We will know tomorrow afternoon who is eating dead rats at the Right Wing Last Supper, Winston, Seymour or Luxon.
If the Specials go the way of 2017 and ACT + National require NZ First to form the 51% they need to pass a budget, it looks to be a feast of dead rats for everyone.
There are great animosities over time.
Lions vs Hyenas.
Marvel vs DC.
TERFS vs Trans.
Winston vs Seymour.
David and Winston hate each other so much that direct eye contact can start an immediate homicidal rage in both of them.
I want that in a weak Luxon Cabinet, sweet Jesus let that happen.
If there is a God, Winston and David will be seated together at the Cabinet and the first murder in Parliament will occur shortly after that.
In the 2017 Cabinet the rule was that James Shaw wasn’t ever allowed to look Winston directly in the eyes, that is going to have to become a Worksafe requirement if a ACT/National/NZ First Government is created.
Cabinet is about to become as safe as the Ukrainian front.
The feast of dead rats they are all about to embark upon has so many dishes, it’s difficult to know where to begin.
Both will demand to be in Cabinet because allowing the other to sit on the Cross Benches gives them more power than if they are in the Cabinet!
Winston won’t lift the Foreign Buyers Ban and National have built their entire economic package on their Foreign Buyers Tax.
David wants his race baiting referendum and Luxon doesn’t.
Winston wants a provincial slush fund, David despises it.
David wants tax cuts, Winston has ruled them out.
National wants tax cuts, Winston has ruled them out too.
The only things they all agree on is bashing beneficiaries, paramilitary police force against gangs and a massive increase in prisons.
How inspirational.
I have felt terribly depressed at the sheer magnitude of damage these right wing lunatics intend to cause NZ, but the only thing that brightens the black cynical splinter that my heart has become is the thought of Winston, Seymour and Luxon forced to work together.
If that’s ‘winning’, losing don’t feel so bad.
Increasingly having independent opinion in a mainstream media environment which mostly echo one another has become more important than ever, so if you value having an independent voice – please donate here.

It seems schadenfreude is all that politics can deliver.
Luxon is not as spinless as Jacinda was and is used to the rough and grumble of the business World .I am sure Luxon has dealt with tougher leaders than Winston or David .Do not forget in business you are fighting with your own money so you have real skin in the game.
Of course there will be consequences but Winston has made his claim weaker by his strange twitter and Daivd is weaker than he was so their more extreme wants may not see the light of day . Both of Act and NZF know they need to be seen as sensible players otherwise in 3 short years the fickle voters will turn on them like they have on Labour.
I doubt Labour will rebuild in 3 years so National have a lot to play for in coming across as the party of the middle people
Trev – are you smoking meth?
Luxon ran fucking Air NZ – backed by the Government!
Previous to that, he sold deodorant.
He’s not messiah, he’s just a very average boy.
Put down the glass pipe bro
Trevor has become sillier by the day. Luxon ran Air NZ with his own money…insert fucking hilarious emoji here…!
Ask Air NZ, they thought he was shit.
Ardern might have been extremely disappointing on things like CGT and to a lesser extent weed legalisation, but I don’t think you could call her gutless. It would have been easier for her to ignore health advice and not go into lockdowns, especially the last Auckland one.
The biggest dead rat of all Winston PM. Matt McCarten reckons he was a very good deputy PM. If they made Winston PM they likely wouldn’t have swallow any other dead rats.
National said similar things in 2017 post election.
The worst day in government is infinitely better than the best day in opposition.
Martyn You’re a braver man than I am Gunga Din. Sweet Jesus watch over you and all who try for a better simpler NZ/AO with lasting power and practical skills and are able to form a cohesive unit with the flaky ones dropping off harmlessly. Tinkerbell the fairy will stay alive if enough people clap their hands and set to work co-operatively with goodwill and humanitarian values.
Winston is the wild card, as always.
As he’ll probably figure it will be his absolute last term he’ll either not give a toss what policy he kisses goodbye to – or he’ll just revel in the attention of not budging an inch.
The platform was the lead story on one news with the Winston interview. Hopefully they get NZ on air funding.
