The knives are out for Judith again with rumours swirling that her vicious caucus knee-cappings and last interview with Indira have finally forced the Muller traitors to see Simon Bridges as the lesser of all evils.
She is so desperate to stop David Seymour cannibalizing the vote on her right she’s begging Don Brash to help her.
If she is so desperate for power that she will reanimate the unholy political corpse of Don Brash back from the crypt, it shows you ole Judith is in it to win it.
I mean if you’re prepared to open the race baiting Gates of Hades for mere personal advancement, that just means they don’t share your go getter attitude right?
Judith’s leadership is like Tinder for sociopaths.
They always swipe right.
Her willingness to enter very cheap Faustian pacts is like a Warehouse bargain home brand Machiavellianess, in that it’s not very good but it’s very cheap.
This basic He Puapua racism shtick won’t appeal to anyone other than men over 50 who think calling the Prime Minister ‘Cindy’ is clever satire.
And National already have their votes.
Judith is so focused on stopping David Seymour from becoming the Leader of the Opposition that she can’t be the Leader of the Opposition.
Replacing Judith however still leaves National hollow
National have no policy announcements, no big ideas and no intellectual integrity.
Replacing Judith doesn’t save National.
In the middle of a crisis what did National MPs do as the polls tanked? They turned on their leader, appointed a nobody who couldn’t handle the jandle, and saw MP after MP self mutilate themselves.
National showed us who they were. A pack of cowards who would turn on their own leader just to save their jobs.
Who the fuck is going to vote due that?
Their small government mantra is not wanted during a national crisis when everyone is looking to the government for security.
The only way National win is if NZ loses by the virus getting back into the country.
National are now a bakery you have gotten multiple food poisoning from, you might vote for them but you’ll end up vomiting.
National has 99 problems and while Judith is at least 50 of them, that still leaves 49 problems.

Dear oh dear, National is sick, bordering terminal.
They will not get rid of her from the leadership without a destructive fight and if they have her there its destruction regardless.
And if they do manage to perform a successful exorcism, she as the member for Papakura will mean her destructive presence of remains. With revenge top of the list.
Couldn’t happen to a more deserving group of creeps!
The danger is that people vote against policy in NZ, not for it. So in the past Labour have fucked up with going for something their woke crowd thought was wonderful and listened to the right wing media braying.. and they lost.
ScoMo won an unwinable election in OZ even though nobody likes him. Voters just didn’t like what the liberals were saying and their ‘transformations’ which was of course more taxes.
I think Labour can win. But they need to listen to the ‘quiet’ NZ not the woke NZ who jettison support whenever they speak.
Thinking the woke Greens, who seem to be traitors to the Green environmental movement, will do Labour’s work for them on climate change is laughable. People want climate change that will work and not the taxpayers bankrolling it like their laughable carbon contingency reserve. Keep polluting NZ!
Middle NZ are getting very sick of woke abuse, stupid policy, when things are pretty simple out there. Deport criminals ASAP. they changed the gun laws under urgency but too woke to change the laws to stop ‘S”, stop making more taxes up that ‘only’ effect a small percentage (20% in the OZ elections) and instead start making those who pay nothing in NZ and are criminals, pay up.
Get a grip and stop selling NZ visas for dodgy NZ degrees, stop cash, illegal workers who don’t know what they are doing, stop bankrolling the super rich with cash and favours while doing nothing for the middle-class workforce who apparently need to have their wages frozen for another decade of trickle down. Start getting experts in to do and implement policy that works (much in NZ doesn’t work properly and is in Dino standards like dwindling productivity the the woke in the productivity council, will never be able to solve).
Get rid of David Parker, as he should be the new leader for the Natz and lead them to failure with his Rogernomics focus which now the majority of Kiwis know doesn’t work.
The National Party is in terminal decline, and will probably not survive the next Election with most of their voters heading to ACT and the new Opposition Leader David Seymour.
ACT on 1%, not on 11%, politics can change rapidly in NZ, because there are a large amount of middle class swing voters, who seem to bear the brunt of all the transformations, that fail to transform anything good to the majority.
