iPredict on Richard Worth

June 11th, 2009 at 3:15 pm by David Farrar

iPredict has stock on whether Worth will leave Parliament in 2009 and the market thinks he will – at 78%.

I am not sure the odds are that high. With the earlier allegation somewhat unravelling (but not totally), it is hard to see what will trigger him being forced to quit. However he may decide to quit anyway rather than spend two years miserable as a backbencher. I’d personally not price the stock at over 60%.

There is also a stock on whether a second Minister will depart in 2009 and that is at 39%. Again I think that is too high and would put it at 25% at this stage.

    Where was this deep concern for Ministerial actions when Labour were in power Toad?

    More Green party hypocrisy.

    Donald Trump on Carrie Prejean: “Carrie is a beautiful young woman”.

    Phil Goff on Neelam Choudary: she is “strikingly attractive”.

    NZ has found its own Donald Trump!

    Now that we know that Key’s anger was not about Worths sex like but about getting cosy with a rabid socialist and person of dubious honesty we know the real reason for Key sacking him. Next move of course will be for Worth to “retire” from politics with the usual handshake granted these types. He will of course be promoted to his next level of incompetency(aren’t they always?) and no doubt will be made a High Court Judge. Well didn’t they do the same thing for Cullen?
    eh of course the National Socialists will look after their own kind. Can’t do anything else given the example set with the Labour socialist.
