The 2020 Election Thread

[TheDemonLord]

You are confused. When that graph was published it reflected the number of cases. Population size is completely irrelevant. If you did factor population size in it wouldn't look any better for the US. They have something like 3% of the world's population and 30% of the world's Corona cases.
And climbing.

Of course it matters - you are using absolute figures. More People will mean more cases (unless you are China, then the number of cases will be whatever Winnie the Pooh says it is)

Just on that Graph alone, comparing the UK to the US - the US has like 5 times the population

[husaberg]

not by a lot

ya wasting your time with him

The Navajo Nation is currently suffering Covid 19 cases and is unable to get meaningful supplies or help from the federal government. They asked for PPE and were sent body bags.
In the late 1840s when Ireland was suffering a potato famine the Navajo people apparently sent money to Ireland to help out. The Irish have now returned the favour sending money to the Navajo. Medicine Sans Frontieres have sent people.
Just fucking marvellous. "The greatest nation on earth" needs help from an international aid agency, that makes them about equal with Afghanistan.

if he only had a wall and some bleach and if the media didnt report the words he said Trump would be doing great




odd how these nat supporters have gone all quiet about the polls

Labour has failed miserably in keeping its election promises. That coupled with all the other blunders horseface has mishandled, Curran, Lees Galloway, that Murray woman who yelled at her people for missing that photo opportuniddy, etc National has a great chance.

[husaberg]

opps he did it again
Paula Benefit
https://www.stuff.co.nz/national/pol...-benefit-again
despite polling slightly less than Mashman did at the last election "I'm the leader and I'm staying that way," Bridges said.
He said did not believe there were rumblings about his leadership.
Word is due for a no confidence vote next week the only poll he is ever expected to win............

[husaberg]

shit its going to be funny when Luxton rolls Muller post election, they will not even have to change the posters...........

Simon, as he said at the end of his speech......he was proud to have been leader of NZ (.....s national party)

I suspect you'll be busy over the next few days digging up whatever dirt you can find on Todd Muller then.

[pete376403]

Not sure if National need another devout catholic pushing a personal agenda (Both English and Muller opposed the abortion reform and the euthanasia bills) and Muller will no doubt will oppose the upcoming cannabis reform. He is more than welcome to his own beliefs but should not be able to push them onto the country.
As for Nikki Kaye, I find it hard to get past how she, when diagnosed with cancer and because of being a politician, was treated and cured in the same or less time than it would take a member of the public to get the first appointment to see a specialist. So much for being one of the people.

On the bright side, no more of Paula Benefit in second chair.

Hardly the first time your mouth wrote a cheque your brain cant cash now is it.
whilst personally i am glad they finally euthanised siomon. Berridges. i do feel a little sorry for him.
You on the other hand i doubt you are even aware of what empathy is, being a narcissistic bellend and all.
BTW have you found a single qualified mechanic to back up your assertion that the Geet engine is the work of a genius yet?

He sounds like the modern day Nikola Tesla.

David Pantone, the man behind GEET international, took over the business of promoting the GEET engine from his father Paul, who claims to have been given the technology in 1975 by an angel named 'Mrs. Cunningham'.

The Devil will take care of you. For do we not have a loving God?

Who created earth and the heavens and all around? Who then created a barbecue to burn the souls of those who did not believe for eternity?

Do not belittle the Catholic faith. For did not God send an alter boy to tend for his dutiful servant's very dry foreskin?
Yay for I am the Lord and my work shall be done. And swallowed for that matter.

Exactly. Politicians are meant to push for their constituents. Not themselves

[mashman]

He is both politician and constituent. The obvious solution would be for constituency wide referenda to be held on issues that he has a potential conflict with... but such direct democracy tools would be problematic for many reasons, not least of which being that the electorate could then direct their representative to vote for something that is against the principles of the politician, and quite possibly against the policy of the party, shock horror

Just putting this here...

After all the bleating, they could have just listened to the previous gubbinment's conclusion... but no, just waste more taxpayer's money.

They were going to be in there by Christmas before last.
I'm a little disappointed, they could have had my vote this year if they had kept any of their promises.
We can throw that one in with Kiwibuild.

My only sympathies are with the locals, but I don't recall National keeping their promises either.

On another note, I hope the Labour Dept got a rocket up the arse and a reorganisation following their idiot level response to the incident. Twenty odd people involved in an underground explosion and phone calls to the Dept were greeted with a robot, "Our business hours are 9.00AM to 5.00PM"
or whatever. People should have been handed the arse card. But hey! Gummint!
