National are panicking and are now accepting they will have to throw Colin Craig an electorate life line.
It’s a risky strategy because if the possibility of a Colin Craig, John Key and Jamie Whyte Government doesn’t motivate you to vote the buggers out – nothing will.
Imagine Colin Craig as Minister of Science. The Auckland Observatory would be bulldozed, the Lords Prayer implemented into the teaching curriculum and new laws to ban the Moon as the unblinking eye of Lucifer and label Moa bones as tricks by God to deceive believers in science.
For all the bitching about the coalition choices Labour face from blogs no one reads, Environmental Maori Nationalists with socialist leanings are preferable everyday of the week to legalised incest, chemtrials and passing mass surveillance laws.
I love the muppet analogy. If Colin’s case against Russell Norman does eventuate, it would be a great sight in the lead-up to the election, seeing a National Party or coalition politician under the bench in court making an alleged homophobic misogynist’s mouth move.
Priceless.
Well, it worked for Dr Zaius, Minister for Science and Chief Defender of the Faith…
…
..oh, wait, no, they destroyed the planet.
A reverse Darwinism barb Frank. Colin will be popping a vein in his forehead.
Indeed, McC! 😉
I for one welcome our muppet overlord.
Wonder if he’ll beat last times effort of $33 a vote this time round…
The two in coalition were bad enough add this other party in and its absolute madness. I can’t bare the thought.
And if Mr Craig steps back to let one of his team through – say, Christine Rankin?
If that doesn’t turn your blood gelid, think on the awfulness of Paula Benefit and the Lady of the Legs and Ear Rings… If you thought the last few years were hellish for beneficiaries, just imagine what those two gentle dames could inflict.
Not something I would pay for, and I have been known to pay for some dark services.
What a circus. Epsom, Ohariu, Te Tai Tokerau, somewhere on the North Shore – a bunch of clowns all trying to achieve the same trick, to get into Parliament. No abolition of coat tailing will sop these charades.
This must be the reason why it’s a Labour ploy to slag off MANA and end coat-tailing. Probably will create more damage than it’s worth as far as the election goes. However, it’s a good move for the long term survival of Labour – since policies seem to be beyond them (being a barely breathing corpse is considered survival to most Labour MPs)
Hahah ! Very funny Post Martyn Bradbury .
How did the ferret faced dingbat become a multi millionare ??? Selling jumping dash board Jesus’s to Pacific Island people ?
Panicking??
Every poll has them winning this election and trouncing the opposition. The Mana-Internet deal has proved highly unpopular in the electorate and Cunliffe can’t even get to 10% preferred Prime Minister.
Yeah, National are panicking Hard!!
Matthew, my suspicion is that you have no idea of how MMP works, that’s good. A right wing troll like you should be as ignorant as possible, that way when things unfold you are left looking shonky and deceptive.
Why do you think Key is looking at 3 electorate deals if he is as secure as you are pretending?
So feel free to illuminate us poor plebes, Real Matthew; if National has them winning this election and trouncing the opposition – then why is Key setting up deals in Epsom, Ohariu, and soon with the CCCP?!
And if the Mana-Internet deal has proved highly unpopular in the electorate – then surely you’d be happy-as-a-pig-in-mud at the prospect and not whining about it here, on TDB?!
Just as, if/when Key resigns as leader of the National Party, I’ll be delirious with joy if the Nats are dumb enough to elect Judith Collins as their new Leader.
Just my ten cents plus 15% GST worth…
So is there a book on what North Shore seat he will be gifted, will it be a Devonport cafe where the utterly loathsome cup of tea will be had or will it be Northcote Point?
The other 3 North Shore electorates are strongly being denied as being up for grabs by their National Party stake holders although with supreme irony Paul Bennett who does NOT hold Upper Harbour but rather Waitakere by a tiny hand full of votes is staunchly defending “her” electorate of Upper Harbour.
Therefore it looks like the flotsam of Nat MP’s, Johnno Coleman or “I wonder why she is there at all” Maggie Barry are going to become the jetsam and be shunted sideways to accommodate L Ron Hubbard.
A how to guide in swallowing a bucket load of dead rats will be required for the poor voting victims of this shot-gun marriage electorate, that being what Nat MP to vote for!
Agree; it’s as funny as Minister of Technology Layla Harre or Minister for Race Relations Hone Haraweira.
And on the matter of a National accommodation with the Conservative Party, why not. Just because David Cunliffe is to stupid to use the electoral rules to his advantage why should Key be equally gormless? Possibly the voters of Te Tai Tokerau have an aversion to dead rats even if it results I another three years of right wing government.
“why not”
consider that making an accomodation with a party that is already in govt, and has won the seat before is slightly different to ‘gifting’ a seat to a party that has 0 track record and hasnt yet proved itself electorally in any way
within the rules of course, and thats not trying to deny the votes each MIGHT get – but do you see the difference there?
Craig does bear a striking resemblance to Beaker. It’s the eyes.
How IS that defamation case going?
