If National were in power Mike, we would be in the same position as England and the states.

In reply to bert. 'Bridges, Seymour and Hooten' sounds like a firm of dodgy lawyers.

Ardern is so well respected globally, a position for her is assured.
Now could you say that about Bridges, Seymour or Hooten globally for that matter?

The article was great. Great to see Hooton’s bubble burst. Loved the word ‘specious’ at the end. This article should be studied in schools by senior English students as a deconstruction of rhetoric, a revelation that the emperor of columns has no clothes.

But with the prostitute Media giving him oxygen, his support rises. The only probable good news is it’ll be at the expanse of (Chinese spy)National party,.
And if the voters of Epsom EVER wake up, and don’t vote for him, or Lab/Greens THINK for just one second and vote for Goldsmith (the crooked pillock) then ACT are ‘gone burger’ and their votes are wasted and Labour could have a MASSIVE majority.

Hooton says, “But make no mistake; the government has now crossed the line from using its lockdown powers to maintain public health to cynically promoting its electoral interests.”

Sort of like “But make no mistake Matthew Hooton, has continued down the line of making facile subjective comments to cynically promote his political electoral interests.

I would have it that everything a government does promotes it’s electoral interests. How do you define and identify the line, the moment, the decision to do something to promote its electoral interests deliberately and cynically? From the tiniest degree to being totally for those reasons? You don’t. You just say it and it becomes fact.
