I'm interested in NZ politics from a distance.  The National Party hasn't exactly done themselves any favours with three  leaders over the last four months.  Economically it's probably the election no-one wants to win.
The media would have us believe wonder woman Cindy will win comfortably.  Is a NP win possible?

Great ,positive and decisive first media conference,interlaced with good humor,and not woke. Breath of fresh air.
And hopefully,just maybe will save us from the potentially coming economic downturn,the likes of which this country and people have never seen before.

 Probably not A NP win but she is a massive improvement on what they’ve had. I voted labour last time, have voted national, green and act prior to that. ( not in that order probably).
I voted  Labour last time because my kids saw lot of good in Jacinda and were reasonably good at  persuading me and Jacinda has done well. Plus I could afford to send a vote labours way... a speculator by nature.
But hey according to online voter surveys I’m a natural Nat.. being a landlord, earning a reasonable income,  and also was a professional qualified economist in a previous  life ... so I understand there needs to be an economic return/ incentive for risk of investing as either investor/ business owner or employer.
I’d vote for Judith unlike her previous 2 predecessors because she is smart, very personable, highly economically savvy... that’s a rarity. Grant Robinson in labour is also economically very smart. But Judith is a credible alternative to that, possibly more free market/ business friendly.

Good to have two strong parties, Judith won’t win this time, but she’s a hell of a fighter. I like her. She is a good person and smart whereas all you read in media is past negativity ( orivida - she did nothing really that wrong but was chastised) and there has been continued left wing spin meant to damage her reputation and any real alternative to current government.

If you want to see real bad unprincipled politics then look into nz first and how they stimyed putting cameras on com boats.. don’t vote for them.

Judith will be a good,  if not great leader of National.
Not a NP party member by the way... might go See David Seymour speak Sunday at Bayview , Glenfield , do like him as well.

Just keep in mind that if national had been running this Corona virus response in NZ we would be in the same boat as america is right now.
Simon bridges would have opened up NZ borders right at the end of lockdown.

There is major economic strife coming and neither party can stop it. Nor can they magically make it better anytime soon.

Nationals strategy will be to try to open up the countries borders and it will backfire.There are not a hell of a lot of jobs they can magically create out of thin air either.A lot of the tourism sector is going to drop dead.

This election will be like a bad case of hot potato, which lucky party will be carrying the can when the a*rse falls out of the country economically.

Labour will win and carry the can, but not convinced the new Nat leader would espouse /do any different on that.
Keeping boarder largely closed to tourists and immigrants ( as per past regime) is economically sensible for any NZ govt for the foreseeable future. 
However, letting some appropriately quarantined people in where the economic benefits for country are significant at margins is likely to also appeal to any good government with right level of control. Already happening now to a degree.

To be clear my comment was a general statement to anyone and wasn't directed at you personally. Labour and national are both puppets. Both are under investigation by the serious fraud office... and that is just the tiniest tip of the iceberg.
One may be worse than the other i'd agree, but in reality the end goal is all the same and will be the same. The speed and the way in which they get us there is all that really changes. We get to vote which one is in government ok..... that does not then inherently mean we actually have a say in any of the decisions that effect us.

True... one can only hope they don’t do stuff or not do what they should and that then messes us (country) up.
I like and respect Judith, have met her few times. Jacinda seems cool under pressure and reacts well to bad situations but never met her. Grant Robinson I have met and was impressed, strikes me as competent.
Overriding thing for me is they make good decisions not bad ones... look at USA and other countries if want to see how that turns out.
Not into party or personality politics....but will vote for which team can do best. Politicians are hard to trust at best of times... that is an old adage.
Challenge for Judith will be pitching a credible team.

Muller didnt stand a chance.
 The 'new order' of the Nat party is very different from that of the key/ english/ brownlee etc, where where basically united in one direction.
 They left, Bridges takes over.. a neg critical rather than this how should be attitude, the party openly split into 2 or 3 factions of own self interest.
Bridges gets rolled.. had to be, Muller one of the other factions steps up... get sabotaged by another faction by going to media behind his back, others resign ...and further fumbling in the background.
Has no choice but resign.
 Now way can anyone lead such a situation without firing the whole party
 Party caucus gets a big wake up call now realising they just forced their leader out and a split party doesnt work at all.
 So that leaves Collins and hopefully the party has a wake up call as to what they have done.

