    I bet that got the embers in your pipe flaming.
    If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

    ODT (Otago daily Times) looks as if it was all geared up for a Labour win FFS! - you would think they had won as it is presented.

    Bloody socialist paper tried desperately to rail something up on Taxcinda's fresh new tooth-fairy look! ......

    It also seems a pervesion of the principle of MMP - to stop one person from attaining power, but yet again, we have old willy Winston in a position to get his own way.
    its proportional REPRESENTATION not proportional POWERSHARING. So whoever stitches together the magic 61 seats gets to put whatever weak-ass legislative agenda together.

    Its hardly a hearty mandate though is it? And like you say, Winston in the box seat. He will extract maximum concessions from whoever he is with.

    Personally I am disappointed that the Maori party are not returning.

    What the hell are you smoking? Are there more than one Otago Daily Times? Because it is a Tory/conservative/rural rag all day every day. The owners are part of the tartan mafia.

    I was hoping for a labour win. The carnage would have been entertaining.

    Fortunately you have got Donald to provide your entertainment.

    Ditto. Cutting fucking cards is more likely to get you a government that a majority voted for than MMP.

    The prospect of a government that excludes the party the most people voted for is a fucking joke.

    Yes, me too. The education process around proportional representation was a fucking joke, left up to condescending interest groups led by arrogant twats who snarled and poured scorn on anyone who didn't get their particular point of view or grasp the basics of their proposed system. Bit like a motorcycle lobby group.

    Like a motorcycle lobby group in that the STV advocates would only allow solos whereas the PR people were happy to accept sidecars....

    I suspect that if we'd got STV, it would still have been situation normal - no-one happy.

    How long is it since you actually read an ODT? it's red as the old "Standard" that I used to have to go and get for my father back in the day!

    I voted for STV as well. - MMP was hoisted upon us by slight of hand IMO.

    The very worst option.
    It is just like a see-saw between two big options.

    Essentially a dictatorship that gets voted out every three years because the cunts in power have no clue what they are up to and can't smell the stench of their own shit.
