Her having a kid is all good by me. I have read comments that she is irresponsible etc, but for fucks sake she doesn't sit in a chair making all the decisions.

Also, any public figure with even the slightest hint of a slightly irregular physical feature is open slather to have that feature ridiculed in public. Been happening for centuries, its just a bit of fun just check out any satirical cartoon.

there is a lot of people with not much to do........

except report on events, mostly trivial

I hope it doesn't relapse into the Diana type exposure.

Its why I don't listen or watch the media (except via KB of course)

CFWB - Have they finished all the roadworks around parliament and the surrounds yet?
It was a nightmare last time I was there. Far too many cunts leaning on shovels, no one making the tea though.

time for coffee

I'm not sure Bro. I very rarely get down that end of town.

The only concerns I have with the Pregnancy are as follows:

1: Although small, there are still risks associated with Pregnancy (nearly lost of a friend due to Blood loss from a Uterus that didn't clamp down and clot after delivery) - which could see either an extended absence from the position of PM (resulting in the country being led by someone no one effectively voted for) or potentially forcing her to step down - now I must stress, these are unlikely, but still a possibility.

2: The Baby Blues and Post-Natal Depression - these are a thing, for most women, their Hormones sort themselves out after a couple of weeks after Birth (although there is a fair amount of research to suggest that the body undergoes permanent changes due to this), but nonetheless, it is a potential issue.

3: I've read that she is going to have her partner be the Stay-at-home dad - which is fair enough, however - There's a fair amount of statistical evidence that suggests she will either:
a) Not go back to work full time
b) Be resentful at having to go back to work full time
As a perfect case study - look at Toni Street formerly form Seven Sharp - from her own words - her Dream Job, the pinnacle of success, everything she had ever wanted.... And yet having to spend that much time away from her kids was making her miserable to the point she chose to step down, in order to achieve a better work/life balance.

Now, I'm sure there will be the predictable accusations of "SEXIST!" - however the first 2 are ones that are uniquely applicable to Women, and the second is backed up by a wealth of Statistical data.

It's fair to say, I'm not a Jacinda/Labour fan - but all that said - I wish her well with the Pregnancy - I hope she doesn't suffer any of the risks I've outlined, and I hope she proves the skeptics like me wrong and is able to fully commit to being the PM.

Seriously, what a fuckwit.

A poll I saw before the election suggested that many would have preferred WP over JA or WE as PM.

Why so angry?
Does reality upset you so much?

We've got a 1 in 6 chance of our PM having a significant Mental condition, I'd say that's something serious to consider.

I'd counter with the question - why didn't more people vote for him then?

**pritch** · 20th January 2018, 13:24

About that "your team my team" thing, yes it does exist. A guy I know, not at all irrational although he does seem to watch a fair bit of Fox News, was aghast when Labour managed to cobble together a coalition. Really though we don't have too many loose units in our parliament, used to be lots in the Social Credit Party, but they couldn't actually get into parliament. These days the odd one seems to turn up, usually in NZ First or the Greens. There really isn't a huge difference between Labour and National, both are centrist parties.

We've survived a PM with a significant drinking problem at least once - Muldoon - we'll survive this.

I'm far from angry. Just have a poor tolerance for total fuckwits. And I'm guessing, seeing as she's got through the first bit, dealing with morning sickness, and a massive change in hormonal balance, that she'll be just fine. She's obviously built of way sterner stuff than your poor self. And you'd know all about having to deal with mental illness.
