Yup - have to agree. Nothing wrong with unionists or ghey people per say BUT too many of one and not enough of the other makes for some BAAAAD Ju ju ....

I dont know how many times its been proved but selling off companies like Telecom, power etc etc always turns to shit in such a small country. Truth is we need something between National and Labour and we need to be able to exploit some of our resources without selling everything to overseas buyers. ah - feck - buggered if I know...

Wonder what his comment on the greens would be...

Nah, Labour are well behind the 8 ball - a party of drag queens doing the full Priscilla Queen of the Desert thing might give them an edge over John Key and his merry pranksters, but Dancing Queen Rodney and his canary yellow jacket is a force to be reckoned with. they tried with Chris Carter was a bit of a sideshow, but he's just a whiny old queen.

As for the Greens - boring as fuck. Metiria Turei may be a lesbian, but as far as I'm concerned lesbians that aren't drop dead gorgeous 22 year old blonde norwegian lingerie models just don't cut it. The rest are dreadfully serious and earnest and all about trying to be honest and decent and make the world a better place. FFS, no wonder they never get above 8%!

Nah, I'm still a committed Nat voter.

The local body version in Welly looks to be well capable of fucking up the national road transport plan though, they'll be well pleased with that.

Not picking on you Paul, because many people think the same, but is that actually true? When NZ Postal and Telephone Services operated, it took 6 weeks to get a new phone connection. Telecom was created...and it took 5 days. Almost instant connection today.

Electricity - 75% of generation is owned by the NZ government - you and me. Plus we own the high tension lines and the Cook Strait cable.

Of course...none of this excuses fairies and Leninists in the Labour list. A sadly skewed party.

Monopolies. The cause of almost all of the really really bad deals you can't avoid.

Publicly owned monopolies are easy to deal with, just sell half the business to some other bastard.

The privately owned ones you need to finness. I'd just take half their business and nationalise it. Simple.

Just remains to keep a lookout for colusive pricing strategies and hang any suspects by the balls.

I keep telling you idiots, all this governing shit is easy.

Same. Always liked pick up trucks and country music. Hey, there's something National could do - get Bill English playing the Banjo. He's definitely a weak link - the guy is as boring as a well, an accountant or an engineer. Oops, sorry, I forgot you were an engineer. I take that back, he's as interesting as an engineer.

I have to give him even more credit. He apologised to Phil Goff for "causing trouble" but NOT for his original comments.

Perhaps the new leader for labour?

And he gets in trouble for telling the truth?

Reminds me of an old Irish blessing: "May no new thing arise."

Not sure I'd want to be a politician, although it sure pays better. That King thing looks a far more attractive proposition.

May you live in interesting times, dude.
