a kiwi version of Atlantropa... madness https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atlantropa
its a wonderful character test - the answer given shows character or lack thereof - not by if they were pro or anti but in their ability to actually answer, given how badly the previous Prime Minister handled questions on his personal views about the tour...
I like your thinking about the three parties - I would like to see all three stand up for those who don't/can't/won't/whatever work (those ion benefits) - those who give the govt their targeted 5% unemployment... we will never come close to a caring ...
ah cool - sorry I wasn't sure if your previous comment was to me or Pauls points (which Tricledrown nails with number 11) personally I want a stronger Labour and Greens... am quietly optimistic that the two parties are working better together than ever ...
telling people to bugger off isn't really how one creates unity is it - isn't labour a broad church (fuck I hate that term - what are we fairy followers?)
voting can already be sociable... when I was young our flat would got to vote together... we'd all enjoy a sausage from the sausage sizzle (fund raiser) outside the primary school polling station... then go to the pub about the only thing youngsters can't ...
I use hope in the sense of what the word means not a hollow word to be plastered on posters - i.e. brighter future or as you say Obama A party that has solid progressive policies (that benefit the people and the nation - i.e. environment), a crop of ...
give people hope.... the one thing no political party really offers we've soundbites, catching campaign lines, key words and rarely policy... but nothing our politicians say gives the non voter any hope that their lives will be better young people without ...
LOL cause he asked for it... thats a great response, thanks
why does bombers blog have union sponsorship and support?
fiscally conservative prime minister saves huge war chest for the election... ceding seat to Labour and saving face in what could have been an embarrassing contest kinda weird but hey
no book will ever sway the NZ public nor media over Key - they eased past dirty politics as you say bombers an idiot
I wonder if Barclay realises he may just have blown his opportunity to hold the seat until he decided to retire what a plonker
I wonder what it says about those whom are willing to believe these stories or at least not verify them and their usage of social media - i.e. the platforms that circumvent the MSM, given an increasingly large number of people get most of their news from ...
there were a number of stories around this earlier in the year or last year... it didn't look good - i.e. cronyism seemed rife or at least open to allegations of... but that was a long long time ago
Skills - are young people here still taught to question things? I know this was something installed into me repeatedly as a youngster.... which serves me better today than ever before as I check sources, google phrases to check validity... seek news ...
" fully loaded with nutcase religious fundamentalists for whom murder is the response of first resort to perceived offences against their shithouse superstition. " you've just described the USA too
either the US sorts itself out... which we all know won't happen, if anything they will only get worse... or the rest of the world holds the USA and allies accountable for their crimes - crimes we sit back and excuse (if not outright support)
yes it does effect people - hence my comments - I want change, we won't get change if Labour continue to make the fundamental mistake of lossing Throwing silly insults my way won't change the dynamic at play here -we're on the same fucking side... so well ...
Actually to defend the policy on its merit (explain) rather than change the comms is a fundamental mistake - no one cares about the policy details outside of the gotchas ... given the reaction to the line of questioning everyone (in the media & govt ...
i'm no party strategist nor media expert... but how well has Labour complaining about how the media portrait them gone in the past - justified or not its not going to work any different than the last times The party is repeating these own goals - has ...
I was curious as to why Key cancelled his 2010 trip and found this - so Fran's not the first to point this out and the damage Key did at the time... though good to see it reiterated interesting to note the trip wasn't long after National voted to continue ...
that is a crass symbol you use as your avatar isn't it? if it is please re-read your comment and remember the many things Crass did to battle Thatcher including the Thatchergate tapes
the govt has very little interest or input into how the rich raise their children.... It is only concerned with labelling the poor as shit parents
... tiny decrease for a very short time... I can see through...
We don't need a Ombudsman’s report to know he's a scumbag... and no way will he ever resign over something as trivial as breaking the rules
COOL story bro.... what a brighter future we all share
this is an interesting issue - one that really divides the kinds of people we are... on one hand we have the "I've got mine fuck youse" mob who see nothing wrong with making money as long as its legal (or you're not caught I'd imagine - eh tax cheats) so ...
I'm not sure about the distraction - changing public perceptions is a long game
whenever this lot publish their "research" I have to remind myself they're the new face of the previously known Business Roundtable - an organisation many of us know by deed and history - i.e. we knew exactly what they stood for Everytime this mob publish ...
Juking the stats... juking the stats... argue about what the stats mean.... Did I miss the bit where anyone said the figure was unacceptable and their party would drop unemployment by x% by doing "______" Every time the rate is published their is the ...
