I assume that by “My money is on Catherine Delahunty” you mean quite the opposite?

Yep, Turei has said some pretty crazy things in her short political career.

My money is on Catherine Delahunty. Oh please make her co-leader. The opposition choir is looking a little bare.

Isn’t Metiria Turei the MP who believes Maori have more in common with Islamic immigrants than pakeha New Zealanders?

Please be Sue Bradford. She will have a no prisons policy. 5mins of time out for murder!

Where’s that Nandos man

personally I think he’s been disillusioned.

Think he’s salvagable. But the q is for who?

>>Why is Sue Kedgely not standing?

Yeah, from the Greenies point of view that would make most sense and I am sure they know it.
Which like most here I hope to hell they don’t do then.

“…and she is not from the environmental wing of the party.”

I would like to nominate that sentence for Understatement of the Year.

Why is Sue Kedgely not standing? She is much more presentable and acceptable than Sue Bradford.

Take deep breaths D4J, it helps calm you down.

You might want to be a bit careful dishing out all these threats, one day somebody less peace loving than I might take you up on it.

Turei was an anarchist? I thought she used to be a corporate lawyer. Aren’t the two pretty much diametrically opposed? Or do anarchists realise they need a well paying corporate job in order to afford plasma televisions and 4WDs?

Jeanette Fitzsimons is one of the most dangerous Greens in NZ.

She is pleasant, calm, articulate, presentable, knowledgable, charming, slim, respected.

I despise the greens but not her. You would have to be soulless….. or D4J.

In other words she is one of the greatest PR jobs in parliament rivalling even Rodney Hide.

The Greens will never be able to replace her.

Sadly and with ironic angst, we can rejoice that another of the left’s irreplaceable icons is leaving and the contemptuous Greens won’t be able to sugar coat their drivel and communist PC propaganda crap.

It would take a veritable ambassatorial genius with the charm of Barack Obama and the overt intellgence of Stephen Hawkings to equal this gracious threat to democracy.

Can’t be done.

Good bye Jeanette.

You seemed like such a damned fine human being. Sadly, I just can’t be that fully persuaded.

But good luck in your future endeavours. You deserve a good send off.

The chief nutter to be replaced for an even more deranged MP? I don’t see any cause for celebration.

The saving grace and hope is Turei will continue making those ridiculous statemes she’s known for and that will disappoint more and more of the Luddites’ supporters.

this is great news. the Greens will have to look outside of the current MP’s.

the decision over the next leader will be a sexist one right? No Males need apply? is that legal?

Delahunty would be the best choice. She would ace the debates

Brian Smaller “Philu – have you ever heard of tinyurl? If not I suggest you have a look.”

Whilst I agree that tinyurl would be an improvement to the current situation, ideally Philu should be encouraged to stop linkwhoring altogether.

I say Greens should vote for the Singing Defective.
