The 2017 Election Thread

Stupid think is if he had not gone on a witch hunt it would have blown over he transport oversending was a non issue.

Speaking of stupid.....

Sorry, but any male called Jami-Lee was a cock smoking faggott long before he bit the hand that feeds him & renderd himself unemployable any time in the foreseeable future.
What a fucking amateur.

But housing benefits the country. Who will house all the poor people if landlords leave the market?

Absolutely, housing is an essential commodity just like water, food, electricity etc, but you don't hear those other providers being picked at so badly as landlords.

Pretty soon they will be telling property owners how much rent they can charge.
The place is starting to look a bit communist.

It's supposed to look communist - the whole fucking world is supposed to look communist - anything else is simply political trivia and theatre.

The world is not supposed to look or "be" communist.
The glaring examples of why not are East & West Germany. Which one failed?
North & South Korea. Which one failed?

Communism is only a nice idea, but ALWAYS gets hijacked by people who have capitalistic ideals - examples: Soviet Union, China, Russia.
Communism is dead everywhere apart from Academia.

Probably true especially as he was until today a high ranking national cabinet minister.

For some time I've been marvelling at the astounding range of idiocy, incompetence, or corruption exhibited by political leaders in the UK and the USA. As depressing as it has been of late, I've consoled myself with the thought that at least our local politicians were behaving themselves.

Until now.

Suddenly it's full moon at the funny farm. Ah well

A Fish Called Wanda was a particular high point.

Have got to say, he looks ok in his gym gear.

East Germany and North Korea are "communist" in name only. By any other measure they were (GDR) and are (NK) dictatorships, run for the benefit of a limited few.

Even Cameron Slater the National party lapdog is saying Simons time is likely up as National leader.
Which is about as damning indictment as you will ever get from him.

The big question is is national that out of touch with reality they don't realise how much people actually hate Crusher.

Careful you don't offend the delicate flowers around here with your homophobic slurs...

I had to laugh at Paula Bennett claiming "entrapment" of Bridges by Ross on TV this morning.

Looks like Bridges has told some of his mob at least some of what is in the recorded phone conversation.
We'll be able to judge for ourselves when the recording is released by Ross.

Let's see if National try and get a gag order on the recording. I have no problem believing Ross as to what Bridges told him to do with the donation.
Historically, National have been greedy when it comes to donations and have not cared where they came from. One that size would have been a temptation too large to resist.

I'd be more than happy to ditch donations all together, including union contributions, they're only ever going to be seen as vote buying.

And if that's OK then let's take it a step further: $1000 per vote, let's see how committed voters are. eh?

As many votes as you can afford. That would sway the vote in favour of the biggest taxpayers, as opposed to the most obese taxpayers, which surely is what the country needs.

I'm going to assume that the previous two comments were said very much tongue in cheek.

But it doesn't surprise me who they came from.
