Robert I'm an optimist too, but all the kafuffle over the special votes, wait and see, and then Peters arguing with the media about the outcome and stating that it is "significant", puts me in the same boat as you, a likely L/G/NZF govt, but nothing is ...
Not quite true, some plastics are organically based and used in the agricultural industries, others are very susceptible to UV corrosion which do break down to their base products a bit like rusting steel. Something that annoys me, is that everyone blames ...
All those who said waiting for the outcome of the special votes was a waste of time and made no difference were wrong. Winston Peters said he wanted to wait until after the results of specials as they could change things significantly, Bill and the media ...
Yeah, but Turnbull and co are happy to loan a Billion or two, backing the Mining Industry
This week is the week we find out if the infamous Barnaby Joyce loses his job, and his deputy and a few others as well. One decision has already been made for the One Nation party candidate Robertson, the Flat earth believer, the Supreme court found he was...
A classic example of unfettered immigration, is the experience of the Fijian's, in a democracy, where the immigrants end up out numbering the citizens, the migrants can set up their own political parties and win with a majority in democratic elections. ...
Tracey "After the election parties approach each other and have a conversation. This is called “talking”. Then if they want to, they raise the level of the talking to negotiation. Negotiation is talking with a view to making an Agreement." That's pretty ...
The interview with English on the news last night after the specials showed a degree of arrogance on English's part, that he expects to form a Govt on Thursday, tbh, his body language wasn't saying the same thing, the tone of his voice and demeanor was ...
It's called optimism, we all have that. It's still a 50/50 throw in reality, and Thursday will reveal all, we hope, there is the possibility of a deal done even sooner which would put a spanner in the works for one party, an early decision from Peters ...
Didn't Peters campaign on the mantra "send them a message", what do you think that message was?
Top was "designed" to take votes from the left, all policies leant themselves towards it deliberately, and then a full intention of teeing up with National, feel sorry for the voters who supported Top thinking they would some how deliver on social justice ...
No, I'm saying you fit the "cookie cutter template" of a NAt nut, had you actually criticized National for being the party YOU don't support, I might have believed you, But, you didn't, did you...........
Wayne 2 is a Nat nut, just pushing another angle of the G/Nat combo, remember, National will sink to any depth to retain power, and atm, they've pushed the panic button.
The current Green Party is a whole different to that of 10 yrs ago, Labours association with the Greens is now more equitable, the Greens have matured considerably, and have a good solid base of supporters, both parties have a common belief and both ...
Draco, On election night at the National party headquarters when English was arriving, the TV cameras panned across the crowd gathered to congratulate him, in the front rows were mostly non NZ decent supporters, which made a quite a large proportion of the...
In a word !!! PRINCEPLES, is what separates the Greens from National, and it's pretty clear which one has them and which one doesn't.
National are desperate, they thought they had it in the bag on election night, but one week on they're realising that it's more likely a LOSS for them, bad hangover for a lot. Trying to claim the moral ground when the Nats simply don't have any morals is ...
But weren't the Greens the only party to support National with the tax cuts set to be introduced in June?
BM " just make up shit they have no credibility." This is surely an accurate description of your beloved Party
It appears the only thing National and the Greens have in common is TAX cuts.
Desperation!!!!
+1 DoublePlusGood GST is a regressive tax that increases inequality, what you're suggesting is bang on. I don't think there would be a problem selling the idea as NZ just happens to have the WORST version of GST any where, NZ is the only country in the ...
Alwyn Nats can't form a Govt on Monday because they lost there Mandate, there is no guarantee of a coalition with any party, therefore they have lost, they may manage an agreement with NZF or NOT
Tracey, it can take up to 2 weeks for the overseas votes to arrive as they are dispatched on polling day from the country of origin.
James, has your memory departed you? or can't you remember the last time NZF and National shared Government, if you can't remember that far back, then perhaps you should try Googling it to refresh your memory about the tragic outcome, it is well documented...
You obviously subscribe to Herald, where FACTs don't exist, the reality is that National don't have a majority, and the opposition parties do, these are FACTs whether you choose to believe them or not. Precisely what is your assumption based on, certainly ...
The reality is that National lost the election, there is NO question of that, otherwise National would be celebrating, and they aren't, so until Peters makes up his mind it's anybody's, but my view from historical data is that the risk for Peters with ...
Statistics don't form part of the equation, were dealing with Winston Peters, has your memory departed you about the last time Peters sided up with National, it destroyed his party and National, he'll be thinking very carefully about that, so National ...
This game is not over, there really is a good chance of a Labour led Govt, better than 50%, we just need to remain calm and carry on, we know Winston is a little volatile, and he did loose his seat in Northland, very close at some points but lost by 1000 ...
But you admit that National did not win, IE: they lost and now very reliant on a party that the Nats have screwed over and over again, there is less than a 50% chance of National Governing, the most successful coalition with Peters has been with Labour, no...
What? celebrating that the Nats actually lost the election, no majority any more and now reliant on an enemy of the Nats to support them, you must have had way too much to drink last night to cloud the reality of the outcome, you assume Peters will slide ...
