@jegga Yesterday Hooton was saying Greens and NZF are both on 6% which makes Winnie the king / queen maker again.
In such a scenario I don't see anything has changed in the last couple of years that would stop him jumping into bed with Cinderella again.
Glad the Nats have marginalised the environmental argument of the Greens by signing on the new multi-partisan Bill.
I think strategically given all the above their best bet is to go all 2008 again and rule out a coalition with Winnie in the hope that any right leaning supporters desert him and he fails to make the threshold. Then its a straight shoot out between N/ACT and L/G
@canefan I think this is simply a vanity project for Tava. If TOP with bucket loads of money and 4 years couldn't get there last time what chance has he got with 12 mths prep time. The Progressive Greens in 96 had more money and more profile and got less than half a percent. Surely now that the environmental policies of Nat and Greens are so similar right leaning Greens are better voting for National than wasting their vote on Tava

@dogmeat rumours of a deal with the greens to give them Peter Dunnes old seat of Ohariu . Greg O’Conner hasn’t exactly stood out in his first term and I wouldn’t be surprised if he quit .
Now labour and the greens and their blogs have whined for the past decade or so about Epsom and ACT being nationals poodle so to actually do this would be incredibly hypocritical. Good thing they don’t appear to have much integrity.

Here’s Ardern avoiding questions about her refusal to go on a radio show unless there’s “ another march 15 “
-
For someone who complained about her being a part time prime minister, he sure is complaining a lot about her dropping a local radio interview to spend more time on prime ministerial duties.
As a Cantabrian, I'm not the least bit offended that the PM has better things to do than regularly be on a local show, because, quite frankly, she does. I'd have thought the Leader of the Opposition had better things to ask about in the House, but if that's what occupies his time and concerns, she must be doing a good job.

I expect the leader of the opposition to call out our cynical part time pm for exploiting tragedy for her own exposure overseas and polling numbers here in NZ
Actually being interviewed about her job seems to be beneath , being photographed for Vogue . Well she’s all over that .

Like jaunts to be on US talk shows in the US? Meeting celebs for coffee? Doing soft articles for womens mags?
She is a part time PM, and what precious time she does dedicate to her actual job, she spends of it preparing for a job at the UN. -
Too busy to do interviews unless there’s a tragedy to exploit for her own personal gain and yet...,,,
Play date with Pink
Picked up Colbert from the airport and took him out for coffee
Eating scones with Ed Sheeran
@Godder The Part Time PM tag fits her like a glove . Key was a shameless fame whore but he had nothing on Ardern.
Just wait till she releases the guest list for her wedding which is coincidentally in an election year . What an empty hollow shell of a person she is.

You all sound remarkably bitter. Nice to see Key Derangement Syndrome is alive and well.
Is that meant for me?
If you can’t address the topic which is Arderns reluctance to be interviewed by someone who caught her out lying about Curran and claims to be too busy but can find time to pick up a talk show host from the airport and instead try to deflect it says a fair bit about our part time pm .
She’s a joke who only cares about her international profile while in the meantime flagship policies of Kiwibuild are an absolute farce and her administrations response to one of her staff sexually assaulting teenage volunteers is to ban them from parts of parliament.
Your deflection and reluctance to actually address her performance in light of that is understandable.

Bitter? Maybe, but if you cannot be politically bitter about a virtue signalling empty vessel who is supposed to be leading this country but is instead doing sweet FA but lead us into a recession, what are you supposed to be politically bitter about?
What has this govt actually done? What has Ardern actually done? -

which she has managed remarkably well...I am sure you have friends/family in other parts of the world too, for some reason most I know seem to think she is great or is portrayed that way in thier media; all smoke and mirrors

Yep, have family in the US that think she’s great. When I press for why it’s like pushing against spiderwebs, no substance

Yep and my parents were just in Canada and were subjected to a couple of the locals thrashwanking about Ardern . When they asked why they felt that way about her it boiled down to one speech and wearing a hijab. Thats effectively all they knew about her, nothing about the sexual assaults and cover ups, the continual policy failures.snd complete lack of substance to her administration. Ffs , no wonder they ended up with a male version of Ardern leading their country.
I’m hoping next year she pushes it too far basing her re-election campaign around her wedding by doing stuff like inviting cuck celebrities such as Colbert and the public see through the cynicism of it and really turn on her come Election Day .
Winston’s humiliation in court is enjoyable to watch too, I see the judge is making him pay for part of Tolley and Bennett’s legal costs.

Listening to Yasmine Mohammad on a recent Sam Harris podcast, and Adern came up in conversation.
Yasmine is an apostate, ( escaped her Al Quada husband), and highlighted how repugnant it was for Adern to promote attire that plainly and effectively renders the wearer to being completely beneath society and devoid of ANY free will.Yasmine mentioned it does untold harm to burkha'ed women when western women glorify this insane subjugation of innocent women.
-
@Siam i heard her on the Jamie Kilstein podcast . She said she was appalled that western women think it’s a gesture of solidarity when women in Iran get beatings for refusing to wear one and worse in other places. Her rant about Hijab barbie was world class .
Obviously she’s not trying to get a UN job in New York though .

Based on this I expect Ardern to visit a pad wearing a patch
Reminds me of that stuff article a whiles back which was equating the removal of guns as part of Jacinda's de-arming of the country as racism when the gangs said they wouldn't hand over their guns.

Hone Harawira said the same thing in his usual ingnorant fuckwitted way . Many thanks to Kimdotcom for removing this stain from parliament
