I still have problems with her partner being her 1st cousin (Flashbacks to Homo Erectus...). But you have to say one thing about Labour - they go for diversity!

I hate to start a sentence with "I mean..." but... I mean... do you guys experience much difference elsewhere?
At least in my work life I've found positions are about as likely to be filled by someone adequately competent as not. Senior positions filled by a mix of the competent, and those who have successfully exploited our power structures often through completely arbitrary means.

Lucky to be working with a bunch of extremely competent people in their various areas - only becomes not as good when they step out of their zones but seem to be smart enough to recognize that.
The joys of working in a small agile business. Well.. always possible that I'm the incompetent... All that aside yes I have seen what you're talking about.

While David Clark endears himself less and less, I'm not sure the claim Bloomfield was the de facto Minister of Health has sound basis.
I certainly was grateful to hear from a working expert rather than a politician. Much preferable to a politician trying to keep their position, which is the job we charge politicians with. It'd be great if our politicians could be more like Bloomfield, but we don't vote that way.

Much has been said (well, in the Herald) about Jacinda doing her Facebook live video from Premier house, and their being a chalkboard with scribbles, and the re-use of the cabinet chairs. No-one mentioned the most Aunty Cindy thing ever - clothes drying rack in the living room!

You know, I have no clue who Kelvin Davis is. I thought Robertson was Deputy Leader of Labour.

Is he the guy that gets shit down while the PM puts on a good show?
D'oh, that's sexism too.

Yeah, hes probably the least publicised Deputy Leader.
Because you have Peters as Deputy PM, then Robertson as Finance (which is usually more public that the DL. But in saying that, who was the Deputy Leader of National in the JK administration. Was it actually English? I thought it was, again he was Finance. |

He was DPM but also MoF. Finance was just his portfolio. Key had Tourism while being PM.

It's just jealousy. Dude's off around the world attending high power conferences, having hot hotel sex, we're all hurrumph!
Don't worry, we'll have robot overlords soon enough, with their absence of genitals.

Just glad it hasn't gone to NZF... though that being said, can't trust polls - too often don't reflect actual result.

Well, Winston behaving that way will only seal his own political doom, in the current climate.

Nope. Winston's voter base is people who hate the government. To appeal to those people Winston has to slam the government. The fact that he is PART of the government is not relevant. If he could do a press release calling Jacinda an ineffectual little girl out of her depth, he would.

basically they have to start showing how they are different to labour and the Greens.
So there is going to be a lot more of this happening. Winston will just be trying to get in one last time and then retire. I do hope that NZF go, or maybe even better, they get in, but Labour doesnt need them and they go with the Greens. Or even better would be Labour goes with the Greens, but brings in NZF as well, and every time something comes up that Winston would usually do his typical "No" at the last minute, they can turn around and give him the big middle finger. |

What was that line from Dune - "he who can destroy a thing, controls the thing"? Winston has proved that in this government's term. He can end the government by leaving the coalition. Therefore he controls the government. This has been proven time and time again.

Winston is everything that is wrong with MMP.

I dunno, most of Winston's base are people over 65, aren't they? The ones who are the most vulnerable to the 'rona? They might generally not like the government, but I bet they love the way the government has succeeded in keeping the 'rona out. Not sure that's something Winnie can take credit for.

Two separate issues:
Winston is a vampire who will do whatever benefits him personally the most, including destroying a government MMP is flawed and one of its side-effects is that minor parties tend to get wiped out |
29th July 2020, 14:38 | #999 |
|
As opposed to say, FPP, in which minor parties never have an opportunity to influence policy ever.
