Post the proof.
Must do, given we have a third term government at record levels of popularity, and a PM who is consigning his primary opponent to oblivion.
"The formerly dominant Socialist Party got just 6% of the vote and 5% of the seats. In 2012 they got 41% of the vote and 49% of the seats." That's a towelling.
Let's assume you are correct. Then Little is a hypocrite, because he is calling for English to do something he can't do (sack an MP), and that Little can't himself do in his own party. That about sum it up?
Yawn. Still no real evidence of lies. No wonder this is off the top of the Herald site already. [lprent: The NZ Herald site has foe aboutva decade been run using clickbait criteria. Effectively this means that nothing survives at tbe top of the site for ...
"So giving people referrals. Giving people information. Even giving people budgeting advice." That's right. Not 'things'. "But if it’s the LAST resort, under your philosophy all of those options have to be expended before the state provides assistance." ...
"The context being journos asking him about this thing he was involved in that he’d really rather not talk about. " And that's why I'm asking, because you still haven't provided the question he was responding to.
"No, you are feverishly defending the obfuscation of truth as if" significantly distinct to telling a lie." What obfuscation?
Well, at least I'm not Catholic!
Address the question.
You claimed macron is a leftie. He isn't. Oh, and BTW, the socialists got trounced in the French elections.
How did he lie by ommission? You see you can assert anything you like...the moon is made of cheese...but repeating it doesn't make it true.
Oh no argument from me, English has handled this poorly. But that's a long way from lying.
What lie?
"“Being involved doesn’t have to mean giving people things.”" That's right. Doesn't HAVE to. It can mean referring people to budgeting advice (as many community based groups do before issuing subsequent food parcels). "You’re really tying yourself up in ...
Context.
"Yes it is. It’s called lying by omission." Lying by ommission only applies when a person misleads by doing so. If English was asked to tell everything he recalled, and didn't, then that would be lying by ommission. Moving on from definitions, lets have ...
Proof? Examples?
I'm not accusing anyone of telling lies.
Yes, I do. The grass roots members in each electorate choose their MP. That is why the Nats are more democratic than the Lab's, whose 'local' candidates are largely dictated by HQ. [lprent: Ah no. Perhaps you should read up on that particular subject ...
Interesting that you attack me rather than address the question.
You didn't comment on what you had for breakfast 3 months ago. You lied?
Slater has been an opponent of some within National to undermine Barclay, including his arch-nemesis Michelle Boag. Slater is all over English with this, because he wanted Collins to have the top job. Slater is right about many things, but if he's ...
Context is important.
Not commenting on something is not a lie. Good try, but you can scurry away now.
Oh there's no doubt about that. The electorate has had some pretty heavy hitters from within National playing against Barclay for some time. Politics is a dirty game, no question.
You don't understand the National Party constitution. English can't fire Barclay. He can only outline him.
Rubbish. Quote the question he was responding to.
What was the statement? When was it made? Where is the transcript of English saying he had 'forgotten'?
"Lie by omission, English knew the recording existed, that he had made a statement to the police, and repeatedly pretended he ‘could not remember’." Saying he can't remember something isn't evidence of a lie by omission. Unless you can read minds. You're ...
"But wait! There’s France’s Macron! Can’t he be the leftie anti-Trump?" It seems authors on this blog are having a bad week with facts. Macron is not a 'leftie'. He was a member of the Socialist party of France until 2008, but has recently distanced ...
