So now we know...

My understanding is that in a lot of countries running MMP, the Greens feature in pretty much all governments.

It's just a pity that our Green come across as a bunch of loonies, cos I do support some of their goals.

I notice Jeanette Fitzsimmons (SP?) isn't the co-leader anymore. I like Bradford being described as the "Underdog" to take her place.

'we' all paid extra so that Mrs Mop in Liverpool could have a cheap Sunday roast of NZ lamb.

The fuck she could. In the late 70's NZ lamb landed in the UK at half the price of the local product, but it sold across the counter for almost 4 times that much.

Sorry, that's me just having fun - as mentioned I'm not a diehard Labour supporter although clearly I'd prefer a left-leaning coalition with a strong Green influence. Maybe we should try that sometime?

Aaaarrrggghhhhh....nooooooo....

There, fixed that for you.

The greens are just a bunch of watermelons, they might be nice and green on the outside but they are scarlet red on the inside.

You say that like it's a bad thing.

What I'm enjoying is how, like some of the nutty rants I've seen on trademe, the lefties turn it all into a cult of personality thing.

It's John Key this and John Key that. Not the party, or the politics, or what the other party would have done that would be better (or what they did before to prevent the bad economy we have now).

Typical lefties, still reeling from 9 years of Aunty Helen.

North Korea and their glorious leader would be proud.

[Grumpy Gnomb]

Man I love reading this stuff everyone has an opinion and to be honest most of everyones stuff has some valid points in it. well done to everyone

[H00dz]

...how much a personal guarantee from John Key is worth.

Bet all you geniuses who voted for "the tax cut party" are feeling really smart now, huh?

I didnt Vote for National.......but I think that they have acted iresponsibily with their budget, under the circumstances I dont think they could have done much else.....Election promises swing voters sure, but they are never give ins

Yep, and they have trailer trash Bradford.

There will be blood if that ever happens, and rightly so.

[Skyryder]

so you agree Key was on to it suggesting tax cuts would work to stimulate the economy ?

325rocket

It's not about me or if I belive that tax cuts would work in not. Key at the election believed that they would and he and the Nats campaigned on this policy.

Now by canning the cuts they are in effect saying that tax cuts will not stimulate the economy.

And some here still they think they have 'not' been conned.

[Skyryder]

The greens are just a bunch of watermelons, they might be nice and green on the outside but they are scarlet red on the inside.

So why did they go into coalition the the Nats?? The greens don't know what colour they are. Red or blue? It's all a bit of a mystery to them.

Man, we listened to the righties for the last 9 years say the same about Helen....
What I cant understand is people believe the bullshit from both the Nats & Labour & still vote for them time after time...To scared to make a change for a new direction. Ignorance is seemingly quite blissful.
Id much rather a coalition of Greens ,Maori,Bill & Ben,& legalize Pot party....

Two Crocodiles were sitting at the side of the swamp near the lake. The smaller one turned to the bigger one and said, 'I can't understand how you can be so much bigger than me. We're the same age; we were the same size as kids. I just don't get it.'

'Well,' said the big Croc, 'what have you been eating?'

'Politicians, same as you,' replied the small Croc.

'Hmm. Well, where do you catch them?'

'Down the other side of the swamp near the parking lot by the Capitol.'

'Same here. Hmm. How do you catch them?'

'Well, I crawl up under one of their Lexus cars and wait for one to unlock the car door. Then I jump out, grab them by the leg, shake the shit out of them and eat 'em!'

'Ah!' says the big Crocodile, 'I think I see your problem. You're not getting any real nourishment. See, by the time you finish shaking the shit out of a Politician, there's nothing left but an asshole and a briefcase.

Just shows that they are willing to suck up to anyone that will give them the time of day.
