Richard Worth + scandal = plummeting polls.
[DPF: You keep believing that. For months people have been predicting the polls would turn. It must upset so much when they don't]

Continued leftist idiocy = languish.
Decisive leadership = approval.
Vote:June 3rd, 2009 at 3:32 pm
NZ continues to languish. Where is the action from key? the outcomes of the job slumber party? Meanwhile, under a LABOR government, Australia continues to grow.

Time to toss out the national Socialists, swallow any remaining national pride and become a state of Aus. Might even end up with a team to win the RWC.

But then along came Richard Worth….

Jesus they really are just one trick ponys. Smear and scandle is the only thing that drives the socialists.
Vote:June 3rd, 2009 at 3:37 pm
Agree Muz that Keys firm action is a winner for the Nats. He’s shown labour how to deal with rouge ministers – shame it will probably be forgotten by the time they are in power again…

“Smear and scandle (sic) is the only thing that drives the socialists.”
Do you ever read the blog of your good friend Whaleoil?
Vote:June 3rd, 2009 at 3:43 pm
You wouldn’t know if whaleoil was up you chronic. On what are you basing your claims that we are friends?

Meanwhile, under a LABOR government, Australia continues to grow.
Wont last long now that the country is seeing another side of Mr Rudd, his shine is starting to come off. People dont like to hear their Prime Minister has reduced an air hostess to tears just because they didnt have the meal he wanted.
Also, that report has to be the only one Ive heard saying Australia are doing well. The morning news, and newspapers have been filled lately with multi billion deficits (both federal and queensland state), massive job losses, etc. And I dont think too many Aussies read the NZ Herald to get the good news either…

Richard Worth + John Key sacking him + attempted media scandal = small insignificant drop in polls
Benson-Pope + Helen Clark not acting quickly = lost jobs for whole of Labour Cabinet

Bevan, try this, then.

Now you have TWO reports saying Aus doing better than NZ, one of which is from OZ. happy now?
No, didn’t think so, here’s another one.

How’s NZ and John Key doing again?
[DPF: Umm we went into recession a year before Key became PM. The Govt's first budget was just a few days ago. So who is to blame for the recession since Jan 08? Pretty obvious]
Vote:June 3rd, 2009 at 4:19 pm
Those polls are pre-budget polls…. throw in a bit of Richard Worth……

That would be Wall Street.

Guess Wall Street doesn’t know about Australia.
edit: yet
Vote:June 3rd, 2009 at 4:27 pm
The question remains – what is Key and the national Socialists doing? Where are the job creating outcomes from the jobs talkfest? How many people have retrained for worthwhile careers on their 10th day? Why are job creating programmes being slashed? How many more people will the national Socialists sacrifice on the altar of Hide’s Auckland destruction?
Come on John Key, stop faffing about and GOVERN!

MNIJ,
Vote:Do you call multi billion federal deficits – doing well?
Do you call the Queensland State government flogging off 15 billion of state assets just to reduce the states budget deficit doing well?
Do you call having the states credit rating reduced from AAA to just AA+ doing well?
June 3rd, 2009 at 4:50 pm
Hmmm maybe this is an example of doing well….

Care to rephrase that?
“On what are you basing your claims that we are friends?”
I seem to recall a controversy about a certain male bonding trip you took together a couple of years ago.

The only time Labour have been more popular than national was way back in 07, guess what they are still dead, farewell and fuck off i hope you enjoy oblivion.

You should resume your medication.
The next polls will be interesting. The Melissa Lee effect ought to have kicked in, parts of South Auckland and West Auckland are already back in the fold, thank you very much. The female vote will be disturbed, that nice Mr Key seems to have been spending some time with somewhat distasteful if not criminal people.
And it took him 8 days to act and he only turns up today looking grumpy? Anyone think that the grumpiness may have been a little bit feigned?
In 2 weeks Labour will have a resounding win in Mount Albert. And in 3 months people will be really wondering if this Government is actually thinking about the big issues. For me I think that power has gone to their heads …
[DPF: Mickey sounds just like he did before the election predicting Labour victory]

Clutching at straws.
Labour will be out in the cold for a very long time. Get use to that fact.

Labour was always going to win Mt Albert – for crying out loud it is one of Labour’s safest seats. The fact that there was the odd whisper of internal polls showing National within 2-3 reflects badly on Labour not National. Lee is not the candidate to pull off what would be a historic upset. From memory the only time an incumbent government has won a safe seat off its Opposition rival in a by-election was under your namesake in the late 30′s. Labour should always be winning this seat “resoundingly”.
Remind us again about what your dear UN esconsed leader did about the police’s prima face case of assault by David Benson – Pope against school children? As I recall – zip. In the end she sacked him only because he lied to Parliament over the sacking of the Environment Ministry PR person who happen to be partners to one of Key’s staff.
Key has dealt as swiftly and decisively as he could on this issue – NZers will not hold it against him or his government that one of his ministers may have commited a crime.

Liarbore are irrelevant and the flunkies at the young labour party cheerleading branch just hate it.

No. You really are that fucking stupid that you wouldn’t know.
“On what are you basing your claims that we are friends?”
“I seem to recall a controversy about a certain male bonding trip you took together a couple of years ago.”
Vote:Then your memory is certainly working on a different plain than mine as I recall no such trip. So once more you’re just a lying little sack of crap talking shit and making things up. No real change, Chronic the crapweasel.

David,
Can you extend back the graph? I’d be interested to know the last time Labour had three out-turns where each was successively ‘better’ than the last (as the most recent four months show).
It could be the start of a worrying trend…
