Leave your dick alone phil, your brain is screaming out for more blood.

Thank for that… really made me laugh!

As for the poll; Nationals continued high showing in the polls is sealing Helen legacy in my opinion. It says that Helen + Michael were in power for almost 4 years too long.

^ it’s the only explanation really. Because National is still being Labour-lite in many ways.

I don’t think it’s surreal at all. National have copied or have kept Labours policies. After 9 years of frothing at the mouth they have decided it wasn’t as bad as they said it was. That Labour pretty much “got it right”. Now THAT sounds surreal.

that National on 54% (plus 2%) is clearly on the wrong track by not implementing ACTs 1% (minus – 1.5%) ‘vision for the future’.

that Winston First, static on 1%, is poised for a comeback.

that the Maori Party has only one safe seat Te Tai Tokerau)

and Labour on 31.5% (minus 1.5%) doesn’t even rate a mention.

…. or could it just be that middle New Zealand has got it about right?

p.s. For ‘Our Phil’ … by my count and since the election this is the fifth time in 7 months you have said (in respect of National) “this is as good as it gets”. Stuck record perhaps.

I think you will find that it is mathematically impossible to lose more than 100% of anything.

Now it’s: “Morning tea at David Cunliffe’s: You bring the votes, he’ll supply the ‘T’.

Labour had the knowhow to drag NZ to the left – National has a golden opportunity to pull it back, if only to the centre to start with. Start giving Sir Roger a bigger role in the push back. Any Government that has him sitting on his hands is a Government NOT committed to change for the better.

How embarrassing would it be to say in three years that Labour used Sir Roger more effectively than National did?

The result of this is that we have a man and a government who are afraid of doing what is right, they are still being controlled by what Labour said pre election, they backed key into a corner and the bastard is afraid to come out swinging.

It pains me to say it but our nation is still in the grasp of Klark and Kullen, until Key rediscovers his testicles he will continue to be held back by the pre election labour party spin.

The Nat’s and Key should realise that THIS is the term when they can change things, THIS is the term when they can go a long way toward weaning Kiwi’s off the welfare state and teaching the lazy bastards that any improvement in living standards only comes about through your own hard work.

Say what you like about Labour but they were smart enough to know that the first term is the one to implement real change, they used their honeymoon period to push their own agenda, Key is missing his one chance to make a real difference

The reality is that Labour are still relevant, the bastards are almost as relevant as they were pre election, the more worrying and scary reality is that this will not change as long as Neville Key remains the leader, its time for a change and its time for Crusher Collins.

Cruise control

He’s well and truely got National’s number.

He states:

“The problem as I see it is this: National is hamstrung, essentially, because it can’t do any of the things a National administration would normally do right about now because it signed up almost entirely to Labour’s policy programme.

That’s the reality of this situation. Attacking the media for pointing this out doesn’t make it not so.”

National still supports a 38% top tax rate, Working for Families, compulsary student unionism…. Why don’t they start believing in themselves and doing what Labour did by implementing some policy? Labout achieved so much in their first few years, as much as it pissed us off – so why isn’t National doing something to brand themselves?

If they don’t get a majority ACT/Nat Govt after the next election – they would have blown their only opportunity to push through meaningful right wing policy. Who knows who will support them next time, and every thinking person knows that ACT will vote for anything that will give us less state and more freedom.

National, step up!

Nice and calm, no abuse, gentle, no whinging, lovely young people disscusing politics and the importance of being earnest.

Google it and good luck.

Bristol, Hull, and Newcastle. Dusseldorf, Barcelona (again), and Scotland for a weekend break.

I have also gotten a little tired of the shrill noises from the shape shifters, but I still fail to understand why they persist with their

false recollections, and tiresome ideology. All of which is based on a false premise.

They really fail to comprehend how folk resent being ordered around.
