Too close to call on Clark vs Key. That is not good enough for Helen Clark really, she needs to be dominant and so does Cullen. Neither is the case. But the complicated arithmetic of MMP means it is still game on for Labour and they know it.

English will never be Finance minister, key will see to that.
Why would he have his main rival share the spolight.

^^ deluded Selma, Bill English has stated he’ll never be leader again.
In John’s hugely impressive budget speech he proudly stated ‘he knows who’ll be delivering the budget in 2009 & that’s Bill English’.

……& on the Clark vs. Key.
Clark is still very impressive @ not answering questions & making stupid comparisons.
But is that appealing. Hell no! When it comes to appeal Clark’s caustic, mocking style meant that even on Dr Brash’s worst day she couldn’t trump him. When it comes to John, who can match her on the floor, she doesn’t have a chance!

Look everyone – Selma’s back! Does she think that the populus has already forgotten about Labour’s serial bullshitter, DB-P? Does she think we’re stupid? Will she ever do anything except push rumours about Key and English, or blame National for thinks that Labour has had responsibility for eight years?

The list of misdemeanors of this government is too long to repeat and the best they can do is Clark vs Key is too close too call – really only one of them is in contention for the worst prime minister in NZ history!
Selma back off on the gin, eh – its still early.

Selam
“Ive well and truely rained on that little parade of the DBP gloaters a few posts back.”
Next time I’m caught speeding I’ll say one of two things;
a) I’ve speed before and was not caught so it’s not fair to punish me for it now.
OR
b) Other people speed so my speeding is nothing to worry about.
You are quite something Selma, proclaiming the integrity of the Labour party because National also have a few dirty smudges to their credibility.
Look Selma it’s really simple. A person who murders somebody is not released without conviction because they are not the first person to be caught for murder. They are still a murderer and should be judged for that – not how they compare to other murderers….
With brains like yours I’m not at all surprised you are a Labour supporter.

I love asking officials from Benson-Pope’s department as why do they expect higher standards of honesty from their clients that what is being shown by their Minister.
