He didn't say negate, he said negative. And yes the greens are detrimental to labour. Any coalition comes about as a compromise, which both sacrifice to achieve a majority. That means the more votes the greens get, the less power labour will have to enact ...
"That’s ok rto. Inevitably the left will win an election – and we will get to silence you with exactly the same logic." So long as Labour actually announce their election policies, they have the mandate to follow through with them. Given both Labour's past...
Because everyone understands that sabotaging the value at which the shares could be sold at is for the greater good. I don't call lefty critics treasonous, but as for a party that made a policy that can only be seen as vindictive and malicious just to ...
"and the article is critical of Brown" You seem to have misspelt apologetic
You could of phrased that 2nd half a lot better, i can only guess its meaning. Because you can't deepen the market by having investors shift money from one NZ company to another NZ company. The depth remains the same. If the government sells its assets, ...
This will be the last time i say this, but national never said anything about making lots of money. It wasn't about selling the assets for profit. It was about financing. I have never seen a national MP, and certainly not john key or bill english state ...
You're under the assumption that the sole goal of selling the painting was to raise money. Its been explained serveral times that the goal wasn't just about raising money, its more of a lowering of debt/trasnfer of finances Selling these power generating ...
... and arrogant tards like you Bazar, wanna come out from behind...
Thats something the left has repeatedly said, about the government doing this to make money. National has never said selling assets was about making money. Its just something the Left keep repeating because then they have something uninformed citizens can ...
"Yes, so it means you shouldn’t go around making policy on dodgy figures, and when it becomes obvious the figures won’t pan out, you should change your policy to reflect reality, not blindly charge onwards." In a way they did. They lowered the share price ...
The opposition government wasn't forbidden. Not once has anyone said they couldn't do what they did. Doesn't mean they should of. What person would create a policy that was : 1. Badly thought out 2. Very little chance of actually being implemented 3. Timed...
But the painting was sold at $700 It was well advertised, it was packaged as best possible, even sitching up a deal with the smelter to make buying easy. Instead you still couldn't get the 1 million you wanted, so after all this effort sold it to the ...
Well played You managed to write 2 large paragraphs full of banter, without actually answering even a single question of his. I also like the irony of how you rant about your ideology and ignore the debate, and instead turn to attack the government for ...
"good luck explaining to your boss/shareholders that you just sold $5.1B of assets for 30% less than their valuation." Thats just it, you seem to think that because something is valued high in the books, that makes it true. We could of had the power ...
Personally i have to laugh over his comments. Well written sarcastic reply, to a sorry excuse of a sarcastic story. Only thing harsh about it, was using the word "piss". Bravo KK. I'd point out the fact that this site wishes to censor passive-aggressive ...
"I think that you have led sheltered life if you think that syd’s comment is a pointless personal attack." Oh but it is. You can debate over the semantics of how not pointless it is, but its a pointless post. Its utterly meaningless, and only serves as a ...
To read the policy, and repeat the opening: "What we’re not prepared to accept are pointless personal attacks, or tone or language that has the effect of excluding others" I'd say the posted comment met that requirement. "We are intolerant of people ...
You're a champion of your cause syd. Dismiss out of hand an opposing point of view, and then hurl an insult at the person who dares to have an independent thought. I also note with bemusement that your topic is both non-constructive, trolling, and un-...
Because we only just had a referendum on the issue, and it was a binding referendum. Your asking for a non-binding referendum, that won't have anywhere near the same coverage and detail, and just isn't needed. I will add though, that i do believe if a ...
"maori,act,united future,to get a 1 seat majority" National, Act, and United are enough at 63 Seats. The maori party are not needed, but as with the last term in government, included for stability and long term relations.
"“There is no agenda to sell assets.”- That promise helped him get power in 2008 with the near-certainty of a second term. It was a lie." That promise was made and held. There were no assets sold in the first term, as Key said. You seem to think that ...
Indeed, i completely agree. Women deserve be handed places in board of directors. I particularly like how only a few companies were willing to pledge that they would get a ratio of 30% as women on the board of directors I mean they had 4 whole years to do ...
"Maritime Union ( not just port workers) had a ballot of workers to support the action to save the workers jobs" A leaders job is to get the best possible result. Having the majority back you, doesn't vindicate a leaders actions or failures. And this ...
"Ports of Auckland wants to increase profits by slashing pay-packets by 20% – $6m. It won’t make the containers move faster. It will increase profits only by taking bread out of the mouths of port worker families" I'm reminded of retoric that the unite $15...
Thinking isn't you're strong suit is it micky? Let me use simple words so you can keep up with this conversation: Muzza suggested that there is always someone who'll work for cheaper Pete suggested that while there are cheaper workers, in his case hes ...
All of those points listed don't apply. The POAL isn't preventing them from forming a collective agreement, nor is it forcing them to individual contracts. In fact it even tried to get them to sign a collective agreement multiple times. In the end, its ...
"The media will very quickly lose their love affair with Farrar when Labour, Greens etc simply refuse to acknowledge him or react to anything he says." Thats just silly thinking. A lot of farrar's posts have merit, he is heard on the radio, and has his own...
So because Goff, after days of having the teapot stirred, decided he wanted to move on. Thats fine, thats Goff who moved on. Goff's decision didn't stop all those other lefties that still haven't gotten over it. I only need to see that Zetetic has posted ...
So you're suggesting that the lefties were completely netural on this matter, and were not in any way making demands about, or adding fuel to the fire over the contents of the tape? Does that include Winston Peters in your definition of leftie? This site ...
By the sounds of it, there was sweet fuck all on the tape. So the lefties made a mountain out of teacup. I'm just waiting for the court to decide that it was a private conversation that shouldn't have ever been released or taped. And hoping someone gets ...
@Matthew "What you don’t seem to grasp is that writing down a plan of what to do after a union strikes" For the countless time. IT IS NOT A PLAN. It is a list of possible outcomes. There is no talk about actions, so it cannot be described as a plan, or a ...
