True, but as unpleasant as it is, would he rather be in Hipkins' place?
The pondering of a closing gap and the overall closeness reminds me of a final flourish of a rugby team which gives them a sniff at the end of a game which suggests they could have done it. The silly penalties and dropped balls earlier are what put them in...
... aggrieved is oxygen to Hosking. Peters being elected and being in...
Can you imagine Tamaki as an MP?
Are you entering that comment in a competition for the most perspicacious poll comment of the election? Bad news for some, switching of allegiance, mass feelings being critical? Well I never!
The situation is an almost too perfect salve for Netanyahu's government in resolving divisions in Israel and unpopularity with the hard right shift in government power. These divisions will now evaporate as the country shifts to a war footing and focuses ...
... had manipulated private information about Peters to become public and it...
He is an awkward individual in the environment but his skin colour and medical background give him essential collateral in the environment. Of course part of that, like National’s transport history in Northland, is allowing them to be as hypocritical as ...
Politics still goes on in Britain. While we look forward to crazy possibilities post-election their bizarre environment simply continues. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1UxDJS-dWSk
At this stage it’s minutiae very few punters will be so affected by it will be the deal breaker for where their tick goes. As usual the critical energy will be simply in those exercising enough to exercise their vote.
Why can’t National answer? Why should they, they don’t have to. The election die was cast long ago and the phase now is ‘trimming round the edges.’ Taking a risk on ‘leave well enough alone’ would seem to be sensible.
Don't forget the biggies. From their announcements. "National will ban cell phone use at school. The presumption is cell phones are off and away all day, including during breaks between class, The ban will be implemented via regulations the Government can ...
Story of the day for me: 'Life drawing class ejected from community centre after nude model mishap during fire drill.' There are a hundred sides to every story and we'll take the version we want from this one I suppose. There may have been issues before ...
If the great United States can have the likes of Lauren Boebert and Marjorie Taylor Greene in government there’s plenty of scope for us to have a lunatic or two.
It’s sort of bizarre after all this tm, just before the election we see CGT is what people want and the two parties in the next coalition coalition are against it. And the next opposition main party.
A gathering in the middle of Wellington and the weather’s let me down badly.
The glory and power of being speaker would be right up his alley. Trouble is having to be on the ball every minute, the onerousness of the task, not having the luxury of being able to pass everything off to minions and the strictures. Speaker Gerry.
A National-Act-NZ First coalition might be an absolute disaster. What is a Labour-Greens-Te Pāti Māori-NZFirst opposition going to look like? That is a possibility.
It's a story about nuttery. It's a story about misinformation. It's a story involving Sue Grey. It's a story about sad cases of deluded, crazy people having their madness publicised.
The Act Party wants a referendum on the Treaty. Apparently the population was just over 100,000 at the beginning of 1840. The settler population was 2000. Act will have many supporters with an aim of killing off all things Māori. Couldn't do it in the ...
For all the beauty and all the prospects Tiger Mountain has pointed out one severe limitation - the number of 5G type nut jobs. That links to the associated nuts in the so called Freedom and Democracy groups, the Destiny Church and the random fruit cakes ...
When the crap hits the fan with fuel all the Nat/Act, private enterprise/ 'Government out of business' mob will go crazy about Labour. It'll be 'they should have bought the refinery, taken it over, blah, blah blah.'
New Zealand voters are morons. Under Nationals proposed tax policy the average income earner will be better off by about $7 a week while those of us on high incomes and with assets will benefit to the tune of 10's of thousands a year. This is by design and...
So Queenstown is in the crap. In a world of ‘every man for himself’ and ‘socialism is bad’ I expect that the National MP, all of his supporters and the Act side of the government after October will be saying, ‘Tough titty, that’s your problem. Government ...
Please provide some details on your source Stuart C Scott as I can find nothing which establishes any form of credibility as a commentator on this subject
David Seymour is a cretin. Fortunately for him in furthering his insane educational nuttery the country is littered with many as cretinous as him who will support him. He intends to rank schools using standardised testing twice a year in all schools. In ...
There’s something surreal about Seymour working his electorate, the dire streets of Remuera, helping the locals believe that NZ is on the bones of its whatever, the country is a wreck and consequently their lives are miserable, nowhere near what they ...
I see there's a leader's 'debate' on TVOne tonight. It's followed by a BBC game show called 'Would I Lie to You?"
Did NZLoyal and Liz Gunn turn out to be just a parody? Two party candidates? The group that was going to put the country on the straight and narrow couldn't even fill in the paperwork? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z58N0CMcWsg
Was it public transport which was the problem? Was the venue random? Had there been a disagreement somewhere which just happened to resolve itself in that particular place? Should we spread the fear and say it could have been anywhere and have everyone ...
At the last election didn’t Seymour go on a racist jaunt to Queenstown?
