Political Instability jumps: Can the Coalition of Crows survive 3 years after such a pissing competition birth?

Coalition talks: New Zealand’s political stability lowest since financial crisis

Long coalition negotiations from the new Government have seen a major economics consultancy downgrade its perception of New Zealand’s political stability to its lowest rating in more than a decade.

BMI, which is owned by the Fitch Group, one of the three big ratings agencies, docked a couple of points from New Zealand’s score in its Short-Term Political Risk Index (STPRI), which measures a country’s political stability.

The accompanying report said New Zealand’s score had decreased to 78.5 out of 100, down from 79.4 – the lowest score the country has received since 2010. A lower score implies greater political risk.

Luxon was supposed to be the great deal maker. The internal rage within National’s High Command at how he has mishandled the entire negotiation process has opened enormous private concerns about his ability to do the job, indeed the only reason Winston and David are 100% certain they are signing up to this is because they’ve witnessed Luxon’s incompetence first hand and know they can run rings around him and get more by exploiting him than they ever dreamed possible.

If this Government were a fable, it would be a scorpion riding on a fox’s face sitting in the open jaws of a great white shark.

It is totally on the cards for ACT to pull out of supply and confidence agreements and force a snap election the millisecond NZ First drops far enough below the 5% to eliminate Winston altogether!

Pretending these two are suddenly mates is bullshit! You all saw the looks on Winston’;s face whenever David speaks!

If you think this arranged marriage of inconvenience can last 3 years, you also believe in National’s rock solid foreign buyers tax revenue numbers and think climate change is a hoax!

The shear scale of crazy romper stomper spite masquerading as social policy by this hard right racist Government will bond them together until the public backlash at the extremism erupts and starts a civil disobedience campaign against Winston, Seymour and Luxon.

This Government has formed because the election was a grudge fuck against Labour, all that binds them is a shared glee to beat the bejesus out of beneficiaries, prisoners and gang members. This is the worst of us as a country congealed in a venal self interest that would make your average drug cartel blush.

They will be a dreadful Government for a dreadful people.

This is what we is now. This is us.

God defend NZ, because the voters sure as fuck didn’t.