Now if the caucau can manage to stop sabotaging each other, pull together in the interests of the country they may have a long shot.

There seems to have been a general pattern between successive Labour / National governments.
Labour generally leaving a fiscal mess and shooting themselves in the foot with silly ideas.
Remember Helen's shower heads? The brain drain during her tenure?
And the GFC.
National negotiated those troubled times with fiscal responsibility and job creation to the point that made NZ very attractive to live in.
I never liked Key either voted for him once to get rid of Helen.

What we are left with now is a lot of words, gestures and constant slogans and not much action. We were going backwards before Covid and now it is just way worse for a lot of people who have probably worked all their lives without losing their jobs.

I am going to say Labour and the Greens will win the election just on pure slogans. And I am predicting a dire bitter end to Jacinda's time as PM. More so than Helen's.

And if I could find it on here I predicted her rise long before she led the Labour Party.

Just another tyrant like the current PM. Until people stop seeing national as the opposition nothing will ever change.You're not opposition if you side with 99% of the communist b.s the other party puts forth like they do. Absolutely hilarious people still refer to labour as left wing and national as right wing. It's like the NZ version of liberal vs conservative names used in the US where the left are anything but liberal or for liberty, call them what the are leftists, socialists, communists etc. National these days are centrist/ left at best and labour have gone far far left.

It's like this - there's two kinds of people in this world, people who want to be left alone and people that won't leave them the f*ck alone.LOL
In all seriousness though it comes down to liberty and freedom vs control of others. The individual vs toxic group think.
I'd agree with the sentiment of national being better for the country economically than labour. That doesn't take away from both parties being a bunch of corrupt scumbags though.

Regardless of how left National has drifted these days, Crusher is still the top person for the job, no doubt about it. There seemed to be alot of people that would of voted for ACT if Muller or Bridges were still there.
This will at least calm down alot of there core voters... ( Boomers etc) and Give Cindy and her socialist regime a real run for her money.
I cant see Labour Losing though... Nz has not has a 1 term Government since the 70,s .... and with the amount of  brainwashed people out there today who are lapping up all the fairy dust . It will be a tough task.

I think Collins was in the team to oust Bridges but Muller was the fall guy. Collins has always had the leader position in her sites. She also was not fond of Bennett.
 
It will make no difference as the Nats and Labour have sold out to China anyway. Either of them are eager to get the road open with China again.

Re read that article and keep in the back of your mind who injected " five eyes" into the article... Rebecca Howard did.

Five eyes has nothing to do with the foreign minister making a statement supporting other countries foreign policy.

Making decisions based on what's best for NZ as opposed  to what where told (pressured) is smart.....

Thinking that an article from a business desk reporter @ the Herald gives you an insight into what our security alliance should be doing isn't

To be clear I never thought or implied a Herald story will have top level secret intelligence in the content. It is more a generalization of the alliance NZ is following, undecided flip flopping. 

I may add that generally there is no intelligence to be found in a Herald news storyLOL.

You are correct in your analogy of Collins.
 
I have met (hosted) her and Muller during a visit to one of our companies assets and she was very witty and great to chat with.  
She would also take no prisoners if the situation dictated such action.

So I see things fairly simply.
I'm not big in to politics.
If I vote national, and they have no chance... Then labour will get in cuddled up with the greens or Winnie.
If I vote labour, they might be able to govern alone.. And no crackpot green policy.. Or grinning Winnie..

But I just don't like Jacindas socialist underpinnings.. And I wonder how far we will slide into socialism and government control/surveillance.
And that may depend on how we choose to fight for our freedoms as this whole world is shutting down and forcing control and obedience on its citizens to combat this virus.

Then there is this new NZPP..
I will be watching..

Absolute rubbish TTM. Who are these fictional puppet masters? Don't pussy foot around tell us!

If I vote for Act, you vote for Act & one million others vote for Act, then they feature in parliament. 

