I did notice this. Did anybody else note with amusement that Labour dropped their support for it as soon as it was no use to them?

Or they're no longer under Helen's thumb, but in reality probably a combination of both.

Don't underestimate Bradford. She may not appear too bright up front but remember she did get her so called 'anti smacking' bill into law in front of considerable opposition.

She is a street fighter and comes from that background with a proven track record.

Have not seen much of her to date but if she does become co-leader expect her to give both Key and Douglas a hot poker up the arse.

Sorry young lady, but there's nothing good about Sue Bradford polluting our air while stealing our oxygen.

The Greens are a political irrelevance. They're little more than a bunch of hysterical spoilers and wowsers who don't know how to have fun and are hell bent on ensuring that nobody else has fun either.

Agreed, in fact global warming is one of the biggest cash-cows of our time, IMO it's a farce, but that's not the issue at hand.

Lol, yes, if that revolting, filthy, disgusting moley pile of filth becomes a co-leader I will not be impressed....

I think there should be a dress standard for MPs, they bloody get paid enough to look the part, could you imagine what would happen if I (or you reading this) turned up to work dressed like sue? I was charged for not shaving in the NZDF, and earning a massive $26000 gross.....puts things in perspective does'nt it? And I was hardly representing N.Z.....

When you signed up for with the military you signed away your civiilan rights to look and dress as you pleased.

As for representing NZ that's a 'sticky' one. I would argue that you would have been as a member of the NZDF but I am open to persuasion on this.

Oooh yes, let's choose who should run the country based on their wardrobe! Has anyone seen Simon Power recently (for that matter has anyone seen him ever?) The next time he shows up in his pale blue checked shirt and striped orange tie, I think I'll scream!

Actually I loved the white blouse Metiria Turei was wearing on the TV news this evening. She should get the job just because of her blouse. Or she could just give it to me (the blouse, not the job).

Worked for Winston Peters.

People might take the greens more seriously if they had policies like blaming the Jews