# should read ACT now on 11%, autocorrect malfunction!
This entire comment is riddled with falsehoods, straw man arguments, disingenous statements and just general rubbish. “Look, over there!”. “See, the left do it too!” – well mate, National did all the things you describe and more when it was in power. Labour did some of the when it was in power before that.
Labour have been crap, they need to pull finger. Woke is dangerous and annoying. Let’s take a leaf out of your book and take a look over the fence at the right – lunatic deniers, conspiracy theorists, supporters of dying neo liberalism, corporate greed and selling out, climate denial, backing fossil fuels, racists, anti immigration, incel warriors – the list is endless.
Take ownership of your tribe.
There is no tribe! Voters increasingly want a party that will do the practical, they don’t care what it is called. All NZ political parties have lost their gleam and betrayed their voters.
The National Party is in terminal decline, and will probably not survive the next Election with most of their voters heading to ACT and the new Opposition Leader David Seymour.
For those that clearly don’t understand what this story is about or deliberately obfuscate..
Insanity Is Doing the Same Thing Over and Over Again and … that is National and ACT.
They screwed most of us over for 9 years, they must be consigned to history.
While appreciating the main idea in this piece, I take issue with a number of things. I’m responding to one of them here.
In a visceral way, the idea that National might get in if the virus enters Aotearoa again. My contention is that some variant of Covid-19 will get in, pretty much inevitably, but it will not give National an opportunity to win a general election. This is firstly because the results of the public health strategy is desirable. Moreover, the means have been communicated clearly, openly, and fully every day of the critical periods we have thus far experienced. The PM, her Deputy, Min Hipkins, and health officials Dr Bloomfield and Ms McElnay have been accessible (in a way that I’ve seen no evidence of in any other country, but plenty of disdain, disregard, contempt, ignorance, bumbling, flanneling and lying to people especially in the UK, Brasil, and pre-Biden USA). That accounts for the trust we have in our Cabinet and Health officials and the continuing strategy. We see on a macro scale that good health is number one. Elections mean nothing if you’re dead.
Secondly, I’m confident that focused attention is being given to possible future scenarios and the possibilities for dealing with those to protect lives, our borders, and our health system and economy.
And kindness matters.
Agree with you Karen. The Covid crisis has been extremely well handled by the Government; it has made National look absolute fools with their “we are the only ones with the experience and expertise to run the country’.
Whilst I am not a National Party supporter I view Judith Collins as not being good enough for National.
It’s her pure arrogance, vindictiveness and appearance of taking political jealousy to a personal level because of her hatred of Jacinda. It’s almost obsessive and quite frankly childish and probably hinges closely on NPD.
Collins just doesn’t Do It for National and as she demeans herself with temper tantrums and bullying she is taking National down to her lowly level.
I do wonder what it is about bullies like Collins in that they are constantly on the search for publicity and whilst they are after the publicity they just cannot handle being criticised. So Collins actively criticises others but cannot handle the criticism herself. All the hallmarks of a lousy leader and of course manager.
Whilst National don’t have anyone as yet to replace Collins I feel if they continue on this destructive path that she has taken the now minor political party on that National may not exist to see 100 years in existence. With putting Collins as captain of the NZ National Party Titanic there is only a short time after hitting an iceberg before National descends below the waves.
But then the problem with National is they also demean themselves by wallowing in perpetual negativity. They are not doing themselves any favours with the negativity. To me I, and probably many other humans, can only put up with a certain amount of negativity before I switch off and start looking for positive things in life.
The National Party obsession with negativity has become Boring, Tiresome, Repetitive and OTT. It’s too much and whilst National and their ‘marketing experts’ may think carrying on with negativity may have a result it’s probably the result they didn’t really want.
I wish luck to National in that they over-come the toxic leadership they currently have and start working in harmony with this government instead of, and quoting Chris Bishop(the schoolyard bully and child that he is) ‘gumming up government….”
We are in a difficult time in the world. What the world is today is not something we could have expected. But its time like these that a government and those that sit opposite to the government work in unity.
