Teflon John survives another one

[Akzle]

The whole irony of democracy is that the disaffected, the ones who moan about the world as it is (i.e. the young) , make up a large proportion of those who don't vote.

i dont think you comprehend irony, nor 'democracy' as it exists. Vox populi and what not.
You should probably kill yourself, for the benefit of society. And shit.

Yes - exactly - so why does Teflon John's popularity stay so high???

Because he appeals to women, and women are more likely to muck about answering polling questions??

I cant believe how low opposition parties have sunk when it comes to leaders with credibility. None of them have any backbone.
Russell Norman seems to the only one who seems to sticks to his beliefs, even if I thinks he's wrong on a lot of things.
I admired Pita Sharples.
Colin Craig comes across as a pasty faced rich mummys boy,
Winnie is a stuck record.
Honi is good entertainment value.
The Internet crowd wouldn't even make the 'Jokes' section on KB.
Is Act still going?

Almost like some kind of pattern or message?

Dammit - where is SETI when you need them!

This thread needs more pictures

Because the media still like him and the people that answer polls are also the people that watch what the media says and can't think outside the dogma. Next term, when the businesses running the media have tired of him, or should I say they (nats) have delivered on most of their promises to the 'media' and the Nats are starting to think they nolonger require their puppet masters then you will see a swing. Basically the way it seems to work in NZ is first term be good to the people, (don't sell the family silver for example or interfer in how they raise their kids for examples), second term make good on your promises to the masters that you didn't exactly make clear to the voters, (sell sell sell, exert control), third term the polies start thinking they can go it alone so it is time for the masters to bite back.

Not a bad summary really, seems to go like that. On that note though, why the hell do we have to go through this circus every 3 years? Fucken unproductive considering a change in government. First year is getting to grips, last year is electioneering, so one year of anything that might resemble productivity? Lets not even mention all the costs associated as well.

Push it out to 4-5 years...

And now we have Gerry Brownlee in the spotlight for bypassing airport security.

He has offered his resignation and John Key has refused to accept it.

I personally thought Grant Robertson would have been pretty good as leader of the Labour party. Probably not good enough to get me to vote for them (KimDotCom 4 LYF, yo!) but better than Silent.

But the labour factions just would not buy him as a leader. Its a pity.

In other news, in an online poll recently among US presidential candidates, Darth Vader has a handy lead.

Nothing more to talk about that now is there ... sorted! ... unless you are a member of the oposition!

Proverb: "It's difficult to soar with the eagles when you are surrounded by turkeys scratching for morsels"!

[avgas]

You mean the general public?

[oldrider]

You mean the general public?

Largely yes but then if you are PM of NZ the rest of the nation is the oposition and the ring leaders are those that would be PM if they could!
