That’s an understatement!

Even tribal Labour are now reluctantly walking away, because this is the worst government in NZ history.

Another MP with a conflict of interest, another MP hiding from the media and another Dairy owner attacked. The revelation that government debt was way higher than forecast, the news of half a billion dollars on expired RAT tests being stored in a warehouse, youths on roofs being handed KFC again, court waiting times stretching out to years. A nation divided against itself. All sectors of education in crisis and a health amalgamation that has achieved nothing other than waste yet more money.

BE GONE YOU FOOLS!

In reply to National are Squeaky Clean.

And you’re surprised? Of course it is reasonable to ask why the Pm would be making the statement he did, at the time he did, knowing the groundswell of support for Te Pati Maori policies among those who normally wouldn’t vote, among others, is building towards an inevitable flashpoint…
Following the current paradigm, the only difference between the two major power blocs is that the flashpoint will be reached much faster under a national led government than the current status quo would..
I can see historical parallels between Micheal Joseph Savage and john Tamihere emerging here..
Maybe not the same path to power, but historically significant nonetheless, if that’s where “fate” takes us.. First stop Deputy PM? 😉

In reply to Tiger Mountain.

So I can party vote Te Pate Maori…. Excellent news!! I’m in Chlöe Swarbricks electorate, and want to party vote TPM as a pakeha… Thanks for that..
“wtf is going on with Chipkins response?”.. I think there is a clue in the phrase “any Labour led Government he leads”… Or, “any government he leads” if one prefers…

The question was, who did Mike Hosking with his hard right wing opinions have to apologise to for his abuse of media position and was forced to pay out libel costs? John Tamahere. Seems the white felluh thought he was above the dark felluh, just like history! Lol popcorn time!

In reply to Michal. I am a 74 year old Pakeha living in a small Waikato town. I will be voting TPM. The current Labour Party government claims it cares about the impoverished. They are as convincing as a Rugby League scrum

We already have a party that will do the things that Labour is to frightened to do.

Te Pati Maori, they will launch their tax policy in the next few weeks and it will be a cracker, and if people are concerned about the poorest and disenfranchised in our society then people need to vote for Te Pati Maori.

Neither of the main parties are appealing to many many people the transformational government that did shit all. and those nasty nasty people on the real right who believe that everyone should simply be responsible for themselves and live on the streets if need be.

If Grant tried to get important tax changes through (well any), and got blocked that’s a sorry thing. And I must say sorry to Grant as I didn’t think he had the guts to try.
