McCarthy's 'The Road' describes a desperate situation very soon after the most sophisticated of societies. Climate change by the models and the facts always ahead of the forecasts will bring that round in my lifetime. So a violent death by starvation or ...
Jacinda is not one of our great prime ministers. The Labour Maori MPs should act for the people. But courage was winnowed out of them when the Maori Party separated.
I think their main regret will be having no one to blame for their lack of activity.
Kim was a great hero during the many dark years of rich-rule after our social democracy. Why RNZ had to admit Richard whatisname.
Agree, Flower.
Ruining our economy for many years because of ... a psychological quirk. Does anyone disagree? Climate Change, a slightly little off disaster that kills everything which is undermined because of the eccentricity of democracy for addressing immediate ...
Paddy, my major tactic is to have been born 20 years earlier than these terrible present twits. I'm too comfort-loving idle to adapt. So, violence. A rightful sentence.
I've just mentioned your and Bowalley's overactive oversight, it killing the Left in preference for a not particularly Left party. Martyn doesn't moderate at all these days. Lprent maybe wouldn't have got "The Road' reference, You're another CV kid like ...
Why do you defend them -- the 'art of the possible' from '84 over the rationality of the necessary? When the former will sink us in 8 years. It's just our present comfort. 90 % of the West agrees with you. Letters columns. It pays you and your missus. 20 ...
Did you do a communications degree?
Why are there only 40 odd comments here? There's no spirit on the left for these people. I didn't even see spirit on the part of Matamata Jacinda. The BBC has tagged her even. 'Be kind' but leave the neediest behind. The Left should speak up. Not only is ...
I suppose him fighting every interviewer and his strange step work made me sigh at the mention of his name. But my rationalism has confined me to very little influence in government. And he was half Scots, for better or worse. After him, mental cases in ...
Lynn, this isn't '35 Labour, This is '84 Labour. No one is going to die in a ditch for them, Everyone who works for them expects personal reward. We who were adults at the time, reasonably, want to overthrow them.
I take that as a bloody good takeaway.
Now if the Greens were in the habit of spitting tacks I'd be pleased.
Didn't you have a more interactive election post last time, Lynn? No comments occurring in real time as you are on the post. Reading the mood and numbers here, despite the landslide, it's a defeat for we Left politics-minded. Ardern's victory speech sorta ...
Ex-Wallaby, Peter FitzSimons, possibly the only Ozzie interested in us?
Confirmed by the Two Labour MPs.
The housing crisis here in Gisborne is hell. The neediest are being ground between two vices. While up there in the clouds the middle class dispute with no real knowledge. Despise it.
An uncareful strong argument for reality can cruise for many a long mile through the bullsh fictive the strong rely on to manufacture consent to them.
The heart of the Left is expressed in the policies of the Greens, Maori and TOP. Labour are people who are scared of their shadows. Like them many of us oldies have been burnt. That's how confronting power is. Labour doesn't understand, like middle class ...
The neediest and climate change response seem to be violently twinned. Just my emotional reaction. As opposed to the 84ists.
The personnel of the Greens make me puke green. Spoze at least we don't buy into hero figures.
Only 3 of my FB friends, out of 14 odd to be truthful, responded to my post saying everything is about climate change and vote Left, which can't include Labour.
Vote Left, and that obviously wouldn't involve l-a-b-o-u-r. See Grant's recent utube ad appealing to former Key voters. But, gratefully, we don't have the monopoly of the US Democratic Party! I wish the personnel of those parties matched their policies. In...
Whatshername is far from Trump, let alone Oz. Collins, I recollect. Key wasn't the devil, nor is she. Fairness is our imperative, and always serves the cause of the people.
Youse great details people.
Strange , the atmosphere here 3 days before an election. No passion, all details. What matters: only climate change. Did you see Robertson's ad on utube where he tried to persuade former John Key supporters he was following in his steps. There is this ...
True.
Well, we need a war govt to deal with climate change, so that is socialism. Though National is slipping away from recognition of climate change to engineer more immediate rewards for themselves.
I was wondering how Rupert could look himself in the face. Let alone his recent missus. It must be clear to him now it's got down to a war on democratic processes. And the affront to his journalistic instincts of Trumpism.
