Because they don't really do anything except perhaps author punishing regulations.
Yeah, but Bernie is in the US, not NZ. NZ is already where Bernie wants to take the US.
BTW Miravox- If you really don't like the policies you go to the election with, you can go back on them once you win power. Its why I am so pissed at the Key govt. Key spoke on certain things, and promised other things that induced me to support him, but ...
"There’s no point in that. Then Labour would be National. I’m in the Left sphere for all those ‘few examples’ and more. I’m not in it to be National." Look, I actually admire your stand on principles, but your problem is that Key has no such principles. ...
Really, its long past time that you guys woke up to how Key continues to beat you. Its not rocket science, yet it appears Labour strategists are completely bereft of any ideas for turning things around. Why can't you see the reality that is there in such ...
Frank- The political divide these days is really between Progressives and Conservatives and Slater definitely does not fit the latter category. I was banned from his site ostensibly for calling him a dickhead but really because my comments opposing same ...
Lewis Holden has been asked about this (by a number of different people) on Twitter but so far I have not seen any response. Non-response makes me more curious.
There needs to be some serious questions asked about the donors to Lewis Holden's flag change group. If John Key was/ is funding it by any means this should be public knowledge and Key should declare that he is doing so. Same with any other Nat MPs or ...
“I followed that link to truebluenz….sicked up in the back of my throat a little and needed to burn all my clothes. yuk yuk yuk” I get the same old “its outrageous that you should say such things”, but for God’s sake, I’m being critical of the National ...
"You’re hatred for key, and the right, completely consumes and blinds you." Good grief, what kind of "right winger" would support a party that is virtually a continuation of Helen Clark's governance except maybe even worse. We owe $100 billion spent to ...
I think anyone saying that Key is far right really has a mental problem. I've already explained above how by means of the size of govt, expenditure and debt NZ is further left today than it ever was under Helen Clark. It is the opposite of what anyone far ...
Key has taken NZ and the Nats so far left there's no real political argument any more. That is why current affairs/ political shows are dying out. There's nothing to watch or listen to other than silly inter-socialist bickering. A complete lack of ...
Key is not a moderate. He represents an extreme right ideology. Yeah, more people in govt, more debt, more expenditure, more even than Helen Clark. All the hallmarks of an extreme right wing zealot. FFS...!!
"In January, the first public poll of the year showed National with 49.8 per cent support, Labour on 29.1, the Greens on 9.3, and New Zealand First on 6.9. " After about a dozen "scandals" over the year attacking John Key, mostly with PC based criticisms, ...
I think Key is an idiot and he sure acted like one when he appeared on the subject radio show. Painful to watch. Just bringing the office of PM down. But it was nothing more than idiocy. To try and turn it into an attack on women, or indicating support of ...
Islam is more than a religion, its a political ideology with beliefs that are at odds with the Constitution of the United States Republic. Namely its ambition to eventually achieve a theocratic tyranny.
I don't think its about me. Everywhere I go I read the left lamenting the fact that they cannot put a dent in Key's popularity or grow their own support. I'm telling you why I think that is. I think you're out of touch with public opinion. I also think ...
Look, I do not like Key, as any one who has read my blog will know, but these attacks on John Key for perceived transgressions of tyrannical politically correct dictates will backfire on you badly. Donald Trump is riding a wave of popularity in the US ...
OK, fair enough. I withdrew from this issue because I don't think it involves the HDCA and I still think I am right about that. I can't see any other reason to get involved really. Its a can of worms, and while you have made your view of PG clear enough ...
A few people on here are saying PG is fundamentally honest. Based on my own personal engagement with PG and observing his engagement with others I would disagree strongly. Nevertheless, we're all entitled to our own opinions. However, I would warn anyone ...
I've decided I made a mistake in believing this was an issue involving the HDCA. Even though one of the litigators has claimed to have used it as the basis for the court action, I just do not think it is possible to do so at this early stage of its ...
OK. Think you're right on both issues.
Thanks for that comment V, and the information. Do you think this truly involves the HDCB? I'm starting to think maybe it does not. (Although the complainant seems certain that it does.)
OK, I'll adjust my post to draw attention to that, but a real post on the issue here wouldn't go astray.
I think this is an issue that everyone concerned with the slow demise of the right to freedom of expression should be concerned with. Thank The National Party for this atrocious abuse of process.
Maybe Shearer and Nash could leave Labour and join the Nationals. Drag the Nats to the right a bit.
"It’s a funny old world watching liberal westerners defend it." Exactly, and that is why these kinds of issues are a no win for the left. All they do is give Slater and his friends the opportunity to berate you as illogical and haters of western society. I...
You're on to it.
Tracey- it is a mistake to give Slater any publicity. Or a means to generate sympathy and support. He is fading away, his finances are failing, his Freed news venture has gone nowhere, he's begging his readers for financial support. Just let him fade into ...
" There’s no such thing as race " It actually doesn't matter. In spite of Morrisey's waffling, the real issue here is culture. and being as you were brainwashed by the advocates of Critical Theory rather than being educated, you can't see the conflict. ...
"before jumping in to defend your favourite thug?" FFS, I'm no friend of Slater, as the slightest bit of research (fact checking) would tell you. The very first comment on this thread references a tweet. The complaint is unclear enough as it is without ...