If you or I registered a party for the forthcoming election and I vote for myself and one million others vote for my party I'm pretty sure my party will play some part in NZ's political scene. If one million vote for your party then you will feature in our political scene.

Would that make you a slave of the puppet masters?

Smudge, Act will 100% be getting more votes than the previous election. Probably a few more MPs in parliament than they have for a long time.
Issue is there's still too many braindead lefties who will vote for cindy the commie. There's also a heap of national voters who haven't figured out their being played yet and that both labour and national are both compromised. That isn't some fictional statement by me, TTM or anyone else on here either. Unless you've been living under a rock it's pretty obvious some of the power plays that are being made right now.

I would agree slightly with you.  Who do we owe the most or borrow the most $$ from???They are the ones pulling the strings.China is the master due to being our largest trading partner.   Without them who would lend us $$.

Fearing repercussions from our biggest customer and trading partner, Kiwi business leaders are holding their collective breath.

A recently leaked letter from primary sector business heads to Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern and other ministers asked the Government to tread lightly with China.

Exactly PJC. The communist threat never really went away like people thought it did. It's pretty obvious to see now they were just playing the long game. All that side of things is pretty apparent.

Look at the whole BLM thing that's going on, the leaders of which openly describe themselves as trained marxists, not my words, theirs. BLM (Antifa also) who is largely funded by Soros, who is buds with the Clintons and Bush's of the world. The Bill and Melinda gates foundation being one of the largest funders of the WHO behind the US and Chinese governments  (obviously no longer the case with the US government due to recent events).

Unlikely. Like most of national she voted along side labour so we now have warrantless searches of peoples homes and a whole heap of other communist type laws.
https://www.stuff.co.nz/national/crime/300056324/three-police-searches-after-christchurch-mosque-attacks-unlawful--ipca?fbclid=IwAR3M04osar48ySvWsPBno0ZkKrpg--_ObAMaEANw-9hBMfw5ctRmPeh4GrM" rel="nofollow - https://www.stuff.co.nz/national/crime/300056324/three-police-searches-after-christchurch-mosque-attacks-unlawful--ipca?fbclid=IwAR3M04osar48ySvWsPBno0ZkKrpg--_ObAMaEANw-9hBMfw5ctRmPeh4GrM
(these searches were prior to the law change, were found to be illegal, and guess what as usual no repercussions or punishment for those involved).

Judith was also one of the biggest proponents of the cluster f*ck changes to firearms legislation. Just because they aren't as far far left as labour doesn't mean they aren't loonie lefties all the same.
Actions speak louder than words though - Cindy and Judith can talk all the b.s they want, then do the complete opposite (while both parties are under investigation by the serious fraud office remember) and the mindless sheep who can't think for themselves will still vote for them. Says a lot about a heck of a lot of people as far as their morals and principles go.

It's not really a left / right thing though anyway. Like i've said previously it comes down to freedom and believing in the rights of the individual vs toxic group think, wanting to have control of what others say, think and do with their lives.

So who are you contemplating voting for fishy11 . Act maybe? Or not voting at all... because there’s no one to represent you, just wondering.

Yes, most likely leaning towards Act at this stage. Seymour is far more of a libertarian type than any of the others and the only one actually in parliament who has been calling out the b.s of the other 4 parties. Do i think Act are the be all and end all, no. With that being said i'd rather support someone who is for freedom of speech, firearms owners, property rights, business owners, is anti mass aerial 1080 and so on.
His track record of being the only one to actually vote against the other 4 on these issues in recent times speaks volumes as to how compromised the other parties have become. Both from local interests and international dodgy dealings already mentioned here.

I think NZ is f*cked either way and is only going to keep going further left if i'm being honest(i know pretty pessimistic) but if me ticking a particular box with a pen makes even 0.1% difference and means i wasn't one of the people who supported changes that destroyed what this country once was i can live with that.

....and before the usuals start harping on about how there's other countries that are far worse places to live than NZ, save it. We know, we've heard it all before. It's an absurd argument and solves nothing. I've spent enough time in 3rd world sh*t holes and other developed nations to have an idea, as have others.
Just because someone somewhere has it worse doesn't mean your problems no longer exist and you should just take it. Yes some kid in Africa doesn't have clean water. Yes a mother in the middle east lives in a war zone, but if you're house is on fire in NZ you might still want to tend to that. The problem's not going away because someone somewhere is having a worse day than you.

