Im not sure she necessarily would do poorly....she would certainly upset many but I suspect she would have considerable appeal to a sizeable cohort. It is an idle wonder in any case as she has been there , done that and worked out she had better things to ...
" In a deglobalizing world we risk dealing with enormous price shocks and dominant economic theory is not preparing us to deal with this. Deglobalisation can be an inflationary force especially if it happens in a chaotic manner. We have an extremely ...
Lol...and that is a very Pam Corkery quote. Theres a certain type of person that succeeds in politics...unfortunately. I wonder how she would fare (politically) in todays environment?
Yes, have seen that announcement...and agree that they continue to adhere to the free market ideology in deed even if not in word.
Yes , it is indeed by design....and the result of decades of 'free market' economics. Regulation is an anathema to them but politically difficult to sell so we have nominal regulation but ensure we are unable to enforce it.
"The bad news is that, to investigate 200,000-300,000 terrible rentals, the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment (MBIE) has employed a frontline inspectorate numbering ... 37. Each inspector will have to check somewhere between 5000 and 8000 ...

The 'facts' printed in the Herald piece dont change anything he has written....they do however beg the question why this remains unresolved after 12 months of 'engagement' by both the Whips and Parliamentary services.
Have you read the Trotter piece?
"Think about it for a moment. Labour has a caucus of 65 MPs. Most of them, like Sharma himself, highly qualified professionals. How, then, is it possible that all but two of these intelligent and (presumably) principled men and women (the exceptions being...
The case is rested...but i shall explain(even though it is apparently losing) My take on the post is a 'bastard' does the unpleasant/difficult things that are ultimately for the greater good whereas the 'arsehole' is unnecessarily or gratuitously ...
"I'll forgive Mallard quite a lot because he was willing to hold babies on his knee while being the Speaker. That imagery and narrative shift is gold." I rest my case
the line is whether he's (or she) 'our' bastard or 'theirs'
When a (yet another) country goes broke... "Brandishing a rifle and threatening to douse himself with petrol, Bassam al-Sheikh Hussein, entered the Federal Bank branch about noon on Thursday and insisted on withdrawing part of his frozen savings of $210,...
It was my electorate (both Sydenham and Wigram) for many years and I well recall the campaigning that went on, including the Labour Party's attempts to discredit Anderton after he left the party (or as he said, they left him). Before Labour even had the ...
They all only survive with a functioning economy
And yet apparently she leads....the elites have a self destructive streak a mile wide....all one can assume is they either think they can get out with their wealth intact or they are so unaware they dont understand the consequences.
The decades of abdication of responsibility, the syphoning off of much needed investment to dividends, the lack of ability to implement action, the deflection of cause to worker laziness, the lie that more of the same will solve the problems. The playbook ...

"When governments are contractually incapable of solving their people’s problems, only one option remains: turning us against each other. This process is well under way: the purpose of culture wars is to distract us from inequality. But it will go much ...

Yep....that was one seat you could mark off every election as held
You never had a point....Anderton was invincible as an electorate MP....the invincible dont need others permission.
Not to mention the beef prices in the US.. https://news.yahoo.com/beef-prices-surging-us-whats-054809546.html
you do realise that Anderton quit the Labour party in 1989?....22 years before your campaign agreement...I think even they realised by then they couldnt beat him
You obviously know not of what you speak...Labour tried for years to unseat Anderton....to no avail.
Anderton was never going to lose his seat no matter who ran against him....he was an incredibly popular electorate MP.
