David Shearer is the man to lead Labour?

[puddytat]

Weirdy there is some sort of press release today. How coincidental.

Thats because there's a person working for"them" lurking in the shadows on here....what better place to be watching, to gauge the thoughts of the people of our society than here .We cover the whole spectrum ......

Well I hope 'they' are not too shattered when they see the KB reaction...

Spot the moron?

Found him

I should be PM. I'll get the country up to scratch, and then the "cleansing" can begin.

David Shearer is the leader of the labour party, as some of us know.

You need a "who gives a rats arse" option as that seems to be the consensus of the unwashed masses.

[Motu]

Shearer is weak, a 21 century version of Bill Rawling, Cunliffe is shady looking and that Parker chap?...well, he really does look like a Thunderbird character...

Bill Rowling - I got that Deja Vu too, a weak man inherits, and ripe for back stabbing. Cunliffe will get him in the end. Now that the seats are all swapped in MotoGP, we need more theatre.

[Grizzo]

Go the Greens.

I hope that was sarcasm!

[Akzle]

Spot the oxymoron?

i'm not going to lead. i'm going to rule. i'm going to sort all the dipshits out. then the "cleanising" can begin. (it'l be mostly bureaucratic white folk, sorry smokey)

I hope that was sarcasm!

no way. i'm green as.

The Labour Party is visionless and directionless.

David Shearer is the leader of the labour party ...and led labour to where it is today.

And just where is that? Well and truly in the shit ...

Like its pretty hard to see much difference in the 2 major parties what with all the spin & the trade agreements both have signed us up to....

Haven't been able to spot the difference for 28 years ... except for the face at the front ...

Who cares!

There ALL in it for themselves and there corporate "$mates$", not us "serf's" or the country...the proof?
Easy!...fastest thing to pass a vote is ALWAYS there own pay rise!

...Bought and paid for by corporate "interests", the lot of them!

Yup .. that's why most of us don't give a rats arse ..

[BoristheBiter]

Haven't been able to spot the difference for 28 years ... except for the face at the front ...

and the arse at the back.

[Banditbandit]

And sometimes the arse out the front too .

[oldrider]

Why do they need a leader ... they are not going anywhere!

[Naki Rat]

Like a poll on Kiwi Biker will influence the Labour caucus.

And really, who cares? The Labour Party is visionless and directionless. If the Greens wanted to they could easily make a play for the disgruntled beneficiary vote that Labour stalwarts think is theirs of right.

All it will take is for National to lose a few seats in the next election, which is very likely under current performance, and the Greens will hold the balance of power in New Zealand. Though if Labour can't get its shit together the Greens might have a shot at being the opposition. When (who ate all the pies) Brownlee is rumoured to have stated (at about the 12:00 minute mark) in a closed-door meeting that the public won't worry about a bit of environmental degradation once economic growth picks up he is essentially throwing votes to the Greens. Just another indication how much off the mark in terms of public opinion the current government is!

I don't like Brownlee but he's correct. When people are feeling worried about their jobs and their families, they put aside nice lofty ideas like protecting the environment. It is human nature for us to focus on today and let the future sort itself out so in that sense the govt is very much in touch with the people.

You are right about the Greens: they are becoming the official Opposition. Good on them at least they generate some fresh thinking and new ideas.

[slowpoke]

National: people (and corporations) can just help themselves
Labour: want to help the people, but have absolutely no idea how
Greens: fuck the people, it's all about a pretty planet

We are soooooo screwed.............
