David Shearer quits

[Jantar]

Trouble is, we need Labour to be strong and provide a credible alternate option to National, .........

Too true. Unfortunately this hasn't happened since the days of Walter Nash. Sure there are times that Liarbour has been strong (Helen Clark years), there are times that Labour has been credible (David Lange), and there are times that Liarbour has been an alterative to national (Norm Kirk). Sometimes Liarbour has even managed to string two of these traits together at once, but all three together is something we haven't seen since 1957.

FUCK. THIS. CUNT.

Winston. The only cunt in government with a set of stones

[AllanB]

Probably a very nice guy, just in the wrong job.

Reckon that ex trade union guy will have a crack ............ fuck that, he'd ruin NZ.

[Oakie]

Winston. The only cunt in government with a set of stones

Shame they're in his head though.

I will admit that Winston is a great speaker. Trouble is that there's no substance behind what he talks about.

Key is living up to the job description.

pol·i·ti·cian
/ˌpäləˈtiSHən/
Noun

A person who is professionally involved in politics.
A person who acts in a manipulative and devious way, typically to gain advancement.

I guess that's why so many like him... he's like the son they never had.

[Oblivion]

The best thing that Liabour could do for the country is shut up shop altogether and piss off into oblivion! Oh they have you say!

Nty, I don't want him.

[Brian d marge]

the interesting thing is the way that the useless pricks pick their leader: votes are 40% caucus, 40% party and 20% affiliates, i.e. unions.

The thing is that Helen Clarke ruled them with a rod of iron, then left, creating a vacuum. there was no Plan B. She had a Plan B, Cullen had enough and there was no succession planning.

Same here.

It depends which faction gains ascendancy. Even though Grant Robertson is depiddy leader I doubt he can muster the numbers. Plus he would be anathema to wider NZuld. (except for the SMOKEU party, what with him being teh gayzzor and all). Annette KIng? maybe.

my pick is cuntlips. then a purge. watch the smug Nazional bullyboys coast into win the next election by default, the only actual opposition is Rusty Russ Normal and my favourite pollie of all, Gimme a W Gimme an I Gimme, ah fuck it just gimme the baubles the one the only Wunstun petersii.

Keep the red flag flying comrades.

yup , I concur

but you COULD ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, vote for ..........






ME!

I would be great at the Job , ... Just think of what would happen ..

beer , drugs , Chinese investors ( whores) all heavily subsidized , or free on the NHS

free road tax for vehicles with less than 4 wheel , taxes removed on ( any thing that takes my fancy )

Road to have more curves in them , ie no road can be longer than the time it takes a ZX12 to top out

lesbians , fat butch dykes will be asked nicely to go to Australia , and Alison mao ? and her mates will be encouraged to return , ( same job , but lots of money if she reads the news is a wet see through camisole )

Vote for me ....go on gizza a job go on lad !

Personally I don't care who they replace him with, I'd vote for an earthworm if it got rid of the arrogant fuckwits leading our country now. This shit seems to happen in NZ politics too often, second term and we no longer have a democracy just a pack of shitheads passing their own agendas without listening to the public.

I wouldn't be too sure.
After The Winebox enquiry there were a LOT of changes in the tax system because of what he started.

that was a long time ago, don't you remember his last stint in power, Helen gave him the foreign ministers job to get him out of the country as much as possible, he lied though his teeth about Owen Glenn giving him money,

Still, I can see him partnering up with National after the next election, as i suspect he will hold the balance of power, and wont want to play 3rd chair behind labour and the greens on the left,

The best thing any politician can do is swallow a dick and choke.

They'd had far too much practice to do that.

Is that why they passed the gay marrige laws?

[MisterD]

that was a long time ago,

Have you seen him in parliament recently? He sounds half-cut when he asks a question, sits down and falls asleep.

[Swoop]

Yes, I remember the "no baubles for me please" Winnie of that era.
I bet he took the job to get away from Heilen as much as possible.
