So, what if the Lizard Man aka John Banks gets rolled?

[HenryDorsetCase]

If he is stood down as a Munster the Nats majority stays as is. No change

If he gets arseholed out of Parliament then maybe a minority gubblemunt. No change.

If he gets arseholed out of Parliament and Nats go "Fuck it, early election) then either:

They get arseholed and we get a David Shearer led coalition of the Commies and the disaffected and Winston Peters as kingmaker; or

They get arseholed, and that lunatic fucking Christian fucktard gets (according to I think Rod Oram) over the 5% so instead of the Nats and arsehole banks we get the Nats and a stone age bunch of loony tunes.

Awesome.

Are we seeing the problem?


The problem is politicians.

[BoristheBiter]

Who fucking cares.
They are all just as bad as each other. It would make no real day to day difference to me, but in to days economy who do you want to ran the country, someone that just gives the money away or some one that saves some?

On saying that I think it is shit that the Nats have changed the Kiwisaver.

What we're seeing is a media beatup.

The two main charges are:

1. Dodgy return on donations after running for Auckland Mayor. Not a good look, but nothing to do with his position as an MP unless he gets convicted. As the rules around Local Body Elections are much easier than Parliamentary ones, not a likely outcome.
2. Forgot to include Gift Basket on Parliamentary Gift Register. Also not a good look, considering who it come from, but he has now ammended the return. Last year seven MP's did the same thing by ammended gift returns after the due date. No biggie - worst that can happen (but unlikely) is a Privileges Committee hearing which can suspend him from the house for up to three months.

By-election in Epsom, Nats win it by a country mile and gain an extra seat at ACT's expense so JK only has a tricky period when JB's vote is missing to negotiate.

I might be wrong but as the NZ parliment is normally 120 seats but currently 121 seats due to ACT winning 1 seat but not enough Party seats to warrant a seat the cause of the overhang. Should National win the by election they would gain 1 electorate seat but lose a list seat leaving their numbers the same but reducing Parliment to the normal 120 seats.

MMP is the biggest issue. But yea numbers aren't in our favour either, we have one of, if not the highest per capita.

In terms of ditching Banks, if it is going to happen it will be AFTER the budget is released as he needs that vote to keep a confidence & supply agreement.


JK or David Shearer? Not a hard decision after seeing Shearer's resume, the guy is practically related to mother Theresa lol.
