The 2017 Election Thread

I've stayed out of the recent debacle - mainly because atm it's premature to comment - and whilst there is a hint of delicious irony at various actions (and inactions) - lambasting a group, based on the actions of an individual does not sit well with me.

Lest we end up the hypocrites, we claim to deride.

That's hilarious considering your stance on the PM's pregnancy.

I love the smell of irony in the morning.

What exactly is a Young Labour Camp?

Is it a place where people under 20 sit around holding a picture of Michael Joseph Savage, singing The Internationale and discussing policy?

Mine moved out....then moved back as Auckland is fucked thanks to an open door immigration policy and I'm guessing far too much compliance and building methods from olden days.
The house across the road has taken over 14 months to build and that's with Chinese builders too.

The premature conclusion that you jumped to was that her pregnancy will adversely affect her doing her job.

Which it almost certainly will, starting with time off to give birth.

She's perfectly entitled to time off to give birth.

I never said it would definitely affect her, only that it could affect her. And it would appear to some that suggesting this was some form of Heresy.

Plus there is a huge difference between speculating on an event that has already happened and speculating on possible outcomes in the future.

Not being at work so as to give birth = not being able to do the job for that period = adversely affect her doing her job
Time will tell if there is more.
