I really hope its C, suspect B, pray its not A.
Is Hipkins up to the education portfolio? Seemed lightweight to me. Someone ought to be able to savage Parata.
*Give either FInance or Economic Development to Cunliffe. *Find a heavier weight to savage Parata.
Damn right.
1. Little, seems like the only one who can sort out the caucus, and unite the broader left. 2. Mahuta, mana 3.Parker, too dry 4. Robertson, a career rat
I'd love to know how much the roading lobby, truck co's, civil contractors etc have donated to the National Party over the years.
David Parker = Bill English.
Given the Govts attacks on worker rights, having a strong unionist as head of the Labour Party might be a Very Good Thing.
More likely this: http://dimpost.wordpress.com/2014/09/23/inevitable-labour-pontification-post/
If the Labour Party has so much talent on its front bench that it can afford to dump Cunliffe, how come we're not in power?
Yes, I read that Ian, but it didn't really get into the nitty gritty, which is what interests me.
And he did what exactly?
This may well have been covered elsewhere, in which case a link would be nice. After the debacle of the Bill English leadership in 1999 when they only got 22% of the vote, how did the NP go about their rebuild. It can't all be down to Key.There must have ...
During war, you use every available weapon. If personal details are a weapon, use them. He tried to destroy the left, why are we playing nice?
My best guess Nats 42% Lab 30% Green 15% NZF 8% Cons 4% ITT wins TTT, but thats all. Maori Party, who cares. ACT wins Epsom, but only 1 seat Dunne looses Ohariu It'll be a fun but anxious ride on Sunday and beyond.
Maybe he did as you suggest, and found, quelle horreur, that KDC might be right!!
Where is Steven Joyce? Babysitting Jason Ede?
Tbh Puddleglum, I doubt it. It's just business after all.
You might not always agree with Danyl, but he's on the money here. http://dimpost.wordpress.com/2014/08/15/dirty-politics-and-consequences/ Not just words are required, but action.
Some basic knowledge of western culture would be advantageous though.
Do the names Aaron Gilmore and Claudette Hauiti mean nothing to you?
Having to talk policy.
Any idea what are these "dark rumours that Pablo is talking about? "One thing is certain. If dark rumours are correct, the government has some unpleasant surprises for the IP in the weeks leading to the election. If that happens, it may take more than ...
If John Key reckons looking like a prat wins him votes, good luck to him.
Caucus is just going to have to be more focused. Talk past the likes of Hoskings. He doesn't care about policy, but I bet the public wants to hear it. So talk about it.
Policy, policy policy. Remark about Hosking, Brownlee, Key etc, then talk about policy. Anything else is always going have a negative spin on it, even it is a valid complaint. The more we talk about policy, at EVERY opportunity, the better.
Which is exactly what the Nats are doing to TVNZ and Nat Rad. Deliberately run them down. Then disengenuously state that to thrive they need to be in private hands.
http://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/article.cfm?c_id=1&objectid=11297254 The Nats lose another one. There must be a very shallow gene pool for them to choose from.
My bad, picked it up from twitter, column is from 2008.
Interesting column in the sst today by Nick Hager. http://www.stuff.co.nz/510500/Nats-secret-advisers-accused-of-dirty-tricks-in-Aussie Be interesting if any other news media picks it up. I suspect not.
As far as the food chain goes, the party grandees, (Joyce) see anyone below the pm as expendable. Their reputation at least. I suspect collins could be caught eating babies and not be sacked so close to the election.
