The current rise of populism challenges the way we think about peopleâs relationship to the economy.We seem to be entering an era of populism, in which leadership in a democracy is based on preferences of the population which do not seem entirely rational nor serving their longer interests. ...
The server will be getting hardware changes this evening starting at 10pm NZDT.
The site will be off line for some hours.
And when will they actually tell us what the last one did? I think Nat’s hope never!
Someone else will to the telling đ
I’m sure they are – hence the rise and rise of Winston!
Funny how Winston timed the release of his intended Bill on non-suppression yesterday…. (I wonder why he would possibly announce that then?)
Yep, a timely announcement by Winston. Prominent New Zealanders charged with sexual violence offences should not be able to hide behind name suppression unless it is necessary to protect the victim.
In cricketing terms what a lousy Captain John Key is by pulling stumps early ( admitting Team Key can’t win) and flying off to Australia on Saturday for Sundays Cricket World Cup final (starts 2pm).
When you think about it he has called his newby batting team mate through for a run then walked back to the creese leaving him stranded and running him out. Bit of an under arm bowl really.
but think of the photo opportunity! and the three-way hand shake if the bcs win!
I’d love to see the little wanker take to the field after we win. Amongst all those 2 metre men he would look like a tragic smurf, shit even the McCullums are a foot taller.
Attack a man (or shape shifting reptilian) over his lilliputian height, that’s class. Winston isn’t very tall either, none of them are. Although, without Abbott there, some political leader has to do some dumb shit.
John Key says National pulled back on promises.
Yesterday on Open mike, I wrote in sarcastic jest,
“Broking News:
John Key is flying directly from Japan to Dargaville. Because of the long almost sleepless journey, he has decided that soon after coming down to Earth, he will lie some more and feel quite relaxed after that.
He says Osborne is an underdog. So, soon after embarking, he will announce another, a âlittle bitâ longer bridge, to surpass the S.Franscisco golden one and connect Broadwood to Tuatapere. Both Key and parrot say that Northland deserves it.”
But no, Key now says that he has decided to pull back and not announce any more bribes today because of the previous massive backlash.

Key also dismisses the ‘zero chance’ Winston and says he won’t pick up the phone to Winston after the by-election:

When Keys talks about helping “us” he really means “US”(A).
or the NSA…..
I don’t believe the government of the USA is actually running the US.
Like New Zealand, thE real power there lies with multinational corporates.
That is the group behind the TPPA and TTIP.
do we have a law like son of sam in the usa where you cannot profit from crime ? eg by writing a book
Sabin’s (and now National’s) secret is like a dead fish – it does not improve with time.
Derryn Hinch seems to have come to the party.
Fuck off hinch. A man who will hinder as much as he thinks he is helping after he climbs over his ego to make some headline statement.
