Yep we are all going to regret getting National back in again, where are everyone's memories who voted for them?

Focused on their property values I suspect.

I find Gerard Otto heavy going. His heart's in the right place but he does tend to overwrite and clutter up his remarks with irrelevant asides, often deriding someone's appearance in a childish way. At least he seems to have stopped the arch "amusing" nicknames that made wading through his prose even harder.
Give me David Slack any day! He's succinct, heartfelt and very funny.

I think its going to be a good stable government and the good news is that winston Peter's and Dave Seymour appear to be getting on well with each other.

In 2017 there was no completed coalition agreement until 12 days after the election was finalized- we are on day 7.

I understand Chris Hipkins has signed up to do some reality TV to boost his image.
Though being on The Biggest Loser may not be the best option.....

Wasn't that a childhood saying? ' You're funny and your Mum.....'
I think Mr Luxon is getting a bit of a wake up call regarding herding cats. I almost feel sorry for him.
