As a follow on I found this article The Really Big One very interesting.

@MN5 They are just trolling us now,
@jegga this is precisely why the fern needs downvotes. Is there some dipshit on stuff who's job it is to watch HBs social media activity 24/7?
Actually, I don't think I could handle an answer to that.

Memo to labour, good luck trying to recapture the vote of the working people by being soft on crime. -
@jegga not to mention all the issues surrounding the Green-Labour alliance.
It looked like it was going to be a failure form the outset, doesn't appear to be doing anything to appease that.
-
@taniwharugby this guy was my local mayor and supported things like the living wage etc so he could hardly be called right wing but apparently he's too right wing for labour and now hes going to stand for national . He is very popular here and might actually be in with a chance to take a reasonably safe seat off labour.
Not Andys and the other leftards best work. -

That is just horrific...

I remember Russell Norman coming off looking quite rational during the last general election campaign whereas Turei is your typical left wing activist. There's always something or someone with more money than the average worker to blame, having aspirations is a sin. I bet she'd like to turn the basin reserve into a cooperative farm
-
Russell Norman was quite a composed and clever politician, now of course he is showing his true colours as the Obersturmbahnfuher of the environmental SS.
He is your classic well off urban Greenie who thinks everyone should just pay $10 for that bottle of milk etc. because it has green credentials.
I guess if my sister in law was a Hollywood actor I probably wouldn't worry much about money or reality.
-
Any views on James Shaw? He seems somewhat moderate for a Green (or maybe just appropriately two faced), someone who has worked in something resembling business (even if it was just as a management consultant for Pricks With Calculators) and not just as an advocate for the devastated masses of New Zealand who came into contact with the White Man.

@canefan they have a solid base of around 10% that will vote for them regardless of whatever insane things she says , while she's there talking shit like that they'll never do any better .
If you haven't read it yet see if you can get a copy of Mad Men by Steve Braunius , it's him following the 2014 election. He ends up at the house of some actor who had a small role in Lotr , Lucy Lawless and a couple of other prominent leftards are there too and Turei busts out her ukelele and starts a singalong of not given lightly by Chris Knox . I'm not making this up, Braunius is a very funny man and gives a pretty good rundown of how otherworldly the whole thing was.
