The 2017 Election Thread

[James Deuce]

Nice, but there is no moral vote only a numerical one. A National/NZ First/Act govt would have the majority of the votes. So too would a Labour/Greens/NZ First if that’s how it comes to pass.

No good getting upset, we had our say, now it’s up to the politicians.

ACT are going into opposition, irrespective of outcome.

I don't think act will survive the next election with an MP at all. No Hyde, Prebble or Douglas =no party future.

I was using "moral" in the loose sense of majority rules as chosen by the most moral voter. And yet they all share the same parliament lol. I kind of like the idea behind no government being able to get more than 49% of the vote... nor indeed teaming up to make more than 49% to form a government. They should leave that shit for voting on the issues.

lol@up to the politicians. Gold.

I'd like to see a Labour-National Coalition.

Anything that keeps the Winston First party away from real decisions suits me fine. He's a thoroughly reprehensible little individual.

That's what the majority of voters said they want - only it should be National - Labour majority vote leads!

If they can't get it together the electorate will decide next election - that would make them accountable to the voters rather than each other - like now.

I must say, it is all a very good advert to convince non-voters to vote next time around.

That never works.
Whining cunts will whine and then refuse to vote.

.......then whine like fuck for the next three years then refuse to vote then whine like fuck for the next three years then refuse to vote then whine like fuck for the next three years then refuse to vote then whine like fuck for the next three years then refuse to vote then whine like fuck for the next three years then refuse to vote then whine like fuck for the next three years then refuse to vote then they die.

[McJim]

Well I voted but I sure as hell didn't vote for Winnie. It is therefore my democratic right to complain about anything and everything that horrid little man says and does. Any party that goes into coalition with him will not get my vote in the next general election.

You seem to have fallen in to the same trap as many by suggesting non voters whine. They don't because they simply don't care, they just get on with life. Seems to me that this thread is populated by people complaining who did actually vote. The whole thing is a joke, and that is coming from someone who has shared a cigar and a whisky with Mr Peters Less than 10% voted for him but he has held NZ in his palm for a fortnight and will do so for another six months or so until the wheels well and truly fall off.

That's only because national and Labour let him. They have the option to make him irrelevant, but he would need to have really pissed them off for them to do that. Meantime the two major parties are in it for what they can get, and one of them will get Winston.

I'm wondering if there is something akin to the elephant in the room...
The Lunatic Fringe party are being deliberately ignored by Winston. No meetings or phonecalls (perhaps their hemp-based telephone only receives smoke signals?), and not even a message via courier pigeon, which might be the only acceptable option to them.

IF Winston gets into bed with liarbour, he then has the Lunatic Fringe hassling him all the time, as a "partner" as well...
It would be wise to start a countdown to the chaos and mayhem ---> disintegration of their "coalition partnership" in a short time indeed.

Winnie's decision should be "entertaining" at least.

[Paul in NZ]

Winnie's decision should be "entertaining" at least.

Its entertaining him anyway... Hes happy as....

But remember that the decision has to be ratified by the NZ First board of directors... The 'secret' board.... LOL's... I bet its winnie looking in a set of mirrors asking for a show of hands....

[Swoop]

Perhaps one of those dressing room mirrors that wrap right around you? Or more like "crazy house" distorting mirrors?

[oldrider]

Anyone seen or heard of a government anywhere abouts in Kiwi land? it's kinda like school these days where everyone participates but there are no winners!
