Name for me, a 'good' PM, and why? - Oh_hunnihunni - 11-07-2025
Be interesting to see who you'd put at the top of the table...

Maybe if Chippy brings in a capital gains tax...

Getting rid of Labour's superannuation scheme was a real genius move, as well...

The man was smashed most of the time, so no not Muldoon. Though he was entertaining. And grew beautiful lilies. But according to Thea, power corrupted him...
Sad really. Happens to many of them.

I was young, but Kirk because he stopped conscription (a worry for me, because no fucking way...) and had a superannuation scheme that would've worked.

Big Norrrrrmmmmmmmmmm, oh dear, there goes me showing my age...
I am inclined to agree.

Unfortunately, he's slightly dead but I suspect Rod Donald might have done a good job if given the chance.
And I'd agree that Big Norm could have probably done well had he survived longer.
What we need is the Kiwi version of Jose Mujica...
