crisis, prison crisis, Police crisis...
Dirty Politics goes international - the Nats had to ramp it up somehow...
agree totally Mrs Brillo, NZ society actively rewards bullies - is it any wonder we have the government we have and the housing, education, health, mental health, suicide, child abuse, poverty crises that all seem to have the same route cause?
And not a peep on the Bennett investigation protest and a 15,000 signature petition...more distractions that I can only imagine have something to do with the Dirty Politics crew
Yup, distraction 101, every 3 years we have to go through the same process like Sisyphus and his bloody rock... All I hope for is that between Jacinda and Metiria, they manage to engage enough young people to counteract the self-interested National voting ...
The polls didn't get it wrong - they were designed to shape public opinion.
Mr Axford is quoting Yale researchers' figures Wayne, would you care to critique the methodology of researchers from that institute?
