As long as no one mentions charter schools. You're as in denial as the leader was on The Nation this a.m.
Entire concpet of 'liberty' is metaphysical nonsense mate.
'a joy to behold' says someone who isn't gonig to be imprisoned, extradited or left to die from preventable disease because of him. Honestly the way some of us treat this fascist thug as a bit of light entertainment before the great socailist revolution is...
Disagree. This is the problem Labour always has, Greens too, always thinking they have to get into detail adn costings and endless bloody explanation. Brits know the rail system's fucked, they know privatisation did it. Don't let the policy wonks waste a ...
Here here. Stop giving Seymour credit for blatant self-promotion. Act's desperately trying to market him as a hip young thing who undersands the problems young people face, he'll still turn around and rubber-stamp every tax break for speculators and ...
Certianly working out great for all the sick babies and rape victims who can't get healthcare in the richest nation in the world, but hoo-rah for the leftwing project, that's what matters.
Funny it's a choice more brown people make than white people, even when white people 'choose' to commit the exact same crimes.
It's a bit of a cultural-compentency ambulance at the bottom of the colonial hill, isn't it? If we want really bold ideas to address incarceration in NZ let's start with No Pride in Prisons manifesto: http://noprideinprisons.org.nz/post/150231157038/...
It's a great achievement that after nine years in opposition the only thing he's known for is abusing the position of Chief Whip to attack a member of his caucus on TV.
Can't even spell his name right though?
Might've been a bit smarter to "tread carefully" BEFORE announcing they're going to cut "tens of thousands" of migrant visas and open the door to the usual racist Winstonning. Keith Ng puts it better than me; https://thespinoff.co.nz/politics/27-04-2017/an...
"Is this thing turned on?" "Sorry sir, we've managed to create a range of fantasy simulations but the software simply can't understand your request for "a world where neolib economics works""
Given the absolute dog's brekafast National have made of education over the past nine years it's a bit of a owrry no one knows who Chris Hipkins is. What has he been doing??? At least Nash knows how to get headlines, even if he does it by sticking both ...
Ardern was elected, unlike Ivanka, and I'm sure she wouldn't appreciate the comparison.
Only ooption for Corbyn and his fans was to not elect Corbyn leader because the neolibs were always willing to sink the party rather than grow spines and demonstrate real principle. How do you compromise with terrorists?
It's ok Joe, I hear Trump isn't really going to be that bad it's just a beat-up by the Hillary-loving media, just like Assad using sarin on kids. Wikileaks has the truth, just ignore the fact they haven't leaked anything which didn't serve Russian ...
Red's argument is so poewrful he doesn't have to justify it! Classic righties.
Canny judgment? You mean pissing off a helluva lot of people when he announced Jackson would be at the top of the list, then pissing of Jackson by not putting him at the top of the list? Those headlines have been great for Labour. And once again the hard ...
Tha'ts a very nice little lecture, grey. Doesn't cahnge the fact Chris has been talking complete bollocks for years, changes his spots on a weekly basis to try to look relevant, and gets all his good gossip from the Galbraith's happy hour crew. If you want...
Interesting you didn't engage with the real point: if it's so good for the left to vote in a hostile rightwing government in France, why not here? But in my experience your MO is always to assume anyone who doesn't agree with you is stupid.
I've been thinking about it, and i reckon Bill's right. We need to bring liberalism down - in NZ! https://thestandard.org.nz/liberalism-and-the-left/ We've got a choice between two evils too - one greate rand one lesser. Labour stands for "budget ...
Chris is getting his lines from McCarten. Not exactly "accurate" from the perspecrtive of anyone who realy supports Labour values. Labour already got plenty of Maori support thanks to (demoted) MPs like Mahuta. People should stop crying triumph for Jackson...
They've always "loved" whoever the deputy is, because they want to make people worriedf about leadership instability. If Little were deputy they'd love him too. It's a transparent tactic.
A++ OAB
Why "hope it's a small subset"? This is the kind of behaviour capitalism rewards. The guy's only crime is he ssaid it more openly than the rest of his crew. Owning a rental property isn't a bad thing, but as soon as you thhink of yourself as 'a property ...
The Labour Maori and Pasifika caucuses are well-known for working together on campaigns. Look at South Auckland. And you're right, I shouldn't have said "most", it's imprecise. But you can;t use only one metric. Sute, if you only look at number of party ...
Very easy for us white men on the other side of the world to advocate tactically voting for Le Pen. We won't be the ones getting the sharp end of the fasces. My question is why Bill seems to think the left can't stand up for itself right now. Why do we ...
That's not how the list works. If they all win their seats it doesn't matter where their placed on the list, no one else gets displaced. Its like Willie Jackson throwing his toys over getting ranked 21 - if Labour wins all its current seats, he's really ...
There is a Wiki page for party lists which shows Jeanette was #1 in 2005: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Party_lists_in_the_New_Zealand_general_election,_2005#Green_Party
Only thing Joe Carolan's loss shows is you can have all the good socialist policies on paper, but people don't want to vote for a hopeless dickhead supported by a mob of dickheads.
When was it decided "unity" was just another way of saying "shut up and do what you're told?" If you want mindless groupthink go join the Nats. Since he hates unions so much that might be good advice for Willy too.
Cats, with their independent spirit and beguiling purrs, have captured the hearts of humans for millennia. In New Zealand, felines are no exception, boasting the highest national cat ownership rate globally [definition cat nz cat foundation]. An estimated 1.134 million pet cats grace Kiwi households, compared to 683,000 dogs ...
