I don't care how many times she stumbles, falls or passes out. Among other things, a pair of blue glasses will sort things out. The US Government is more than a President anyway and if she has the right people in the right places, that will be all fine and...
So peculiar that we are not hearing any particular ABs speaking out on any moral, social issue. /sarc
One of my relatives is a staffer and said that it is mega toxic within the senior ranks. It would not be surprising that Shorten will be challenged within seconds, once it is clear that Labor will not be in government. He will be fine if ALP squeeks ...
I'd suggest a joint op-ed from Little and Turei targeting the issues. About time there is a follow-up from the MOU that was announced about two calendar months ago to keep the momentum going.
Coming along next, watch the Oz Labor Party begin to head down the road of division, leadership challenge and implosion, y'know like NZ and UK have experienced.
I would also like to hope things will turn out as Tony hopes BUT I am scarred from observing Syriza's Tsipras-Varoufakis experience.
x 100 Btw, my friends and family (NZ citizens, as well as British citizens who are NZ permanent residents) have sent emails of support. Feel free to write to him. We emailed to both his addresses - the generic one as well as his MP address: leader@labour....
"The decision should have been left to the MPs" Exactly. The UK Labour Party made a dreadful mistake with the equally-weighted one-person-one-vote to the detriment of much more knowledgeable, experienced, expert and beneficent caucus MPs who must always be...
Corbyn should go ahead and make real progress on further democratising the UK Labour Party: “Reselection, recall, a lock on leadership elections that only members can remove. ... [b]ring it [on!].” http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/jeremy-corbyn-...
Bliar gives a bad name to any campaign that he hitches on

Post-Elizabeth I, England came together with Scotland, united into One Kingdom. Compare and contrast a scenario after Elizabeth II, ...
I was in the company of some Nat Party folks a few days ago and the issue of MPs pursuing, how shall we say it very politely, extra-Parliamentary opportunities was the topic of the conversation. Some specific names came up. Ahem. Advance notice for Members...
hi mickysavage, i was not in a position to pass on too much info! had to pull back but you can see what was in the news about an hour ago, from DomPost's Vernon Small: http://www4.stuff.co.nz/business/81497014/John-Key-to-implement-most-Shewan-report-...
Haha, if only walls could talk. But sometimes, the writing appears on them for rulers. Mene, Mene, Tekel, Parsin
Wow. Amazing opportunistic regime change under way on both sides of the House.
I seriously wish for UK Labour to hold it together, and let the Conservatives fracture by themselves. While Blair and the Blairites may see the Conservatives as opponents across the House, they are quite likely to see Corbyn as the enemy.
undoubtedly there's Blair in the background poking and prodding, and he will have help from the Blairite careeristas
My wife just wondered out loud whether we might end up with Boris as PMoUK and Donald as POTUS.
It's not a binding referendum and the parliamentary representatives will mostly vote to remain. Much ado about nothing. Markets make money thanks to manufactured volatility and speculation. Activists' and media time, energy and resources used up as well as...
Sherwan's report is done. I understand the press release has also been prepared for sign-off.
Before any such ideas are implemented widely, they should first be trialled in Crown limousines and all vehicles used by Cabinet Ministers, whether private/public vehicles and at all times during the day. As well, all surveillance policies should first ...
"If the data collection is set up for end of day collection, there is no privacy concerns as there’s no contact with the server at all while driving. therefore no ability to track a vehicle in real time." Satire, parody or idiocy? Spoilt for choices.
No doubt that whatever proposals that will firm up will eventually help make more money for some of the political donors supporting the current regime. (No need for sarc tag)
When a neolib govt dependent on political funding from big donors practise 'trickle down' economics, they are actually arranging political donations to flow into their own wallets and party coffers? Naaah ;-)
Maybe gNatz are trialling their 90-second AI (not artificial intelligence but artificial idiocy) which they recently purchased from their overflowing coffers.
@ Chris LOL ! Yeah, lots and lots of John Key's magical solutions as 'pop ups' !
not myopic for the neo-liberal Left, though :-P
Yeah, that particular show gave me a lot more to think about and to change my views more than any local tv or video piece has done in many years. Recently started watching Waatea's Political Wrap of the Week and have been looking forward to it live or ...
The Greens don't wanna scare the horses?
Thanks for this, Swordfish. For months, I have been asking British friends (when I should have just googled or looked up the legislation or policy) whether the referendum is - in our NZ-speak - a "binding" referedum or not. I had long suspected that, ...
