I wonder if Judith Collins was feeling the heat about getting rolled? I think she certainly will be now.
Simon Bridge has been demoted and relieved of his portfolio responsibilities.
Leader Judith Collins says it follows an "allegation of serious misconduct" relating to his interaction with a caucus colleague.
"The case relates to comments made by Mr Bridges to a female caucus colleague at a function a number of years ago," Collins says in a statement released Wednesday night.

Another little trick from Collins' bag of dirt? Has Slater attacked Bridges yet?
I do have other cameras!

Yeah, you'd think she might have known about it for a while and was just waiting for the optimal time to announce it. Has a distinct whiff of "Collins the Politician" in action. No doubt she'll go down the "Look at me, look at the quick way I acted on the allegations, aren't I good" avenue.
Tova will be in a exuberant mood tomorrow.

Where is Peter Goodfellow in this particular debacle? Hiding in the wings yet again? When is that man going to front up for the ongoing long term mismanagement of members of his party? Or is that not his job...
The buck seems to go round and round and round in that world.

Here is what i was thinking, Slimy bridges as i like to nickname him as everyone has its nickname . The supposed allegations are from what we do know total nonsense, just like as if i was to get sacked for writing that nickname of his. However, i do see they do need to get rid of him as he will lower the chances for national to win the election. I personally voted for act because Seamore said to a kid never trust any poletitions. That alone is reason to vote for the party that guy stands for. Judi collin Did say a lot of stuff that would get voters if the election was next week. Pointing out flaws and solutions how national would do it different. So that guy has to go as he is a true lawyer slimeball, in my personal opinion. I dont know if this is going to help judi doing it this way however. Because.. This tactics is what i would consider not to vote for my self.

Stocked up pop-corn coffee at the ready JC will still be leader until Tuesday
as that will give all contenders to lobby over the weekend.
Mean while Labour sneaks through bills on the quiet well played Labour

I saw this news last night and couldn't believe anyone in her position would think that ploy was a good idea!
Awful woman and she has to go now.

Most likely interim leader for a week or 2
Shane Reti most likely will serve this roll

Ah yes, of course she is - & if we believe that, we'll believe anything!
I really didn't think she'd ever be rolled; I was sure she'd have something on every member of her party, courtesy of the grubby fingers of Cameron Slater.
I suspect Luxon will be slotted into pace sooner or later - not sure just what it is but there's something about him I just don't much like. Maybe just that he's a politician.
in order to be old & wise, you must first be young & stupid. (I'm still working on that.)
