And now phools going to have to get a job.
November 9th, 2008 at 10:29 am
I see a definite trend with the National MPs that left parliament – and a different but just as definite trend for the NZF MPs!
When you look at it like this one can only call this election a landslide.
November 9th, 2008 at 10:32 am
Doug Wollerton wasnt seen on tv1 after winnie threw in the towel. such a shame. he was so confident all night haha
November 9th, 2008 at 10:40 am
is rick barker back in on the list?
November 9th, 2008 at 10:51 am
There is a god!
She squawking “pay back your GST” repeatedly (as in hundreds of times) in parliament as if to somehow to justify Labour’s rorting of the 2005 election through moral equivalence.
November 9th, 2008 at 11:03 am
It is difficult to describe the beautiful warm fuzziness I feel today.
Congrats to Key, Hide & Co.
November 9th, 2008 at 12:53 pm
Philu…where are you? You weren’t *wrong* were you????
Now that Winston is no longer protected, I hope he is forced to pay back the money he owes the taxpayers.
November 9th, 2008 at 12:58 pm
Good result. Fab to see Brian Connell “retire”. What a weak player. Look forward to meeting Amy Adams and seeing her in action.
Love to see the impotent accountant fall on his sword. His massive ego might not like it when the press stop a knockin’ at his door and broadcasting his nasty quiplets. A bad and incompetent man.
Overall a good result and lots of cleanup work for this new crowd to do….
November 9th, 2008 at 1:06 pm
Clink Clink ,Philu come out and play,clink clink
November 9th, 2008 at 1:11 pm
Just heard on National radio that Cullen, the impotent accountant has stepped down as deputy leader of the reds..keep going Mike, you tosser, keep going….
November 9th, 2008 at 1:23 pm
Its come out to playyyyyay sbk.
November 9th, 2008 at 1:30 pm
Ta Murray.
November 9th, 2008 at 1:30 pm
Of real interest now will be the ‘cat fight’ to sort out the Labour Party leadership. Helen & Cullen go but will still have some influence. Mike Williams must fall on his sword for his H-Bomb stuff up. So that leaves a room for Andrew Little [canny move staying out of this stuff-up] to step in.
The parliamentary scrap between the rainbows, unionists and middle of the road (Goff’s crew) should be interesting. It would get even more interesting if a corruption commission is put in place because it could then become a lottery as to who stays.
Maybe Phul, Sonic, Irish Bill et al could place their bets?
November 9th, 2008 at 1:50 pm
Looks like its back to law for Winnie-the-Pooh if they will have him.
November 9th, 2008 at 2:04 pm
Welcome.
November 9th, 2008 at 2:08 pm
Add Cullen to the list of retirees.
November 9th, 2008 at 2:45 pm
Bloody difficult getting around the streets today with all the singing and dancing munchkins getting in the way.
November 9th, 2008 at 2:53 pm
If Labour are smart put Andrew Little in Mt. Albert. I think we will see a Clark go before 2011. I think Little could do wonders for Labour. I think its a seat that is slowly creeping blue and its a seat that without Clark is most certainly winnable for National. If its a byeelection or even if Clark stays till 2011 its a seat National should go out all-blazing to win. Significantly its a seat with Indian and Asian voters, this election I firmly believe they shifted right. National needs to work out how to keep these voters. Mt. Albert and Mt. Roskill are seats held by long-term Labour MPs. But both seats are becoming more National and they’re seats for the future that National need to seriously consider.
