Deconstructing Headlines

5 things concern me about all of this.

There are rumours circulating online that there will be a large scandal about to be released on Monday …

There are a number of electorates which are crucial in this election and could show some deep changes in the NZ political landscape.

At some stage NZers have to acknowledge that National’s much vaunted managerial skills are all smoke and mirror bullshit and that Labour’s investment of $19billion over four years into our social infrastructure is a far better response to health underfunding than 2 big mac combos worth of tax cuts each week.

Labour announcing a vast new subsidy to keep health care as cheap as possible while National rage against freedom campers.

Trump’s haphazard lunacy could trigger a market correction which would damage our economy before the election.    

Jacindamania isn’t going away because what Jacinda is projecting as a leader is real emotional connection to an empathy that voters are desperate to feel.

A new Government in NZ should adopt a very different leadership on the foreign affairs stage and symbolic gestures like bringing our SAS home and pulling out off Afghanistan to demand action for peace would be a good start. 

It just keeps getting worse doesn’t it?
