How many Labour Party Staffers does it take to change a lightbulb?
50.
One to change it, 49 to sit around doing nothing while complaining about how the Wellington CBD is dead.
I ask you comrades, how incompetent is the Labour Party?
Once upon a time the Internal Talbot Polling would be leaked to the blogs, and once on the blogs, the other media would pick it up.
Now, the lazy incompetent Labour Party staffers don’t leak to the blogs and instead leak it to one news organisation meaning the others won’t touch the leak and it disappears beneath the surface.
This matters because now Stuff are too cheap to do polls for their 6pm news thing, the only regular polling is TVNZ, Taxpayers Union and Roy Morgan.
The latest Taxpayer’s Union Poll had Labour at a disastrous:
National – 39%
Labour – 25.9%
Greens – 11%
ACT – 8.8%
NZF – 6.8%
Te Pati Māori – 5%
Instead of leaking to the blogs to ensure mainstream media picked it up, the lazy incompetent Labour Staffers leaked to Jamie Ensor and the story disappeared into the ‘who gives a fuck’ file on the NZ Herald.
Honestly lazy incompetent Labour Staffers, Jamie nobody Ensor?
Really?
It’s a shocker on the rocker because the internal Talbot Poll tells a totally different story than the Taxpayers Union Poll but you wouldn’t know because lazy incompetent Labour Staffers gave the leak to a noddy that nobody cares about at the Herald and the rest of the media don’t touch it.
I ask again, how fucking incompetent are the lazy Labour Party staffers?
Sack them all and leave them for Neale Jones and the chinless wonder from down under, Davey Cormack to hire.
Oh, what did the Talbot Poll say you beg?
National – 37%
Labour – 32%
Greens – 10%
ACT – 8%
NZF – 6.1%
Te Pati Māori – 3.9%
Totally different result right but no one knows it thanks to lazy incompetent Labour Staffers.
Let’s see the Labour Party staffers do all again next month and make the exact same mistakes.
How do these Staffers keep their jobs while so many in the public service face cut backs and the sack?
Still can’t get Chippy on The Working Group either.
PS – Huge news tomorrow about The Working Group – where politics comes alive.
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.
Martyn – Worse is to come from Labour, they hired the toxic Shaneel Lal of the Albert Park disgrace…why?
You just hate Lal because they don’t stick to what the Bible says about gender. That is all that it is. You would happily impose the Bible at gunpoint, just like Trump.
Mr Lal can wear as many frocks as he wants…he is still toxic
millsy – Huh?
Millsy is insane
Why anyone would take any notice of that crooked bunch of misfits, The Taxpayers’ Union, anyway…It is beyond me that the mainstream media would give them any credence.
They should be could ‘The Union of the Dweebs’. What a bunch of mealy mouthed wankers.
Everyone should watch Mihingarangi Forbes’s recent demolition job on the obsequious Jordon Williams on ‘Mata Reports’ a few days go…. What a slimy, slithering, lying little greaseball he is…. And yet the media are reporting his reckons as if it’s the truth!!
He was no match for Mihingarangi who dismantled him with consummate ease. She is one of the few shining lights left in N.Z journalism.
Labour have to fight their corner at every turn, because National, ACT and N.Z.First have no qualms about lying their fucking heads off at every turn and some of the media are only too happy to report and enhance the lies.
If their are some personnel in the Labour machinery that are asleep at the wheel, then they need to get out and be replaced by people who absolutely driven to use every opportunity to get rid of this hideous outfit we have in power at the moment…This poor excuse for a government cannot be allowed to continue…no excuses!!
Exactly, spot on Grant, couldn’t have said it better myself. If NZ is to survive massive civil turmoil this coalition of chaos must be terminated.
Strong leaders replaced by a weak Labour Party a bunch of racist cow boys and girls and a crowd of disjointed rabble.rousers fighting among themselves. Great choice for this country.
Yes Labour are weak under Chippy. Compared to the Coalition of Chaos most racist and divisive and corrupt policies in history. This has created redneck right wing rabble the likes Trump would be proud of.
