It’s funny that for a country that says 16yr olds can’t vote how many all jumped up to defend a 12yr old attacking a peace protestor

Good to see Tracy Watkins a full 3 weeks behind The Daily Blog in appreciating the role NZ First plays in the 2017 election. Once she catches up on how this impacts the rest of the political spectrum, Stuff will almost start providing the same level of political analysis TDB does a month after TDB does it.

I believe a far more radical political agenda than is being offered by anyone in the current political spectrum will be required if this stars quo continues.

Let’s put the blame where it needs to go, the National Party’s short term cheapest option vision that gives not a damn about our collective environment or long term economic well being.

…National are merely shuffling budgets around and adding them on top of things they’ve already promised to make it look significant.

With this rhetoric, Winston is after National Party voters in the provinces, the challenge is how to decry Winston’s tactics without ruling out working with him after the heat and bluster of the campaign.

The truth is that the biggest challenge to our housing crisis is foreign speculators and domestic slum lords, allowing immigrants to become the focus ignores those doing the most damage and avoids the free market dynamics that are exacerbating issues in New Zealand.

Can’t you hear your dead in their graves scream in fury that their deaths have taught us nothing?

All in all a pretty squalid and vapid revamp before the election to get Nick Smith off the telly and try to woo female voters back with Kaye.
