Key Government out on its own. No one else to blame!

Then you need to hang around with a better class of people, otherwise they will drag you down.

i don't "hang" with any particular class of people.
i do have dealings with all manner of people, from downright niggers, to whores, to senior business analysts, CEOs, even the odd jew. (and, i'll admit, accountants), farmers, fuckwits, faggots and females, even.

and i've been known to listen to talkback.

there's three people i suspect are nationalites, but they also believe buildings fall down when planes don't hit them, so....

90% of people.
well, ones i deal with, and that canvases a fairly large cross section of the population.

Anecdotal evidence and observations from one person go to show an opinion that can't reliably be extrapolated to the entire population.

you actually disagree with the figure or just want to argue?

48% of the electorate voted for National, unprecedented under MMP. Helen never got much over 40% . Your 90 % is wishful thinking, do you seriously believe that all those people voted for someone they despise.
Time to get a new set of friends that don't have blinkers.

talkback eh....where you gets your best ideas

[mstriumph]

Did you vote during the erection too?

I wonder who voted for the pussies and that arsehole?

i'm not sure yet that I believe in politics - so no, not I

[mstriumph]

Really? With all due respect what was it you guys claimed about shooting the messenger?

To seek and try to understand is not prejudice, there is a lot of stuff out there as you have so ably demonstrated with your link!

It is not unreasonable to wonder whether or not (with his known background) our John Key has links and loyalties to these people!

And if he does have these links, again as you have so ably demonstrated, it is obvious who his loyalties will serve first!

That was the object of my original post and the answers might now become more obvious over the next three years with more freedom to govern as he likes!

"you guys"? "these people"??
i don't like John Key or any other self-interested, tunnel-visioned person - don't like bigots, either

and I WILL comment on it when I see it ... otherwise such folks may take my silence as approbation.

"First they came for the Jews
and I did not speak out
because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for the Communists
and I did not speak out
because I was not a Communist.
Then they came for the trade unionists
and I did not speak out
because I was not a trade unionist.
Then they came for me
and there was no one left
to speak out for me."

Friedrich Gustav Emil Martin Niemöller (14 January 1892 – 6 March 1984)

Likewise, I see some who appear to be holding the world to ransom and I ask why and can this be true? ... Don't see much difference really!

I didn't vote for John Key and his team either but I don't dislike him (I don't know him) and I am happy with the result of the election!

Because I simply wonder where his loyalties really lie, your inference appears to suggest that that makes me a bigot!

aha. and i probably have more to do with the million that elected not to vote... guess who they do or dont support...

and yes, i believe a lot of pricks voted for "the lesser of two evils" despite a personal opposition to JK. remember he's just the puppet at the top, the national party have sound fiscal policies...

talkback eh....where you gets your best ideas

pah! they don't catch me.

sure that is all that can be claimed, a guess. Your claim seems to be that because someone chose not to vote they do not support National, ergo they do support the opposition parties?

The choice to not participate in the democratic process is part of the democratic process whatever the motivation for non-participation. It a complete load of Akzleshit to say non-voting means anything other than people didnt vote.

i asked the question. that is, 1 million people who usually vote, chose not to, your guess as to whether all of them either dont support national, or do support the opposition. or whatever the fuck logic you're trying to wrangle.

It a complete load of Akzleshit to say non-voting means anything other than people didnt vote.

and i don't believe i was drawing that bow...

I like to start the morning on a bright note, winding up the tossers amuses my perverted sense of humour.

6:30 You'd be sliding into those slippers & lighting the first pipe for the day .
