Sadly one could say that the CoA have a plan which is what the Labour Party did not have for two successive elections. Their failure to plan is going to hit them and the country hard.
They did have a plan, one they kept very secret and pretended it was never policy!
Labour above 25% = rogue poll.
Yes I agree, they should be 40%
Blah. 2 Ticks NZ First this election.
Looks like NZF will hold the Balance of Power again this Election, Seymour Butt will lose traction over the coming 10 days and will likely lose his rag, and Winston will gain some momentum so long as he retains his Mojo. NZF always poll 2-3% higher on Election Day so could be 8-9% come Election Day, friends of mine who have previously been Winston haters have changed their tune recently.
If your friends are not Winstone haters now does that mean they a Maori haters. It seems a lot of people have changed their tune including Winstone who has a bunch of nutters in his party.
I reckon if NatCCP and the coalition of fellow nasties create a whole new tear of homeless, they should all band together and go and set up a tent city in a public place like they do in other poor backward countries. Somewhere like, ummm… well, how about Remuera Golf Course. Plenty of room there.
NZF required as a Handbrake on the Right and the Left.
I’ve always found that quite nonsensical, NZ First are more of a potato in the exhaust, or water in the engine oil. They always pursue trivial or downright undemocratic crap, such as the Waka jumping legislation, inefficient ‘picking winners’ funds (a continuance of the silly self aggrandizing roles Jim Anderton had during Helengrad days), and generally just want to hark back to Muldoonist strongman posturing.
Ngungukai Yes.
100% Inevitable, Seymour must be steaming!
Seymour Butt will be steaming and will likely lose his rag over the next 10 days.
Im sure Winston and David will find common ground. Seeing as their first objective is screwing the workers of this country, it will not be hard.
And everyone assumes NZF will go with National. Don’t be fooled again. He’ll do whatever he wants depending on the baubles offered.
But, but… No, Winston always says words matter and he’s only ruled out the current Labour Government – after the election it’ll be new Labour MPs so all bets off. And Chippie has said Labour has ruled out Winston, but again, after the election it’ll be a Lab/Gr/TPM coalition and they’ll entertain talking to NZF.
Of course Winston doesn’t mind as long as he gets 5% and Labour aren’t going to suggest anything else as it’s their only chance of staying in power. National seem to be incapable of campaigning properly which is leaving the door open.
A vote for NACT is a vote for pay freezes, sweatshop working conditions, elimation of breaks, US style health care, dirtier air and water, suspension of due process and civil liberties, cops being allowed to carry out summary executions, mass evictions from state houses, higher rents, less generous ACC, pensioners getting less, the outlawing of trade unions, schools being allowed to teach creationism and kick out LGBT students.
Labour have wasted 6 years of having an opportunity to show how a social leaning party can be successful. While coping with adversity .Few can say they are better off or safer than they were 6 years ago.
National policies you quote about work, tenants ,and gangs make them a good choice in my book.Having to cope with Winston will muddy the waters but it is what it is and shows MMP working to give the largest group of people a say
So you think tenants should be kicked out at a moments notice for anything?” And that gang members should be ecxecuted without trial?
Goldman Sachs warns Luxons tax cuts will squeeze the middle with high inflation and high interest rates for longer.
Adrian Orr recommended increased taxation on the wealthy to curb inflation, mop up the covid liquidity and lower interest rates and now Goldman Sachs agrees.
Why dont the Chris’s understand?

Under Labour, workers have had the biggest pay rises everythere. They have had the best protections on the western world, more leave, more breaks, everything. Everyone who has wanted a job, has got one. Employers have been FORCED to hire more New Zealanders and FORCED them to pay them a decent wage. Unlike National, who would have bosses to coin it up while their workers got nothing. Workers never got a share of the ‘rock star economy’, despite record economic growth, no one got a payrise, infact, companies lile AFFCO tried to CUT wages.
NATIONAL AND ACT WILL CUT WAGES.
Of course that poll is not what the Labour and National internal polling is telling them.
TV3 6pm News tonight reports that National is falling in the polls and they are starting to freak out and hit the panic button.
Hence the completely unhinged press conference held by National Party bovver boy Chris Bishop yesterday.
His teeth gritting spitting white lipped shouty lunatic ranting was a joy to watch….clearly the pressure has got to him…all that money down the tubes …how sad …how appropriate!
The buck stops here.
From Wikipedia
“The buck stops here” is a phrase that was popularized by U.S. President Harry S. Truman, who kept a sign with that phrase on his desk in the Oval Office.
I will truly be gob smacked If Chris Hipkins doesn’t resign on election night.

Mr “dirty politics” himself pulling the Luxon strings.
Max Rushbrooke ends his article (in the Spinoff today) titled ‘Feeling confused by this election?’ with this last para summation which pretty much answers his question:
So we’re back at nothing making sense right now. Maybe it will in future, though.
Maybe. Except that if – as seems likely – National does win, Luxon will probably benefit from an upturn in sentiment based on things he did nothing to deserve. The construction pipeline for state houses is already in the thousands, carbon emissions will likely continue their slight falls of recent years, and the economy is – barring a major world meltdown – set to recover in coming months. All of which are achievements Luxon would happily claim. Fair? Not really. But that’s politics. Don’t you love it?
