BREAKING: Todd Barclay steps down from Parliament at next election
…now he’s gone, what about Bill English? Surely as Prime Minister, Bill’s deception was actually worse than Barclay’s.

To have the most powerful spy agency in the country pimping their spying services directly to Minister’s under the guise of ‘economic benefit’ and then have no paper trail explaining what the hell happened is utterly unacceptable, yet this story has been eclipsed by a backbencher taping a staff member!
Three quick questions over the Barclay/English affair.
There’s just something about living in a small, insular ‘everybody-knows-everybody’ kinda place that makes attempts at pulling off a genuine “cover-up” something of a fool’s errand.
Todd Barclay, apparently, is that fool.
This is becoming more damaging than all the far more serious abuses of power because English is mishandling the issue with indecision. When Key got into trouble, he would go stone cold and flatly deny everything. Bill English on the other hand has looked like a possum in the headlights and that along with the hyperventilation tone from the media is what your average voter is picking up on.
National are a dirty politics political party who will lie, manipulate and twist every possible rule to get the power they want.
Green Party have released their new Refugee Policy which is aspirational and righteous but utterly unrealistic.
There’s a point to be made on this whole ‘Anti-Smacking’/s59 debate which New Zealand First has brought back to the limelight, that I don’t think I’ve seen anyone else making.
Those beggars you see on the street in larger and larger numbers? They are the failures of the system you are profiting from. You must be forced to see them.
…The National Party have nurtured and grown the speculative property bubble with open floodgate immigration and fake foreign student education because it creates a false illusion of middle class wealth that keeps them voting National.
