Yeah I don't think she's particularly popular with most people, and the constant fluff from the media just annoys people. Although she did better than expected in the last election, that was largely due to the Greens implosion and they still got thoroughly beaten by National.
One thing is for sure though, Bridges is not the man to take National forward. Might be about time to cast him aside and install someone that at least has some leadership qualities.
I like Crusher, but I don't think her image is going to resonate with the swing voters. I still think Nikki Kaye would be a possible Jacinda Killer, I mean she's already beaten her twice before right?

Wait till the wedding is set in stone and a date is announced. It’s going to be fucking everywhere.
Tbf I think 90% of the constant fawning all things st Cindy is because our media seem so obsessed by celebrity rather then real world.
While she no doubt enjoys the attention and understands how personality politics works and is one of her advantages, im willing to bet at least part of her would like to be taken seriously or at least respected the way Aunty Helen was. -

Polling suggests you're wrong about Cindy's popularity.
Labour's win had much more to do with Nats inability to find a coalition partner than nay implosion by Greens
Bridge isn't going to win the next election for Nats, but who is? The drums keep beating for Crusher but is she really going to win National any support that they don't already have. Much as the right of the party love her she turns off a lot of voters too. She probably will take National into the next election but there's no need to change leaders just yet. Collins is known by the electorate if you change to her - you change 6 mths out. Anyone with a real ambition to lead the Nats will be biding their time waiting until post 2020
Yeah I didn't meant to imply Labour won because the Greens imploded, just that they took a lot of their votes which meant they finished higher than they would have. Agree it's a lack of a coalition partner that killed National.
Like you I'm not convinced Crusher will be able to get enough of the middle to go National. @canefan Kaye seems like a good option to me.
What are the chances of Winston hanging up his boots? NZF collapsing would change the dynamics of the next election.

@No-Quarter Adams and Kaye, double blonde fembots put into battle against Jacko. I would like to see Crusher close by, perhaps like Jacko has done, the henchmen lie back in the shadows doing much of the heavy work. No time for egos these days

I think Crusher only got one vote ( her own) during the last leadership challenge. She’d be a great deputy the same way English was. Get someone electable the public like in the top job and let crusher do the grunt work.
Speaking of which has anyone seen our deputy pm lately? Who is he?

Stop with the stupid questions and enjoy another photo and story about how surprised Jacko was when Gaylord proposed

He's on a field trip to PNG (persona non grata)

@Paekakboyz I was all ready to smack you down, then I discovered the other thread. So you will live to fight another day. Congrats.

Theres a working group that is deciding on social media regulation. The objectives of the group aren't public which is odd.
One name should stand out.

@jegga not to mention the low level corruption of jobs for the boys with her campaign manager, social media company, etc
The person in charge of the Heralds premium content is in there to, I'm sure someone in upper management of a business whos income is rapidly being destroyed by social media only has the best of intentions when it comes to regulating it.
This is not a person I want having a hand in regulating social media, try and count how many times she claims victim status in this article.
