Elections are coming up. What are we thinking?

[Oscar]

Goodbye Hone, goodbye Internet Mana..

[Berries]

Only a non vote is a wasted vote.

And a vote for Labour by all accounts.

It'd be about time they did, but, I wouldn't hold my breath.......you'll get the government you deserve........

I wouldn't say it in such a cliche manner.
Aunty Helen exported her support base to Aussie after all the years of annoying nanny state policies.
Now with labour crippled by that we have national steam rolling into a 50% mandate for another three years of dictatorship.
Looking at the results no real close results except for interweb mana so my abstaining has had no effect either on the sideshow.

So what does the result mean for bikers?
Still going to be ripped off by ACC...

By being a biker, the government gets one more way to rip us off. They're not selective. They're out to get everybody. A $60bn+++ debt doesn't pay itself off, y'know.

Labour may be breathing a sigh of relief. They don't have to contend with a country that will be crippled by National's (un)economic borrowing policies.

Hildas husband a legend

Meh... I prefer comedy.

[Stylo]

How many elections is it now that Labour have gone short ?

Or is it someone else's fault they did so badly, again ?

[scrivy]

So......... does this make Kim Dump Cum the 'Biggest Loser'?

Goodbye Hone, goodbye Internet Mana..

Best result possible under the circumstances ... fuck off Dot.com and abolish the Maori seats ... obviously they do not want them!

Mike Hosking "and we're crossing to Hone Harawira, but he's speaking in Maori which most of us don't understand so we'll go back later"

What an amazingly ignorant gaffe to make ... could/should/maybe it will cost him his job!

Ach, I was enjoying Take The High Road.

What an amazingly ignorant gaffe to make ... could/should/maybe it will cost him his job!

With comments like that he could become a politician.

Even my son choked when he heard it! I'm sure there must be others who picked up on it though who will have more of a bone to pick with him over it than I. (Although son just told me it was Te Ururoa Flavell that was crossed over to who was speaking in te reo, not Hone)

OMG, someone was realistic. Shame on him.

And good riddance KDC and your paranoid followers, and thankyou the non voters for helping the right team win...
