So which agreement has priority now? The similar agreement the Greens made with the National Party in 2009, or the one they made with the Labour Party today? [The two matters are entirely different in tone and context, as you well know. Engage your brain ...
Thank you indeed. Magnanimity is a virtue seldom witnessed these bitter days.
My latest post is up. Read it if you want to understand why you can't lay a glove on John Key. There are two main strategies that have kept him relatively unscathed and you need to build your own strategies to counter them. The real reason the left can't ...
Yep, Labour need to open their eyes to the massive gap that exists between them and the man in the street on these issues. Most Labour voting guys I know, (rough men) have nothing but contempt for them.
My latest post touches on these issues, and I am sure given it is extremely critical of John Key and National, readers of The Standard will find something of interest in it.
"We should stand for ensuring equality for all not just based on class, but also based on sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, age, and ethnicity. " Go for it. Split your party further. Drive it even further down in the polls. Too dull to pick that ...
Progressives are destroying Labour not Andrew Little. He's doing the best he can with a poorly disciplined divided rabble. Labour's message has always been about raising the aspirations of the working class. Allowing them to move into the middle class, buy...
"That is not going to change any time in the next decade." Not as long as the spineless progressive surrender monkey JK has anything to do with it that's for sure. You can take the boy out of the state house, but you can't take the state house out of the ...
Ian H- National have completely capitulated in the battle of ideas. NZers are left wing only because the National Party willingly submits to the left's rule over discussion and comment and refuses to argue for any alternative ideas. National are gutless ...
Why is there not more investigation by media into how much influence the Communist Party of China has bought within the National Party? Is it because the CPC also owns Labour and the NZ MSM as well? This story, broken by David Fisher should be making ...
Received political wisdom is that NZ is a conservative country, tending to the right. Interesting then, to see this data on our voting preferences re American presidential candidates When is the Labour Party going to realise that their portrayal of ...
Yes, I know what you mean, and a lot of that criticism came from "Progressives" within the Labour Party. The same people who have been dragging it away from core Labour issues for decades and who are in my humble opinion, most responsible for the party's ...
Amazing how the left are so keen to get something on John Key but appear to have completely overlooked something real and important. This is an issue that needs a whole lot more investigation and exposure. Where is it in the NZ media? Why is it being ...
Notice none of the usual Nat party outlets (blogs) are referencing this story (so far) with the usual heavy application of white wash. I suspect there could be a lot more to this.
Skimmed through the above comments but did not see anyone referencing what I think is the most important point here. That is- Did any of these Chinese donors have any connection to the Chinese govt? Why is this important? Because IMHO it would be close to ...
Jenny, you or Mickey or any Labour supporter should not worry too much about John Key's initial reaction to any suggested Labour party policy. Give him a couple of years to think about it, while he talks with Mark Textor and or Lynton Crosby, and gets old ...
On Wednesday evening 16/9/15 @ the Canterbury Champion Biz Awards, John Key is reported to have said people opposed to flag change were "not as bright as the ones who wanted to change". Then Key asked for a show of hands. If this is true this is straight ...
I don't like Key for various reasons but I don't see how even an objective person could fail to notice the longevity of his deceit on the flag issue. Right from the start, the charter written to outline the process said there "should not ever be any ...
The oil price would be OK, its the National Govt and its new regulations that make it too costly to drill for. Compliance costs probably run to $30 /bbl. Maybe even more. I mentioned this to Andrew Little, but he said he was fine with it. Apparently he'd ...
True, but assuming that an opposition party only has a certain amount of capital to use on criticism, because of the danger of appearing over-critical, they need to try and make sure it hits as hard as possible. For myself, I think Key and Nats have been ...
Sorry, debt around $70 billion, spending getting close to $100 billion.
Hooton is often critical of Key already. And rightfully so. There is in fact plenty of real reason to be critical of Key. However the effect of any criticism has been blunted by the left's tendency to make it personal rather than policy. For example the ...
Brian Rudman makes the case Why focus on other cultures and not our own? Labour is making a big mistake by refusing to confront John Key on the Chinafacation of NZ. Kiwis do not want their native traditional culture subjugated by a foreign culture, an ...
Anno1701- OK, maybe you could be a little more helpful. If you think British descendants who are proud of their heritage and culture should visit the Stormfront site, what site would you recommend for the following- - Chinese and other Asians who are proud...
Yes, the other big problem with the silver fern is it really only looks impressive on a black background. Unless you want a black flag to go with it, the silver fern cannot be used.
vto- Thanks for your support. Your sentiments are not something I would want to disagree with too much.
"Having the Union Jack fills me with pride every time I look at it flying high…. and I have it flying high right on my property, just like loads of other loyal Kiwis are doing." Well said. The thrust to change NZ’s traditional flag comes from the National ...
Cameron Slater often appears pretty clueless about US politics, but his heading today demonstrates a surprising level of ignorance- Quote "South Carolina goes to Trump and Clinton" Unquote. Clinton won the Democratic caucus in Nevada. The Republicans held ...
Kiwiblog commenters intensely dislike criticism from the right. I'm sick of that bunch (largely) of weak confused psychopaths/ Progressives. At least Labour makes an attempt to stand up for what they believe in.
Kind of funny that a claim like that rests here without an example. Key said WFF was “communism by stealth” but after he was elected he did nothing. He’s spending far more than Clark ever did. He’s taxing more than Clark. Debt is greater than under Clark. ...
Thanks for the reply Steve. BTW, IIRC you once frequently posted under the Redbaiter handle yourself when you were into the cowardly and dishonest device of internet impersonation. Are there any worse scum on the internet?
