  • Hard News: Time to Vote,

    NZ used to have reputation as a place that believed in "fair play". I wonder if some of what we've seen here is that fair play spirit working to defend the local boy against the attacks of a suspect foreigner.

    The number of Labour list MPs is dropping lower and lower. Who's going to miss out? Jacinda?

    Time to stop voting and start crowing or cowing.

    A clue as to my opinion: Juliet in funky choke hold (4,4,3).

    (been sitting impatiently on that for an hour or two...)

    Why, I ask, is the Sky Tower illuminated in Blue?

    Probably for the Blues :-p

    Self censorship. Finest kind.

    To be legal and paraphrase the electoral commission:
    I voted a couple of days ago.

    Do we have to pick a side: surveillance is here and it's a bad thing (IMP), surveillance is a really good thing but we don't do it here, oh no (JK).

    The Jakes of this world act as though they don't know what's going on, don't need to know what's going on, but they're all for it anyway. Well Jake et al., that's the very opposite of an "informed decision".

    People who make uninformed decisions are, not to put too fine a point on it, dangerous.

    Oh the irony.
    Vote for a Labour candidate in TeTaiTokerau to kill IM and boost the chances of a coalition of the right.
    Vote for a National candidate in Epsom to kill ACT and boost the chances of a coalition of the left.

    the concept of "Team Key"

    All the literature that has made it to my letterbox in the last month looks like it has been through a "s/National/John Key's National/g" script.

    John Key's National Government. John Key's National-led. John Key's National Party. The John Key's National policies.

    They threw every single egg into the same basket, that's fo' sho'.

    I didn't listen to the program this afternoon, but was Franks scheduled to be on today's Panel anyway?
