One of the real reasons why National is so sky high in the polls is because of their unprecedented success with female voters.
The next generation of women who grew up under Helen saw feminism as less solidarity with the sisterhood and more ‘what have you done for me lately’. Unpoliticized with no ideological loyalties, women have flocked to the laid back aspirational charm of Key in a way female voters have not done for the right of NZ politics. This huge chunk of the voting populace is the reason Key is anxiously trying to claim he isn’t sexist because he would pull a mans hair too and it’s the reason Judith Collins is now suddenly celebrating being a feminist.
National’s internal polling must be showing female voters who were once pro Key as walking away in disgust. Dirty Politics, GCSB and 5 Eyes mass surveillance may be concepts that are difficult to identify with, but a powerful man touching you at work for their amusement is something many can immediately conceptualise.
National have always done well with the bloke vote of NZ, but the reason why national has been so far impervious to poll drops is because women have surprisingly thrown in their lot with National as well, if women who vote National walk away, Key has a problem and hence the smirk on Collins face.
If there is to be an impact it will be in the next set of polls and my guess would be that vote will leave National for the Greens.
Martyn, Key is on Pluto alright, not earth.
And Judith Collins is now suddenly celebrating being a feminist. “Yeah right.” another bull shitter.
They believe Key is an inspirational leader?
Key is a desperate burned out trader, dealing only in false hope.
We will be left with deep long lasting debts, as he tried to reap his reckless pattern of selling all the silver till nothing is left then he will flee from our wrecked country with our broken economy
Some advice for Mr Key:
Write out 100 times:
I will not touch women’s hair OR men’s hair, otherwise National will lose votes.
FJK hasn’t the guts to touch a man’s hair. Particularly that of a massive huge 150kg bouncer! Love him to tell one of those guys his pony tail is quite “tantalizing!”
While Key is busy pleasuring himself pulling hair, the equally devious Collins will be busy pulling the numbers I’d say, preparing for a leadership bid, realizing Key’s days are numbered.
I agree, simply as I stated on a post yesterday that I had a two way hunch about Collins coming back, either as support for Keybecause he is losing his hold, or that Collins wants to have a shot at leadership just like Shipley did.
It’s good to see someone else sees it as I have. But god help us if Collins does get in and take over. In someways, at least Key will be gone, but Collins will use this as her revenge against Key, and be even more ruthless, on an even sneakier, underhanded method ofgame play.
Well if the clip below becomes common knowledge [and somebody has been trying to bury it for years] John Keys forthcoming days might be spent at her Majesty’s pleasure!

I couldn’t make a link Dave? Can you be more specific?
Key stick to the pony tail on your wife if she can grow one.
The spin doctor’s are in damage control now for Key, but what wally decided it would be a good idea to get Key to admit he’d also play with men’s hair?
What are the sportsjocks that tweeted for the PM on election day going to think now, because in the damage control to bring women back to Brand Key, Key now says he could run his fingers through men’s hair?
Will women be convinced about the state of Brand Key now that men’s hair is fair game? Will Key still be welcome in changing rooms after match after this new revelation?
Looks like desperation to salvage any damage control that’s got too far out of hand for the spin doctors to pull back on and keep under control. Guess the pressure cookers about to flip its lid.

I do not admire John “Sociopath” Key, but he has been a very good puppet to his masters and keeps his cool (with his script) under most confrontations….”Smile and walk away” when required !! Judith “Crusher” “Oravida” Collins in comparison has nothing on J”S”K, cracking under pressure and only going down because the “Dirty Politics” brigade check-mated themselves thinking info was coming out when in fact it was not about to at all…shooting themselves in the feet….Gardening duty for Jude. (or can we assume there was a take-over bid that was quashed) !!! JK has not had to be put into Gardening duty once as far as I can recall (and I (as many others) have a better memory than JK it seems).
Q & A panel on Sunday put “Crusher” as just too old now and with the Oravida bizzo still fresh, there is doubt she would have any leadership bid recognized by her own party or indeed any cred left. They put Pullya Benefit and Simple Simon as the best contenders, if there was to be an overthrow of leadership and/or the next up and comings within the Party. I note that Pullya did NOT use the BMW services for her Northland trip…she is keeping her nose as clean as she can it seems, all very calculated moves, a very dangerous bitch to watch if ever there was !!!
