Speaker: An Open Letter To David Cunliffe, in reply to Matt Crawford,
Robertson's problem however is that he has hitched his leadership ambition to the the dead wood of the ABC clique
I don't know what else he could do though. Unfortunately the demands of getting caucus support and the demands of appealing to the electorate are almost completely incompatible. The Labour caucus is just so unrepresentative of the country, which is, um, the real problem here.

Speaker: Science and Democracy, in reply to Russell Brown,
(Quoting Ian Powell)
this is just nasty stuff on the part of Whale Oil and other
Just a thought, but I think it would be preferable if WO was always attributed by name not by monicker. "This is just nasty stuff on the part of Cameron Slater and others". The man should own his vile outpourings and be held accountable for them as much as possible.

Republicans in Congress could kill it just because they don’t want to give Obama anything.
Fancy finding myself cheering on the GOP. Scum. But in this solitary circumstance, useful scum.

or alternately a cave in on the TPPA in exchange for US support on our dollar and borrowing?
What evidence is there of any resistance to the TPPA on Key's part at all?

Interesting to see the different approaches: Harre studious indifference, Winston bantering for all he was worth. Winston made for better TV I think :)

It would be a good start...

It was Luke. Odd that it said I was replying to you, because I highlighted the sentence in Luke's post and clicked reply.
Sorry about that.

Patrick has developed a manner that is snide and unpleasant
I find Patrick Gower quite endearing, sometimes (not so much recently), but he always looks to me like his face belongs in the pages of Viz magazine.

Hard News: The humanity, in reply to Euan Mason,
The election was run in a presidential style
Absolutely so. National was almost totally invested in the "John Key's National" meme. NZ First has always been the Party of Winston. And the Conservatives had nothing except Earnest Colin Craig's Eyes.Those were the three parties whose vote share went up.
