armchairadmiral 264 Posted June 16, 2020 Report Share Posted June 16, 2020 My circle of friends (quite a few) who say they voted for Winnie last time and never again. For my take he's done it to NZ for the last time. The rabbit he'll try and pull out of the hat this time will be a soggy marshmallow stale easter bunny !

Bugger all people have any idea what that means, let alone how to pronounce it. So, cause they are National's lap dog, they get pidgeon holes as off on the far right. I think that is where Rodney Hide took them with the big law and order BS. I actually think Act has taken Nationals votes... And Labour have taken NZF's... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It's alright Lateral, politics is still safely contained within Smalltalk. It will undergo a 14 day quarantine before emerging from smalltalk and transiting any other forums on the board. And the good news is, with a certain member on holiday, it appears we can have a constructive, civil and interactive discussion in an adult matter exchange views and ideas, and possibly respect others point of view, even when in our (my) view they are plainly wrong... which is this crazy concept I always thought forums were for....

I would say that Obama was indeed on the right, pro-corporate, side of the US Dem party.

AJ Oliver 106 Posted June 18, 2020 Report Share Posted June 18, 2020 The ACT policies are clearly stated and well written - there are things to agree with. But what happened to privatization? Did ACT drop it as an issue? I did not see it here . . https://www.act.org.nz/policies Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The big T 14 Posted July 22, 2020 Report Share Posted July 22, 2020 So Seymour had a relationship with a press secretary for National - this is an absolute disgrace and Seymour should be fired!!! 😃 Looks like the election will be very light on policy this time around as the poli will be played, not the policy.
