Thats really not my best side
little:..’yes..a little-led labour government will continue to do what helen clark did..we will also divide the poor into the ‘deserving’ and ‘undeserving’..
..and like her we will ‘help’ the ‘deserving’-families..
..and like her will do absolutely nothing for those ‘undeserving’-families..
..it’s become a labour party tradition..to divide the poorest into the ‘deserving’ and the ‘undeserving’..and to leave the ‘undeserving’ to rot..
.and of course..like helen clark..we will run media-campaigns against the ‘undeserving’ ones..to make sure everyone hates them..
..it worked for helen..’
“Caucus makes Labour Party policy, not the rank and file. That’s because Caucus has more to lose if we get it wrong…”
“I can give you a categorical ‘maybe’ on that issue…”
“Our intention is to defeat National without support from loopy left-wing parties. We expect win by a landslide in 2019…”
“It’s far too close to the election for me to answer that question…”
“By our 4th term we will definitely address the issue of low wages…”
“I will answer that as soon as Caucus tells me what to say…”
little:..’i don’t wanna hear any talk about sanders/corbyn ‘revolutions’…it’s different down here’..
(n.b. the dismissal/dismissive ‘it’s different down here’ is an actual quote from little..his answer when asked about the challenges to the established-elites sanders/corbyn represented..and what effects this would have on the labour party/him down here in nz..)
one thing for sure is that he/little will be asked that question again..and that he won’t be able to again get away with flippant/dismissive/neoliberal-paradigm-defending bullshit like that..as an answer..
‘cos no matter how you slice it…pretty much all of sanders details in his revolution-program ..inequality..banks..rich getting richer..most certainly is new zealand after three decades of neoliberal-crap..
..in so much it is no ‘different’ down here..
..and for andrew little..this ain’t gonna go away..
..and this is a good thing..
little:..’i am a little bit opposed to a lot of things..but don’t think we should do that much about any of them’
little:..’in the pantheon of labour leaders..i am the zika-virus effected head sitting on the broad shoulders of those who came before me..eh..?’
little:..’my advice to bernie sanders would be the same as i gave to jeremy corbyn when i met him in britain……that if he wants to be taken seriously..like me..he should start wearing suits’..
(n.b…the corbyn directed ‘wear a suit’ admonition is an actual quote from little..made after he met corbyn in britain..)
I think that was just a joke from Little. He has a dry sense of humor.
does that ‘dry sense of humour’ also explain his multi-directional responses to the tpp..?
..is he just like key..?..just having a laff..?
is his green tie also a manifestation of his ‘dry sense of humour’..?
It is possible that he has some green underwear too.
No, I think under the circumstances, he has taken a pragmatic and sensible stand rather than throw the baby with the bath water without careful consideration. The deal has been signed anyway and the next government, whoever it is, will be stuck with it. Little and Labour will try to renegotiate some crucial aspects (sovereignty etc) of the deal. I am sure many other countries in the deal will want to do that too. Time to withdraw from the deal will be if the necessary desirable crucial changes to the deal can not be renegotiated and met. That option is always there. Voters at an election have the final say anyway,
little:..’as always..i oppose it…but i won’t do anything about it’..
little:..’this is a corbyn/sanders-brand jacket i am wearing…it doesn’t seem to fit very well’..
M name is Andrew Little with a little squeaky response to TTPA.
“Here is the truth: John Key is lying, fooling, smiling and screwing New Zealand and many good people do not even realise that. None so deaf as those that will not hear. None so blind as those that will not see.”
I hear what you say, but I do not understand what you mean, Prime Minister.
