Yes, of course, that must be it.

It just seems like your post only makes sense if you were responding to something I posted, me being the only one raising the untrustworthiness of the government as an issue.
But plenty is lost in translation when it comes to text only discussion, so it must be that.

It's pretty funny that. Plenty of evidence of wrong doing, just none pointing at those who most benefit from it. "Honourable" indeed.

All politicians are scum sucking, bottom feeding shit lords. There has never been an honourable one. Ever.

But you have to vote carefully, otherwise the wrong scum sucking bottom feeding shit lords might get in.

That's right! If you're not careful you'll vote in some greedy buggers who will give away your hard earned money to the lazy and shiftless! /s

Even I can't cognitively-dissonantify some sort of positive angle on this bollocks, this whole Key-Ede-Whaleoil thing stinks to high heaven.

Re: Lightspeed
Does it though? The media love this shit and hyperbole is the first station the bus stops at. Seen this show too many times to buy into any of it until something ACTUALLY HAPPENS.

JK's casual relationship with Slater is real enough. "Lay with dogs, get fleas", all that business. There may be no direct, easily identifiable consequences, but surely this will undermine National's ability to be effective at whatever bastardy they have in mind. At least a little.

I have no direct evidence that there is a relationship, other than media speculation and he said she said. Some actual FACTS would be useful but they seem to be slow in presenting themselves.

I think it's pretty obvious that Whaleoil was utilised as a communications backchannel by many entities, including the National Party. Now that it's getting embarrassing for National I expect there's a lot of metaphorical document-shredding and disavowing-of-any-knowledge going on at the National end, and Whaleoil being the mentally-unstable grudge-holder that he so obviously is I imagine that he is going to go bunny-boiler on National now.

I think there are people higher up on his grudge list than National right now.

Having read the whole 80 page report, it certainly seems to me that Key and the Tucker both could have done more to avoid this mess.

It's fucking embarrassing that our prime minister is txting with a scumbag such as Cameron Slater. What a joke John Key is... "Oh I can't remember when I txted him, oh wait it was yesterday, oops".

I have absolutely no love for Labour or the Greens but recent events have confirmed to me 100% that I was right in abstaining during the recent elections. For as long as John Key and Judith Collins are around, I won't be voting for National under any circumstances.
Given that I can't ever see myself voting for anyone other than National or maybe Labour (have never yet voted Labour but won't dismiss that as a future possibility), it probably means I won't be voting in the next elections either. I don't expect politicians to be squeaky clean but this is well past any reasonable depths of deplorability that I can be expected to endure. |

Unless you're a climate change denier, and/or just plain don't give a shit about the environment, I can't see why you, or anyone for that matter, would prefer National over the Green party.

And, bear in mind that you likely come out pretty okay (or superbly okay) irrespective of which part is in power. The social contract here in my view is to think about and respond to the outcomes that those less fortunate face. Last edited by Golden Teapot : 29th November 2014 at 11:25. |

To be honest, nothing in that boiling down process really differs from not giving a shit about the environment/climate change. Dare I say it, I doubt you have any sense of distributive justice whatsoever. Last edited by Nothing : 29th November 2014 at 22:00. |

"Green party can do whatever stupid shit they want because climate change. Next to climate change, everything else is petty!"
That's all I'm hearing. All this social engineering shit of theirs. Climate change. Printing money - climate change. Don't smack your kids bum, climate change. In the end, anything the Greens do is justified because nothing they do could be as bad as an EXTINCTION LEVEL EVENT! GIVE ME BACK MY FLAG! EXTINCTION LEVEL EVENT!

The greens can and will do nothing about climate change. Face it.
