If National wins ...

Don't recall cows on the roof though.

The cows probably don't speak possum so weren't allowed in on the game.

A few years ago I used to frequently stay in a tramping hut where the possums made a game of jumping on the roof and sliding into the water tank. Quite a few drowned. The water tasted fine - until we worked out what was happening. Don't recall cows on the roof though.

Okay got that. Those drowned possums are the Labour/Greens. And the cows, if only they can get to the roof, is the Party of Winston

Not sure about that, but when Shane Jones officially joins the team NZF will be more of a force that's for sure.
I can see The Greens eclipsing Labour in the coming years.

It won't happen until after the next election. But I think Winston first will beat them both to become the main opposition party.

It must have been a fairly poorly designed hut FP if possums could slide into the water tank.
No doubt due to government cost cutting the DOC budget .... ��

.......along with Stuart Nash defectingvas well?

Labour seems to be self destructing .....no funds, infighting, power struggles and most other things. And what the heck they done with my mate Matt

Betcha National strategy to prolong the agony

.......along with Stuart Nash defectingvas well?

Hadn't thought of that one. I thought he'd be hanging around for a crack at leadership of Labour/Greens. Unless he's decided to leave that to Kelvin Davis.

Amusing the way you guys just make stuff up.

Personally I think we'll all need to get a lot greener in future, so whoever sides with the Greens now, will be the smartest in the end.

EZ - make your mind up if you are going to accept that Chief of Staff job that's going at HQ

Seems to a lack of staff at HQ these days - and only a year out from the election. Not good

Nearly 96,000 voted for the Conservative Party in 2014 - a fraction under 4%. The party leader got nearly 5,000 votes in Eastern Bays

We had a close call with what has turned out to be a real sleazy sort of character
