The way her luck has been running I wouldn't be surprised to see some other catastrophe just before voting time that will help all the dumb shits forget just how useless her and her party of muppets have been.
you are correct, admitting there was a fuck up does not negate the existence of the fuck up, is that not kind of how life works?
As I said, I am no Labour fanboy and things like the kiwibuild fiasco shows this current government has not been 100% successful. Is it possible for any government able to claim they did everything they set out to?
Your pejorative terminology for the PM aside, the NZ system requires cabinet government and I would be the first to say the existing Labour caucus is light on obvious talent. That leaves the PM to carry the can in a lot of matters, she is only human.
I remain fascinated that you are so passionate about sharing your thoughts on a country and people you seem to have so much vitriol for and seem to have chosen to leave behind. Do not get me wrong, if you moved to the states for a better life, good on ya and I wish you well but rest easy that little old NZ and its issues will have zero impact on you over there, take it easy.
