The spluttering shock and surprise from pundits and academics that NZ First has managed to sidestep the SFO investigation into fraud will have enormous political ramifications.

This failed prosecution became political because of the timing of the charges just before the election and follow other attempts to screw NZF over like the Superannuation leak and Trev’s attempt to trespass Winston from Parliament.

The curveball in the 2023 election will be Winston and NZ First, if he gets over 5%, he will be the Kingmaker/Queenmaker and Mallard’s bizarre desire to trespass an institution like Winston will sow a bitter harvest at negotiation time.

Winston could bring a genuine isolationist stance to NZ politics by reviving Muldoon’s Think Big anti-free market economic sovereignty. At a time of global financial collapse, economic nationalism will be extremely populist.

The last poll had NZF on 3%, Winston is a campaigner like no other and if NZF are 3% 18months before the next election he has a real chance of crossing the 5% threshold on Election Day.

This SFO investigation implosion was the last albatross around Winstons neck and now it has been cut from him, expect his vengeance to be blistering.

The NZ First handbrake is back.

  1. Time and time again the value of an elder statesmen like Mr Peters is dismissed by the hoons on the hill. But if I were him, I’d be more concerned about Te Puapua being surreptitiously developed unbeknown to him when he was Deputy PM, and importantly, a trained legal mind, than the boorish antics of the PM’s diplomat-in-training, Trevor Mallard, master of the hose pipes and vacuous noise.

  2. NZ First have to be low odds of getting back in, not quite a sure bet but near as.

    If Labour remain the incompetent collection of well meaning goofs it is and the hidden co-governance plans remain and reading Grant Robertson’s evasive comments this morning, they are, then NZF will get my vote and for the first time ever, the candidate vote to will not go to Labour either, nor any of its associated parties. And the thought of Labour/Green/Maori coalition is a total vote killer.

    Looking back on this government, it achieved far more with Winston there and the handbrake accusations Labour hint at were only to temper Labours more stupid whims.

  3. Hahaha, yep Ol Winnie’s of the hook again
    Won’t be surprised to see a re-invigorated NZ first 2023, maybe team up as the Blues brothers with BB Tamaki!

  4. Good news. He can ride a horse and catch a fish and has a fine head of hair to stop his brains evaporating. A fellow who frightens both the self-serving National and Labour neolibs, and has ex and future estate agents blabbing about him both when over-imbibed and sober, has to be worth a vote or two.

  5. Interview Tracey Martin on the real dealings of NZ First. She stated it was an “old boys network” much like National.

  8. Winston Peters is the past and personally I think he should step down, retire and hand the reigns of NZF over to younger more progressive politicians. Shane Jones can do the same as well. There are never any new policies to emerge from the party. The relics of Peters and Jones are handbrakes on the party, with the lingering, decaying smell of the old preventing NZF moving forward.

    Yes, Peters delivered the Gold Card when in Helen Clark’s government, but that was coming anyway to align with other nations with the same. So of course many of those of my own boomer generation, think he’s God’s gift. Fortunately I don’t fall into that category, instead preferring to see NZ move towards the future (the best way it can given present circumstances), not being held back by looking backwards into the mouldy old crypt of the past, which NZF is in its present form!

    Tracey Martin was the best thing to happen to NZF. But she’s gone now, more’s the pity.

  9. Any time I had for Winston evaporated after his treacherous appearance on Sky news Australias show Outsiders crawling to those 3 ignorant right wing fuckers who mock Mahuta’s moko, confuse weather with climate, trumpet the 501 policy, dump on our military and snigger at our accent.

    • that was the icing on the cake for me, the pork barrel politics of his last tenure was just… sad.

  10. Battle of the egos, the worlds greatest princess vs the kiwi terminator. Both would swap their grannies for a mirror.

    • Really MFP?
      Jacinda is “the worlds greatest princess”.
      I’m assuming that your misogyny is directed at Ms Ardern? Or did you mean Nicola Willis?

      Are you yet another misogynistic right-whinger party acolyte like Eggstien or Donnarumma harassing women again? https://www.stuff.co.nz/national/politics/128230199/i-am-eggstein-young-nat-jessee-mackenzie-admits-trolling-female-politicians-resigns-from-national-party
      Didn’t the judge ban you from being on a computer?

      Did Mummy hurt you as a child? Did your first and last girlfriend laugh at your uncircumcised penis.
      Did a woman compare your to a 5 day old breakfast sausage that had been left out in the sun and even the starving local pussies wouldn’t even eat it?

      Either way, what’s your real name Moon Face Pratt?
      You really need some help with your misogyny MFP, and if you reply to me and print your real name, address and mobile number and I’ll text you a list of great therapists in your area.

      You’re welcome for your new pseudonym too, no royalties needed.

        Dear Moon Faced Pratt,

        I missed “your chode”, which is easy to do, I would imagine, with the run of cold, inclement weather we’ve been having in Aotearoa.

        You are, however MFP, in a very elite group of men with a chode and that is a group of 2.28% of the male population. Well done on your elitist views and your physical peculiarity. Good luck talking to women, with all that is going on for you MFP.

  11. Who said I am not a woman? How sexist can you get? Surely I am not the only lady in here who does not give her real name for obvious reasons?

  12. So worlds greatest princess is not a compliment? I know I wish I was one? Maybe Michelle is a bit too touchy and needs help? Is it because her goddess is failing badly? Poor lady.
