I didn't say that, did I? It's still correct that many Kiwis cringe when they think about what happens at Waitangi.
On the basis of a quick search, Stuff had approx 1.5 million unique readers per month in 2014 (Nielsen). By comparison, The Standard had approx 160,000 visits per month (Open Parachute). But given that many (most?) visits to The Standard will not be unique...
I'm happy for you to delude yourself by thinking that BE appeals only to white supremacists.
No one is claiming that Stuff is the bastion of intelligent discourse. But it's more reflective of public opinion than The Standard, isn't it?
I agree that BE will be the PM for the people. Reading the readers' comments on Stuff, it is clear that the PM has overwhelming public support on this issue. It's also clear that most Kiwis, not just many, cringe when they contemplate the goings-on at ...
Actually, most Kiwis do cringe when they see the posturing that goes on at Waitangi. To most Kiwis, 6 Feb is just Maori Grievance Day. ANZAC Day is the real New Zealand national holiday.
But where would the Nats' support go? Surely not to Labour or the Greens.
I agree that Little has been consistent. But, with a tail wind, he might get over 10% in the preferred PM stakes.
Agreed. There was never any chance of Peters jumping the other way. He loathes the Greens.
sorry, that should be desperate (i.e. "feeling or showing a hopeless sense that a situation is so bad as to be impossible to deal with")
Your problem, OT, is that you obviously think the ordinary person is stupid, and that you know better than they do what is good for them. You can't understand why Labour is deeply unpopular, can you? I can tell you. It is because the party has completely ...
Yeah, yeah, I know his name is Andrew, but didn't the Mayor of Kaikoura refer to him as David? It's a mark of how poorly Little projects himself. You could argue that personalities shouldn't matter, but the fact is that they do. And you can choose to ...
Some people are talking about it, but they seem to think the solution is for Labour to follow Corbynite UK Labour and lurch leftwards. But if the UK polls are anything to go by, Corbyn is leading his party to a rout at the next General Election.
"Because they rely on an ever reducing number of people who have landlines." No they don't. Sounds like you are clutching at at straws, hoping the polls are really concealing the fact that David Little is fabulously popular. Roy Morgan uses both landlines ...
You are correct, but it was the essence of what Clinton actually said.
I doubt it has anything to do with the PM travelling overseas. It's probably more to do with the major economic indicators looking good: GDP growing faster and faster, employment up, unemployment down, public finances back in surplus. Bill Clinton was ...
Yes Chris Bishop will win. Not least because Labour decided that someone is unfit to stand on the basis that he has a penis instead of a vagina. The person they picked couldn't beat Peter Dunn in Ohario, so how can they expect her to beat a far stronger ...
If Justin Lester is standing as a Labour candidate, why isn't he campaigning under Labour colours like the other Labour ward and regional council candidates? Is he ashamed of being Labour, or is he just trying to con the voters?
Complaining about dirty tricks is a bit of a cry-baby tactic. But, OK, just for the sake of the argument, I'll buy the dirty tricks proposition. That doesn't get us very far, though. It only leads to the question of whether Labour are too dumb or ...
Me neither
Reputable? How can you say this when the results were not even published? You wouldn't give any credence to the results of a Curia Poll leaked by Kiwiblog.
Well said, Observer Toke. It takes a special kind of stupidity to say that there is no God, since (as Stephen Hawking rightly noted) it is possible neither to prove nor to disprove the existence of God. TRP is really on the level of the five year old who ...
Serious? Yes Seriously incompetent? Yes. Little and McCarten cannot do anything right. I wouldn't profess to be a firm Labour supporter, but NZ deserves a better opposition and potential government.
Nothing wrong with protesting, but the people who stopped oldies going about their lawful business are low-lifes who should have been warned by the cops, and then arrested if they didn't cease and desist.
Sorry, but you are wrong. The Herald story doesn't say that. It says that the majority of the overseas buyers of property (3% of the total) were Chinese. This implies that around 2% of sales overall went to overseas Chinese buyers.
Well, at least you are being even handed, Penny. You are polluting both The Standard and Kiwiblog with your cut and paste drivel. I see there's more from you below. If we had a voting mechanism here, like they do over at Kiwiblog, I'm sure you would find ...
It was in 2006 that the Nats realised that Brash was unelectable and eased him out in favour of Key. Little is about as electable as Brash was. And the sooner Labour admit that fact, the better.
So why is Key on 40% in the preferred PM stakes and Little on 9%? If you don't think it is down to charisma, it must mean that Little is simply not believed by the vast majority of NZers.
So, even though anyone can ride the buses and trains, Auckland doesn't have public transport because all the buses and trains are privately owned/operated. On the other hand, the Mayoral limo, which the public can't ride in, is public transport because the...
But my main point about Little is that he doesn't look coherent. It's simply not credible to say on the one hand that we shouldn't sign up for the TPPA, and then in the next breath to say that we probably should come out if we do go in. What that actually ...
Serious question: do you really think Labour/Greens/NZF is a workable coalition?
