New poll delivers hung Parliament

[king1]

This latest poll seems to suggest some New Zealanders are suffering buyers remorse...

A grinding recession and racial tensions have ended National's honeymoon with voters, who would deliver a hung Parliament if an election was held today, a new poll shows.
The Post/Freshwater Strategy poll shows National slipping four points since the October 2023 election.
Labour has gained four and leader Chris Hipkins pulls ahead of National's Christopher Luxon as preferred prime minister, meaning the race for 2026 is very much alive.

At long last, some good news re the running of the country.

Got to get these tight arsed, penny-pinching, power tripping, goal-driven businessmen back where they belong, running small highly competitive businesses against each other, effectively removing them from the halls of power and back into the business economy where they can do the least harm to the rest of us ordinary citizens as a group.

We need leadership who are warmhearted, with enough experience and intuition of life to know that life will abide over the generations and as such we should all be living good lives in the bosom of our over resourced under utilized, uncrowded young country which has so much potential for the future and doesn't have to be exploited as much as is humanly possible in the shortest amount of time.

But - they don't want run businesses competing with each other - they want to run cartels, so they can jack up prices at will, and make themselves extremely rich...

Remember during Covid how we all wanted to 'build back better'?

Yes but that is what Government is supposed to do, GOVERN.

That means any antisocial behaviour will be curtailed and brought to a halt. Business is not something sacred it is just what some are forced to do to stay busy because they can't relax and enjoy their leisure time.

It's the businessmen that contribute to global warming the most in the past and up to the present day.

Running machines to accomplish something is antisocial behaviour, and contributes to global warming, it needs to be cut down to a minimum.

Well, if anyone expects me to go back to life without a vacuum cleaner or a washing machine, they can forgeddaboudit.

Or my lovely scoot.

It's too late. Climate change is coming, ready or not. In fact it is debatable whether the biggest challenge in the next ten years witl be climate, nukes, or AI.

My money is on AI.

Bliss, absolute bliss, the b'stards couldn't do anything.

Maybe we should prohibit  business people from becoming politicians....? 

Going by present & past experience with business people in charge they appear to be entirely unable to distinguish their derriere from their elbow, or do anything whatever which benefits anyone than other themselves & business people.
