In 1990, Labour lost the election by a landslide. That year, they got a mere 35% of the vote, vs. National’s 47.8.
This year is looking like it’ll be far, far worse than that.
National is on track for a landslide election win with a 27-point poll lead over Labour.
On today’s Fairfax Media poll, Labour faces an [...]

Funny thing about Labour’s refusal to remove corruption in a timely fashon.
It gets worse.
So bad, that even the left is aghast. So I quote the ironic statements of Idiot/Savant here, because for a guy who was head over heals for the Electoral Finance Act, he sure hates the end results of a government who encourages [...]

Just watching Close Up talking about the Elim Christian school’s memorial service.
WhaleOil notes:
…I would have thought then that he would have the common courtesy to actually turn up for the memorial service of the seven killed in the canyoning disaster held today. Try as I might I just couldn’t see him there.In fact ther[sic] wasn’t [...]

The man who really nailed Labour’s reputation as the party of corruption is to stand trial.
Remember, this guy would be still in that party had he not suggested that he’d still say in parliament regardless.
After four weeks of evidence and 50 witnesses at a depositions hearing, District Court Judge Charles Blackie ruled a prima facie [...]

Well, I can reveal why we have issues with electricity supply. After browsing the internet looking for documents pertaining to earlier actions of this government, I found this.
I have also made it clear to the leaders of the electricity industry that I expect them to be more active in leading an effective response to the [...]

Ian reports that his book, Absolute Power, is the #1 non-fiction book in NZ.
Congratulations Ian, it’s long overdue and clearly desperately needed.

NRT doesn’t get it. Socialists don’t care, they just take money from those they deem rich, and give to those they want votes off. Then they call that caring.
But it’s not more caring than feeding children lollies every day of their lives.
Even more obscene is that Labour, the party that is supposed to care, has [...]

Last year, Idiot/Savant spat the dummy and turned off comments after posting this.
Yesterday in the House, National MP Jonathan Coleman Nick Smith abused Judith Tizard by implying she was a witch and telling her to get back on her “broomstick”. For those like DPF who seem to be having a problem understanding why this [...]

Helen takes one from Winston’s book.
Speaking on Newstalk ZB, Helen Clark said the recording from the closed policy session may not have been a Labour leak but could have been a media recording.
“Firstly, this was a closed session and normally journalists respect that. Clearly someone didn’t, there was a tape running. Secondly knowing that there [...]

The Electoral Finance Act, rort of rorts, just got that little bit more stupid.
No doubt there’s more to come too.
I’d quote, but everyone’s already seen it all.
What a joke.

Prof. Hodge made a comment at the last Electoral Finance Act protest.
He mentioned this act: the “Political Disabilities Removal Act”. No guesses who’s “Political Disabilities” it removed.
2. Power of certain associations to apply funds in furtherance of
political objects—(1) Subject to the provisions of this section, the
funds of any society may be applied in the [...]

Just heard on the news that New Zealand First has paid up. But then it sounded like they’d distributed money to charities instead.
I guess we’ll find out tomorrow.

Mike Moreu is a great artist, but he doesn’t get it sometimes.
Sorry Mike, but that’s the opposite of what Labour is doing. Yes, I know it’s hard to believe but they are in fact suggesting less regulation - for once!
Let’s hope it’s the start of a trend, and that the ones to continue it are [...]

To Mix a quote.
It seems to me there’s a simple choice for people to make: they will be able to carry on with a team that has done pretty well, and that has governed in a way that they like.
Or, they will be able to carry on with an known team with an unknown agenda, [...]

DPF posted today on the 9 to Noon politics slot earlier yesterday.
Which reminded me of something that Laila Harre said.
She said that if Labour were to win back the public, they must “take the risk of creating some points of difference with National”.
That’s a good idea, here’s a list of my own suggestions.
Steal money for [...]

Murray beats me to it.
Time of death for Clark the future fomer second woman PM of New Zealand… the instant she started talking about deporting the editor of the countries most left leaning paper by saying:
“No one’s talking about deporting the editor of the New Zealand Herald for goodness sake.”
You.just.did.
Thnxby.
Funny choice of words that - [...]

Hat Tip: WhaleOil.
One of the more obscure reasons I have a blog is so I have a place where I can put stuff like this for future reference.
Ah, the good old days. When Labour was on the right, and Helen still had reason to think she’d become New Zealand’s first woman PM.

Boy, this video is something. Can we get this onto youtube?
Update: Amost as good, I was able to pull screenshots.
The clip shows quite clearly that while the other guests were doing this….
Our PM was doing this. Looks like she might even have bought it along specially!