November 9th, 2008 at 3:04 pm
If you want to be bothered have a read of Chris Trotter’s column in the SST. What a sore loser! Vitriol and invective, and hoary old canards. His blind faith in socialism (or is it marxism) fails to see how the socialist cause is so often hijacked by fallible humans who confuse a lust for power with worthy governance. There are so many instances in the last few years of the left feminist/lesbian agenda being forced on the population, like it or lump it. Thank goodness the radical feminist cause which emerged from the feminist conventions in the seventies has now run its course and sensibility can once again be restored. The new generation of MP’s will hopefully look ahead at a prosperous future for NZ rather than be obsessed with settling old scores.
November 9th, 2008 at 3:17 pm
Christ Trotter is hilarious!!!
“Looking at the result, you realise just how much this country and its people have changed. So much so that, last night not even our proportional system of electoral representation could rescue us from ourselves.”
HAHAHAHAHAHA
“It was these: the men who just couldn’t cope with the idea of being led by an intelligent, idealistic, free-spirited woman; the gutless, witless, passionless creatures of the barbecue-pit and the sports bar (and the feckless females who put up with them); who voted Helen Clark out of office.”
HAHAHAHAHAHA
i think he just called us rednecks lol
November 9th, 2008 at 3:26 pm
Chris Trotter has about as much credibility and could nearly be as stupid as Peter Quixote.
I wonder how many people get into the booth like me and suddenly change their minds.
There was no stopping me it was Nicky Wagner Nat for Christchurch Central and Act for party,
but just as the pen came down
I remembered Stephen franks, so it changed in an instant to the double NAT tick.
Years ago I would get into the booth with firm ideas but I couldn’t resist the McGillicuddy serious party.
I have asked other people and some say they do change their minds at the last instant.
My two girlfriends who I had to tie up because they were going to vote Labour have now been released, and they accept that politics is about power.
November 9th, 2008 at 3:28 pm
I use to like Christ Trotter. When Labour first came to power in 1999 he was one of the best political commentators in this country. You knew he sided with the left but he could offer substantial and largely unbiased views. I remember when the budget was announced in regards to “Working for Families”. His opinion of it was that Labour could have done it in other ways. He showed a real skill at that time. Overtime and I think it was when Brash took power. His opinions became more left, he lost his ability to look at both sides and really its been downhill ever since.
Another thing not really related to this topic. But what did we watch? TV3 or TV One? I watched TV 3 simply because the way TV One presented electorate results was pathetic. So what if Brownlee in Ilam was leading with 3% counted. That means nothing. We want to know the gap as it can give slight clues to where the party votes are going. Tv3 was better because it showed the top people in each electorate. That and TV 3 had the amazing Linda Clarke who really needs another political show on television. To me she is probably the best and most capable political commentator in the country.

