    Sort of confirms myself, FP and BlackPeter are slightly right of centre and EZ, w69 (Westerly and others yet to confirm) are far Left :-)

    Wow! I came out with Act on top followed by NZ First then National. I'm sure I could get a better result if I did it again. But I have the same problem with horses.

    My socialist upbringing and background showing through ....but I had thought I had become more of a radical centrist

    EZ - really? Did you listen to it before you posted it?

    I thought I might listen into it today while doing some chores, but I stopped when the loser talking was attacking John Key's family and afterwards proposed that more prime minister should finish their terms by assassination. This is just tasteless, has nothing to do with politics.

    This is the nastiest piece of c**p I've ever heard - even Trump (to my knowledge) never went down that low.

    Is this really you - EZ?

    Dumb, offensive, cowardly - I don't think any honorable person could support this drivel. If that's really what Labour is about, than they will need a long time to recover. This is clearly not what the majority of the NZ population would support.

    Hilarious and accurate, unmasking the teflon king.

    It did say for ADULT listening, and I listened to the first 15 mins and checked some of the rest to make sure it didn't sound too rough. I'm sorry if some of the satire was too close to the bone. It's partly for entertainment.

    But from my point of view, while Vinny Eastwood clearly engages in what Deputy PM Paula Bennett might still be calling 'hyperbowl', he's also extremely accurate in other ways. As Joshuatree posted.

    Politicians put themselves up onto these podiums, the least they can do is to be truthful when they are speaking about what they've achieved while in office. Which reminds me, John never did furnish those tax returns.

    NZF, Labour, National, and TOP between 70 and 60. Confirms my view that all of these parties have policies I can relate to. Which makes voting difficult.
    Have serious doubts about the relevance of some of the questions to NZ and therefore like most polls the results are questionable.
    I consider myself so far left I circle back to centre.

    Disappointing. I thought at least we might despite political differences still share some common decency. Looks though that decency is not that common anymore.

    Sure - politicians set themselves up as political target. If they can't stand the heat they should get out of the kitchen. However - pulling their families through the dirt? What have their kids to do with the job of the father? What the wife? And suggesting that an assassination might have been in order? You guys should really be ashamed of yourself - this is not fun.

    Not sure whether you are still able to see a political opponent as human being, but give it a try. EZ and JT - imagine that somebody is talking about your family and yourself the way this cowardly and dirty mudslinger talked about Key and his family. Would you like that? Really?

    No, of course he went too far too often, made some wild incorrect assumptions, might even be a conspiracy theorist. But many other comments I had to agree with wholeheartedly. From a site well outside mainstream, this is more social media.
