As you were saying:

National's call for Aotearoa referendum 'absurd' and 'ridiculous'

^Trying to get back some of the racist vote from Act.

Their Maori Mps must be hiding in their offices in shame.

Yeah, when David Seymour sounds sane in comparison to you, you've got a problem.

Judith Collins dubs Dr Ashley Bloomfield a 'one-trick pony' who's 'good at standing up and talking about COVID'

Good luck with that Judith Collins.

Ab · 9th August 2021, 16:12

What can she be trying to achieve?

fixed_truth · 9th August 2021, 19:23

I don't know what she's up to but it's seriously damaging the National party brand.

Ab · 9th August 2021, 20:12

Next up, Judith attacks the All Blacks for talking about their mental health

Does the NZ government have an actual Opposition right now?

xor · 11th August 2021, 20:41

Heritage media must be pretty desperate for clicks.

Apparently it's David Seymour.

The Edge · 5th September 2021, 11:11

I've heard a rumour that Judith may be about to be rolled. Not confirmed though.

crocos · 5th September 2021, 14:18

I hope not. National seems incompetent enough that I'd quite like to leave them with their current incompetent leader.

Just don't spread rumours. They are just misinformation.

Doesn't matter, an update came out after I posted that anyway.

Collins was no less awful when she was the one telling people what to do.

Ab · 12th September 2021, 13:02

Is she just desperate for media attention, any attention she can get? I just can’t think of a world in which what she’s doing is sensible at all.

Lightspeed · 12th September 2021, 15:27

She's been hanging out with Slater, they're "good friends".

Ab · 12th September 2021, 16:04

But that dude has been radioactive for YEARS now. Normal members of society won't come near him, let alone political figures. Who the fuck is advising Collins?

Problem is, I don't think she's talking about things that matter to Kiwis. Cameron Slater's opinions? Who cares what he thinks?

crocos · 15th September 2021, 11:06

I'm actually willing to believe her on the "Big fat hypocrite" not being fat-shaming, but a variant of the colloquial "big fat liar".

Pretty much everything else? Well... smoke without fire? Yeah, nah.

How would Judith get booted out then? Caucus decision after losing the next election?

fixed_truth · 22nd September 2021, 12:13

Back to Bridges? Luxon? I'm hoping Bill English was the last conservative christian we see as prime minister.

Ab · 22nd September 2021, 12:44

I thought Bill English was, on the whole, a good Prime Minister. He was just fucking boring, and boring doesn't win elections.

Simon Bridges seems to be enjoying being not the opposition leader. Would he want to come back?

crocos · 22nd September 2021, 16:48

Collins or YakMan: Either way would ensure an ineffective opposition, which is not actually good for NZ.

Lightspeed · 22nd September 2021, 16:50

I'm trying to remember, what was John Key's rise to the position like? I thought he kind of swooped in at an opportune moment, after a bunch of floundering career politicians kept the seat warm.
