How many National MPs does it take to remove a Maori seat?.
Two, one to distract him and the other to pull it away as they sit down. -
Steve: Cock up trumps conspiracy, moron trumps malice.
Damn it Craig, you've been using my Occams razor on your legs again, haven't you?

Craig, I despair of you sometimes. Labour has always said it would keep the seats as long a Maori want them and that is the position "Entrenched" in their, unlikely, deal with national.
Anycock, John Key has said "National's plan to help people who lose their jobs because of the international financial crisis could be paid for with money generated by the bank deposit guarantee scheme."
excuse me, WHAT?
So, he is saying "the bank deposit guarantee scheme is a money making enterprise as there is no way our banks will fail" or what?
And, he will use this money to pay people who have lost their jobs because of the "Credit Crisis" and no other reason?
Yes he said it. "The payments would be part of a wider move by National to help people get back into the workforce.Any payment or support would be targeted and carry a time limit."
What bollocks. Excuse me Mr. Money shuffler, we already have the unemployment benefit. Are you saying that you intend to remove that? or are you saying that you will pay the guy extra if they worked for a failed finance company? SHEESH!
What is it with this guy? "I wont borrow for Tax Cuts, I will borrow for infrastructure instead" DICK!
The money for bank deposit insurance is for, well deposit insurance, GEDDIT? The banks will not fall over and no jobs will be lost as a direct result of the banks falling over. Will you pay me extra because one of my clients can no longer afford my services because they invested in a shokey, speculative property development?
Be honest with us Jonkey, if that is in the least bit possible. You really have no clue when it comes to finance do you. You think that if you shift the stuff around enough you can use it twice, three times?
Oh yeah, you used to do that for a "living" didn't you, you knuckle dragging numbskull.
You and your kind are the problem, not the answer. -
Toto is an example of a band that was not so much hung up on Live performance (perhaps initially....or perhaps they were simply trying to pay the bills whilst trying to make being a musician work for them).
I think the world is a much richer place for the likes of Toto. Though maybe I'm talking through a hole in my arse when I say that there's a proportion of musician's who don't enjoy the performance component and using Toto as the example.It was the song "Africa" that they didn't like playing live, it just didn't fit into their set, they were as heavy rock band. The fact that they were a "one hit wonder" was ironic the didn't want the song but they sure as hell wanted the money.

Someone pointed out to me the other day "Have you noticed how many bands are reforming?" I thought "Yup, time to go back to work, (free) lunch is over.
Consumers 1 Producers 1
Best of three? -
I don't think that is, exactly, what SM is. That system relies on a plural vote, one member plus one list AFAIK
In a situation where you live in a safe seat for party A you may wish to be represented by party B nationally but also want your local MP who, regardles of party affiliation, is your brother in law (no, strike that) a really good person. -
Problem is Rob that you keep singing the same song, you have to sing a new one that no one has heard before because songs are so easy to sing and they lose their flavor on the bedpost overnight . If I want to hear you sing it, then I will be glad to pay. ;-)

So. Has Dunne done his dash?