“And now phools going to have to get a job.”
Not a chance. Whoar is a lost cause. He’ll continue sucking from the state’s teat until his death. He knows quite well he’s unemployable and without any future whatsoever. You can expect to see him receiving his welfare deposit every fortnignt, while he continues with his “cooking” activities.
Some things will never change.
November 9th, 2008 at 4:09 pm
Chris Trotter is a sad, bitter hack:
[url]http://www.stuff.co.nz/sundaystartimes/4754666a6005.html[/url]
The subtext of his puke-sodden column is the belief that Labour had a *right* to rule, and that those who denied them that are just a bunch of misogynist louts.
Labour’s politics have always been akin to a crusade, semi-mystical zealotry in it’s search for the holy grail: power.
Trotter is now part of a reactionary old guard of socialists who were indoctrinated by their university professors and their union leaders, who deminised the apostates Douglas and Prebble after the “treachery” of the 80s, and who bathed in the warm glow of Clark’s nine year reign.
It’s certainly the end of an era. Good.

November 9th, 2008 at 4:35 pm
I was thinking today… centre-right voters have had to put up with ideologically driven nanny state for the last nine years!
So, now centre-left voters are going to have to put up with less government in their lives, and more personal freedom.
Hardly seems fair does it….!?

I spent a day at a conference last week with a large group of environmentalists. Seems the 14 page Investigate Magazine article “The Reds inside the Greens” had been widely circulated, and was getting a bit of chat
So good to see Phule, with his quarter page mention played a part in the Greens demise
November 9th, 2008 at 5:08 pm
i gotta be honest phil.. doesnt feel to hollow
key is going to make a great PM.. ACT! will have enough influence to make me happy. its all good.
serious question phil – are ya gonna work or study 15 hours a week? if study – what will ya do? i am curious, im not being a prick (for once).
second question – will the 15 hours a week bug you?
November 9th, 2008 at 5:21 pm
and while we are purging mindless ZOMBIE journalists like Chris Trotter, who has proven himeself utterly valueless as a commentator or predictor,
lets get rid of this nasty little piece of garbage Steve Braunias, who adds this to the conversation
in the Sunday Star
” its a waste of time to wonder what makes Key tick. He doesn’t tick
A wander inside his brain may reveal many unemployed cells .. “:
and it goes on and on a mindless splatter of hate
it is vile invective and without any value
you are sacked Braunias goodbye, get out, your journalism is pathetic,
November 9th, 2008 at 5:43 pm
Back now in the Far North bleery eyed from a fantastic night at Sky City.
I think all of us on the ‘right’ of politics owe a huge vote of thanks to Mike Williams for the absolute outstanding job he did in getting us elected. Worth 3%+ at least to our vote.
Also noteworthy was that his much vaunted South Auckland avalanche failed to materialise so again, well done Mike.
And from Labour to Mike … the DCM. New stock on iPredict?
New Zealand already seems a happier place.

Thanks for this – Save me a lot of work – Onward – Jim
November 9th, 2008 at 7:19 pm
Philu:
I think your credibility rating is somewhere between -1 and 0.
I summarised your (pre-election) predictions here:
As I point out on that thread in more detail, you’ve conveniently overlooked those predictions in your blog posts for today. No accident, I’m sure. Let’s be specific: you think National has outflanked Act – but you can only sustain that argument by accepting that Key has embraced the Maori Party and the Greens. You can’t have it both ways.
Now Phil, you and I both know that if Labour had prevailed, you’d be busy commenting here today. Seeing as National prevailed, and all of your predictions were wrong, why can’t you be intellectually honest for a change and acknowledge this?
November 9th, 2008 at 7:38 pm
Nomestradamus, are you asking Phil to be intellectual?
for shame!!
November 9th, 2008 at 7:55 pm
Next item for speculation: who is giong to be Speaker?
A pity that Dunne turned it down. How about Roger Douglas (to keep him out of mischief)? No, he’ll want to be free to be an “ideas” man.
How about Maurice Williamson (to make him feel important, but cure his foot-shaped mouth)?
November 9th, 2008 at 8:27 pm
Just watching the TV One special.
Could they not find more left wing bloggers calling out the end of the world as we know it?

John Campbell did a nice one-on-one with John key. My (almost) 13 year old daughter was impressed and admired the fashion instincts of his daughter.
November 9th, 2008 at 8:34 pm
Even Laila Harre was optimistic about Key on the TV One special.
November 9th, 2008 at 9:24 pm

If any of you want a real laugh, go check out the “Your Views” section on NZHerald.co.nz.
Many Labour supporters are now saying they are packing up and moving to Oz. Which is a good thing imo.
Make room for some of my friends and other Kiwis who left NZ, but are seriously considering returning now that the Nats will run the next government.

I know I will probably get flanked for saying this, but it was such a nice feeling to see John Key with his wife and children on the stage supporting him during his acceptance speech. Now, let’s take another look at Helen’s stage. Not a single men apart from her father. Where are all the men in her family? Are they not supporting Labour? Or did Helen deem them not politically valuable to have on stage with her?
November 9th, 2008 at 10:22 pm
KennyJelly “Not a single men apart from her father.”
Did you not notice her “husband” aka the first flatmate there as well? He was the guy made to stand out of shot, way out on the edge like a leper. I think Helen needed a buffer of at least 5 females between her and the nearest male.
November 9th, 2008 at 10:36 pm
Tizard will not be missed! What the f*%k will she do for a crust now? Ah, who cares.

I am new to this blog. I have always read it but thought I’d join in.
Reading on here, Winston Peters – defeated in Tauranga, flys in the face of all those who wouldn’t write him off – including me.
Who ever released the photos of the helicopter needs a medal. Those photos clinched it for me. I was swaying – beleiving that maybe it was all the media and a conspiracy – you have to admit Winston can be convincing…..but the photos dont lie. (unless they were photoshopped)
The Sunday star times article recon it was the photos that did it. What power…. the originals will be worth a packet!
