Two burning desires for Winston. So I'll concede. Next govt. will be Labour/Greens/NZ First with Peters as PM. Not good at all for the country, but it'll be amusing to say the least.
    Probably as amusing as the Trump presidency. Nothing will get done but the country will turn into the laughing stock of the world. I am pretty sure Trump will support Winston.

    However - as funny as it might be, I still hope we can save the country from this disaster in the making ...

    The country will be saved by a change of government - have a look at this commentary on John Key's abdication speech.

    Hmm - not sure I intend to spend more than an hour on Labours propaganda ... Obviously - backwards looking as usual.

    However - didn't they tell the Labour propaganda department that John Key is history? If Labour wants to win in one of the next elections than they should at least put their effort into throwing mud at people who still matter, if throwing mud is really the best they can do.

    Obviously - still better would be to come up with a positive forward looking plan for the country, but we probably shouldn't overestimate their capabilities ...

    OMG this quiz must be rigged

    Labour came out on top by miles ....... They are 82% aligned to my beliefs (whatever that means)

    Did it too and it says I'm more with NZ First than the others. Jon Snow will die again if I ever give my party vote to NZ First racist party.

    I have least in common with Mana, Aeotearo Cannabis, Maori, United Future and Greens. Not really a surprise !! But ACT was 70%, National 69% and NZ First 59%. Interesting. ACT basically strong due to electoral views

    Rod Drury tweeted the quiz says he sides with National - spose quiz has some credence then.

    LOL - looks like I am a pretty balanced voter despite Gareth seems to make the cut (never would touch him with a bargepole, alone vote for him) ...

    Here are my results ...

    Not very helpful, but the people calling me hard right (westerly) or hard left (Craic) can find some inspiration ...

    but than ... I typically support ACT, National and (sometimes and a long time ago) the Greenies - adding all of them up makes 166% - this is how it works? Right?

    Labour was my top too, joint winner with the Greens, but only at 79%. This must mean you're more of a Labour-leaning leftie than I am, W69.

    Interesting. I was Act, then National but what really surprised is TOP was third but a fair way back..

    P.S. Reason I was surprised with TOP being third is I would not consider voting for their policies.
