So are you saying the GCSB didn't illegally monitor Dotcom? No paranoia, fact.
I'm not the one who needs a warning about the PM Fungus Pudding, its girls with ponytails that need that.
But don't make an enemy of Key or he will use his private secret police to spy & raid.
Just ask Dotcom or Nicky Hager.
As seen in Canada and other countries change in government does happen when people want change
But Little seems to be able to break this 'metabolic cycle' ifJane Clifton is right in her recent piece in the Listener
Pity really - we need a change but there really is no credible alternative putting their hand up and saying we are the ones.Quote:
Our electoral system has a sustained and remarkably reliable metabolic cycle: parties win two, or more often three, elections before voters tire of them and change the Government. Past polling data, when measured against current trends, has a pitiless ability to provide early diagnoses of changes in that metabolism. And it’s suggesting that Labour looks set to muck up the whole cycle by being historically indigestible.
Maybe Labour lst their chance by not being brave and going with somebody like

Premature political obituaries are littered with historical examples where the opposite has occurred. As for National Judith Collins, Paula Bennett and Michael Woodhouse will not( and can not) tolerate the John Key show going on too long, its simply does not align with their political ambitions.
He will go, or be pushed in late 2016 early 2017. As much as this distresses his admirers it will happen. Unrealised political ambition is a toxic thing within parties, National is currently riddled with it. Watch this space.

You 're definitely right Sgt Pepper about lots of political ambition in the National Party. A shame that doesn't exist in the Labour Party.
