To be fair, any anti Labour person isn't going to see anything good in his speech and anything that is good is going to be put in a light that it is bad.<br><br><br><br><br>

Claire Trevett is fairly pro labour, she was at the speech and here's her take <a class="bbc_url" href="http://m.nzherald.co.nz/politics/news/article.cfm?c_id=280&objectid=11643048">http://m.nzherald.co.nz/politics/news/article.cfm?c_id=280&objectid=11643048</a><br><br>
He said quite a while ago he'd resign if he lost an election , he hasnt said anything about not standing . National would be pretty screwed without him. -
<p>but more screwed than a Little-lead Labour?</p>

<p>Before the last election there was a certian amount surprise in some circles that he would do a third term as he had kiven clues that two was enough. I just assumed that if that was the case that 4 would certainly be one too many for him.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Good on him though as I feel that he would only do this if he thought he could give three years dedication again. For someone with so much money, it must be one of the suckiest jobs he has had to do but he obviously enjoys it for the most</p> -

Can you ask how Max is? There hasn't been an article for a while now and I'm sure I'm not the only one who's a bit worried. -

<p>I'm just hoping Hilary is able to work out here last hew days with as little stress as possible.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>So who else didn't bother voting last election ?</p> -
<p>I always vote.</p>

I didn't last time. Choosing one guy cos he's marginally less of a dick than the other isn't enough to earn my vote and I certainly wasn't alone in my thinking on that one according to the stats.</p></blockquote>

Well it's pretty much always between two people who are dicks. -

<p>While I was gloating about the election victory to my leftard friends some of them asked me how I could bring myself to vote for the great satan, I asked how the hell they could vote for a govt of labour/nz first/ greens and mana which is what the alternative was. This usually resulted in a pause and some sort of muttered "oh well ,you know...." kind of response.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Next time around I expect Winston to cause even more shit, the morning after the last election he said he was the actual leader of the opposition not silent t.</p>