As far as news today that the “Round Table” has no chatter about “Ponytail Gate” as MSM are calling it, just says to me that they are all holding their tongues and waiting and seeing how this all plays out before they all pounce…there will be a huge scrap within the National Party, and I doubt we will have to wait long for it to happen. The sex-up Brother of a cabinet minister and the Sabin issues are still to play out.
I have read that Whale Oil calls JK “A Temporary PM”, he obviously has his power hat on when he says that and I am sure he has loads of crap on JK if he really wanted to use it, but I suspect Slater is a saddest and wishes to draw out the pain as long as it will play out, after all, he will be able to write more blogs as it all unfolds and he will have Unique info to cover any story that others will not have.
So….interstinger and interstinger as we go on with 2015.
I have to say that I am impressed that “Action Station” (Is this the equivalent of “Get-UP Auzzie” ?) is starting to make ground as a “Base” to have actions of our people co-ordinated. I am very happy to see organizations getting together using this “One Stop Shop” for more power to the people, we must make sure that as they grow, they ARE actually keeping to the goal for the people and NOT infiltrated by the oppressors. I think there has been too many small groups making valiant attempts to shout out loud, but I see “Action Station” gaining momentum being able to co-ordinate the many small groups into larger more powerful voices and I would love to see this grow for the sake of all of us. Cheers Y’all xx
I wonder: could you imagine John Key pulling the hair of Paula Bennett, Judith Collins, Anne Tolley et al..?
No, he wouldn’t because they represent powerful women to him and that is the whole point here. Key did what he did to Amanda Bailey because of the power difference: he didn’t regard her as an equal and therefore in his mind it gave him licence to indulge in a bit of “horse play” as he put it. I am reminded of the old adage: treat others as you would wish to be treated yourself.
A Prime Minister of the People, as Key always likes to believe he is, would not have such a condescending attitude to those he considers less powerful.
It isn’t much different from “Me Tarzan, you Jane!”
This is not the first time he has displayed such supreme arrogance in this regard. A man of the people? yeah right! Only Mike Hosking, Paul Henry and a few other toadies still believe this. Even whaleblubber man is voicing his doubts.
Judith Collins is a masterful dreamer if she thinks she has a chance in hell of being a NZ Prime minister or even getting back into Parliament beyond the back bench. Balls the size of watermelons.
Her credibility and her greed and nonsense behavior puts her in a category far from what decent NZ citizens want to see in political leadership. Lacking in ethics and integrity come to mind.
A cop like critter on mega steroids thinking that the people love her and can easily forget. Talk about being out of touch and in her own world.
I do agree with Sally in that Donkey has been a very good puppet to the corporate elite. He plays his role well but to bad for him that many of us now see right through the thin veneer into the abyss of deceit and lies.
BIASED Polls are for fools, not to be taken very seriously, likely they are rigged anyway. I pay no attention to any of them but many still seem mesmerized.
“my guess would be that vote will leave National for the Greens”
That would be a big leap. I think the thing is that younger women (under 40) are into “sexy” and “fun”, not well thought out policies that will actually allow them to have fun. They like(d) John Key because he was seen as being “anti-wowser” and (not that I can see this) “sexy” When you think of the typical younger woman voter don’t think young people fighting to save the environment, think Courtenay Place, Wellington on a Friday night. The girls in the Young Nats calendar might be seen as belonging to this group. Dumping on them the term “sexist” doesn’t help win their vote. They just see this as a further example of wowserism.
NB See http://andc.anu.edu.au/australian-words/meanings-origins?field_alphabet_value=281
“The term wowser – surely one of the most impressive and expressive of Australian coinages – is used to express healthy contempt for those who attempt to force their own morality on everyone. The person who abstains from alcohol (for whatever reason) is not thereby a wowser: s/he’s just probably very fit. But when s/he tries to force everyone else to do as s/he does, then s/he is a wowser. Or as C.J. Dennis defines the term: ‘Wowser: an ineffably pious person who mistakes this world for a penitentiary and himself for a warder’.”
