Politics Continues…

Firstly, check out DPF this morning, he’s doing great guns at the moment. The video he’s linked to is absolutely classic. Note to self: when next in cabinet, do not ever participate in stupid looking dances. Also he links to this post, which makes some great points about Nationals behaviour re: rumours. Exclusive Brethren also…

Campbell Live & Close Up tonight

Watched Campbell Live, as they were promising interviews with both leaders. Then found Close Up were offering a head to head – think I caught most of it. Campbell Live got separate interview with each. Naturally, each blamed each other. Helen also got off a good shot about “big money” “buying policies”. Someone please tell…

And the Award Goes to

The award for “Almost Justifying The Unjustifiable” goes to… “Just Left” “These are not personal comments. Don Brash in person is mild mannered and inoffensive. Whatever he does in his personal life is his business. “ Glad we cleared that up.

NZ Politics Today

Whale Oil is right, the gloves are off. Labour has the cheek to say on National TV “stop the tittle-tattle, and call the dogs off”. They have already and Clark dismissed it.

Hey we are all sinners and guilty of slagging off I’m sure but Parliament needs to grow up! Soon the Maori party…

She has appeared increasingly irate at National’s tactics. But she didn’t authorise The Duck’s antics in exposing an alleged affair from…

The one after that, and the one after that.

The title of this is a quote from this story that appeared on the news in 2001, when National were looking, well, pathetic. “Not just the next election, but the election after that, and the one after that, and the one after that,” says delegate Louisa Wall. What really bothered me when this was reported…

Officially now a Member.

Just received my National Party member membership letter. This is serious – I’ve never been a member of any party at all. This in spite of being a political junkie for a long, long time. Like, there’s 30 people read DPF every single day and I’m one of those. Never thought I’d be a member…