My thoughts as well Shaneg. I’m not boomer age but NZ is an almost unrecognisable country now to what we were.
Sure I accept change but we have radically changed.
We almost all bang on with the assumption there are only 2 choices that really have sway at the polls.
We keep thinking that if we keeping putting sh1t in we will eventually get gold out.

I am starting to think Act has something a bit different to offer and my pen is starting approach that tick box. Would love to see a majority in power that is not National or Labour in the not too distant future.

nz can afford socialism as long as it’s scaled. Nz will never be a super rich country due to resources, size, location etc. 
national tried and destroyed our environment we now got to live with. I feel labour has been infiltrated like National by big business that’s only focus is greed to heck with the life people have to live. Smaller parties are worth a look at, especially in a MMP environment. I must admit I never thought labour could hold that government together full term with the other parties included being so opposite. Credit due there.

this is a very good comment and i believe a major reason for the stagnation of nz in a social, economic and strategic sense

Agree with you guys on the 'kiwi ' attitude as compared to many other countries.
They have political divisions/ parties ,  at the end of the day it is about the bigger long term picture of their country.
 NZ we have a treaty that is about joint, not single 'ownership' of NZ. We have and attitude of , what can I get out of this rather than what can WE to make this better.
 The JFK quote comes to mine here
"Its not what your country can do for you, its what you can do for your country"

 Crusher... she has history, she has experience, doesn't take any nonsense.
We gets stuff done.
Got Seymour with Act..
I think there is a chance they could get to the treasury benches.

Cindy.. well kiwi build ... her throw money at child poverty.. numbers gone up, money soaked into beuocracy and treaty rorts.

Ha ha Smudge.
You may well be being facetious, however some of what you describe seem to be the only qualifications necessary to be on the front benches.
The only question the media seemed to ask on both occasions during the National Party leader changes was "what about diversity and how many Maori are in top jobs".
Nothing on policy.
So facetious or not, your comment is probably more correct than you intended.
Take care.

Or what has been the case in the past, and now.. the best photogenic gets the tick the moment the pen presses on the square of the voting paper..
Been a few pollies over the yrs never made it because of this sort of thing.

Before social media, upto very early days of internet, the vote went to the best achiever, who had the gift of the gab, and presented best on the podium.. in that order.

The Labyrinth



I met up with NASA Austronaut who had walked on the moon back in 1975. I was running a research station in the dry valleys Antarctica. I took him for a ride on a good old kiwi gnat to show him the Labyrinth. He said it was the closest thing to the moon he had seen on the earth. We used to get a lot of visitors arrive by Helo from Mcmurdo unannounced. Had the Commander of US Pacific Fleet turn up for lunch one day. They brought their own in brown paper bags. They had oranges, but not for long we soon got our hands on them...

Kitno that's because I eat gurnard not photograph them. They get filleted on the rocks to make the carry out easier. Not safe climbing cliffs with all your gear plus a heavy bag on fish. For the same reason I don't take a camera or phone because there's no reception anyway. I fish for my own satisfaction, so I don't mind if you believe me or not

Heck i don't always agree with everything TTM says, i don't agree with a bunch of your views either but isn't the whole point that we can share our ideas/ views and discuss them.
What's you're views on my posts in this thread for instance?
I mentioned something about BLM, Antifa and Soros all which can be substantiated.
What's your view on the whole Epstein thing? his death, Ghislaine Maxwell, the island, the royal family and Hollywood ties. Are there no local or overseas interests, people or groups with power who influence politics in NZ? Or am i a nutjob also? Is it all just fiction?

Here's one related to the government, politics and something Judith had a hand in along with the PM. Must be a few hunters/firearms licence holders on this forum.
Was the gun grab as it is, face value if you will. Or is it it part of a bigger plan /agenda?
Does anyone actually believe all the new firearm legislation was introduced to make us safer? How's that working so far? i see another shooting to add to this years list, 2 people shot last night in Ellerslie.
Thoughts?
