Jacinda just called David Seymour an ‘arrogant prick’ and I’m all here for it!
Never hasn’t a truer word been spoken in Parliament!
Comrades, the political story of 2022 in the last days of the political year…
‘Such an arrogant prick’ – PM Jacinda Ardern lashes out at Act leader David Seymour
Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern has called Act Party leader David Seymour an “arrogant prick” as she took her seat in Parliament this afternoon, following questions in the House of Representatives.
…to be fair this isn’t right!
He’s more a smug prick than arrogant prick!
Sold as a ‘hot mic’ moment, Jacinda gets a pot shot in as Parliament closes that changes her brand from kindness just when she needs to show the electorate she isn’t being pushed around.
It’s like that West Wing Episode where the President pretends to have a ‘hot mic’ moment to slag off a political rival while pretending not to.
I love it.

Well at least she got that right IMO.
She just won my vote.
Yes x 2
The only error the PM made was issuing an apology!
The horrific personal comments made by ACT supporters on social media the last several years, involving misogyny and violent threats, have been truly appalling. No wonder she gave Mr Seymour a serve.
It’s pretty mild compared to what I’ve heard the Prime Minister called lately.
Kind and Real!
Seymour can’t be an arrogant prick and a useless Maori as described by Willy Jackson, all at the same time.
Labour need to make up mind.
So Seymour can’t be an arrogant, useless Maori prick? Your argument is pretty fucking stupid.
Hate speech ! Hate Speech ! Come in, Paul !
Smarmy prick, rather than smug, or arrogant.
Seymour, New Zealand’s ‘Twerking Doctor death’, lost my vote when he championed the right for poor people to not be a burden on the Epsom society-types.
The ultimate neoliberal solution to the poor being a drain on the health system.
Arrogant, smug, smarmy prick!
Yes, the ” thou shalt not build state houses in Epsom” sums up the smug arrogant prick!
So when in the chamber Seymour talks of helping New Zealanders, he just means Epsom and the uber rich.
Swearing is the language of honesty..
I think this shows Jacinda is stressed and over it (at least for the year). And maybe she is feeling a bit of ‘after all I have done for the people of NZ………
Labour seem to have no idea why they have become so popular.
I don’t think David S is an arrogant prick. I think he is super smart.
If you think he’s super smart you need to go back to school.
His former girlfriend couldn’t stand him, probably thought he was an arrogant prick also.
I know it’s hard Anker but the truth hurts. Defense of the arrogant David Seymour is always amusing.
As long as we dont have to hear from her any more about misogyny in parliament.
And I agree he is much more smug than arrogant. Arrogant better describes Ardern herself.
Fantail. “ Arrogant better describes Jacinda herself” 100%. But do remember that her government is the sole source of “ truth”, and somewhere, somewhere out there there’s a reason for diplomatting hooligan Trevor and abolishing the Commissioner for Children and ours is not to reason why.
Politicians should never be criticised for telling the truth.
She’s quite clever to let that one “slip”. It’s now much more widely known that Rimmer is indeed an arrogant prick (though Red Dwarf fans have always known this). He’ll no doubt gain even more arrogant prick male voters, though he’ll lose some of the women, who will go back to labour. We do love a mostly venerable female leader who shows her humanity from time to time and calls it like it is, after all. Well done Ardern.