100% nailed it Grant
No, care our being, Labour, with others, shall always care our age care, Aotearoa, thought fight, AOTEAROA, not quite got it, Aotearoa, but Labour care, still Aotearoa.
Snark, I foresee a long career in the Labour caucus ahead of you.
I just can’t fathom that the Green’s ever poll in double digits. It’s bewildering, since their policy would see everyone going broke and hungry.
Supporting the Greens is an act of faith, so impervious to rational explanation.
What, because they put the environment ahead of $$$?
Ada would do anything for a $ and I mean anything to support the redneck right.
So how does National poll so highly when they’re sending our best and brightest overseas?
Probably because those polled and voting National are fucking clueless.

It is obvious you have not read their full policy document.
Because no one would be going broke and hungry under the greens.
correct but the top 10% control the narrative so people like nitrium would not realize that the greens are not obsessed with endless wealth for the few but a good life for all .
Like all communists.
” I just can’t fathom that the Green’s ever poll in double digits. It’s bewildering, since their policy would see everyone going broke and hungry. ”
What an inane comment !
You mean broke and hungry under every political party to exercise power in this country except the Greens.
I can fathom why you and all the other degenerates vote for ACT , LINO or National.
To ensure people are paid shit , live in their cars , go hungry and carry the wealthy and privileged on their backs and pay no tax !
As I keep writing because, ya know, awesome! There-is-no-Labour-Party. The dear old Labour Party that we once knew it as being was killed off by roger douglas 40 years ago. He hid within old Labour as a finance minister like the intestinal parasite he is just waiting to be shat out to flourish. For two terms for fuck’s sake. I can’t believe that people are still bewildered by that fundamental fact.
Labour, doesn’t exist. At all. What you see in chippy is a host drone doing the bidding of the rich to make sure any inquiry ends up in disarray otherwise Chip would be writing this just before he was arrested for punching luxon out.
As a result of the above we’re a hairs breadth away from losing the sovereignty of our AO/NZ to big monied foreign ownership. Luxon’s got seven rentals so I read so he’d sell us out in a heart beat to Martians if he thought they could keep him in scalp polish.
A word of advice to young people.
Buy property in Western Southland close to those huge fresh water reserves aka lakes.
* Lake Hauroko, for example is, I believe, the fifteenth deepest lake in the world and is about as clean as they come these days. AND, you get drive-to access.
* Lake Hauroko is 462 metres (1,516 ft) deep; sources range from calling it the 16th deepest lake in the world[1] to the 23rd deepest.[5] The S-shaped lake is 20 miles (32 km) long[6] and has a surface area of 25 square miles (65 km2).[6] The lake surface is about 155 metres (509 ft) above sea level.
I’m fucked if I’d a told you that if I was 50 years younger. A word of warning. Be very careful small- boating on that lovely little lake. It regards drowning humans as a blood sport. If the sandflies are biting stay the fuck off it and show respect for Maori lore.
” Tikanga, or societal lore within Māori culture, can best be described as behavioural guidelines for living and interacting with others. Tikanga tends to be based on experience and learning that has been handed down through generations, also deeply rooted in logic and common sense.”

Luxon would be saying its not about the fricken numbers its about bashing the have nots to get their last cent into my wallet
Chippy needs to chip off Labour. For Gods Sake get rid of him. He is worse than useless and so it seems are the rest of them. Yawn, twiddle twiddle faddle.
And yet you want to vote these useless, incompetent creatures into power.
Labour as a political organisation in New Zealand are now redundant.
Similar comment years ago in the UK, look who is now the government.
Well what else are they going to be if not a political organization. I thought you to be truly retarded, now you have confirmed it!!!
Bomber, today, meaning today Sep 24, in the hoos, is without doubt, the Nats, looking low and down, tossing out the same old same old P.M DIRGE,of past government spending, yet sitting down looking shaken, as his past fervour and bull, comes inflated as a sour cows bladder. Never seen the lot of them, even with maggie clone belligerence not lifting them, as their trope (lies and market value) sucks them down to the beginning of their end.
