Sacking David Clark, which is what this is - though sugar coated as "he resigned" which no one's buying - was all about doing the popular thing.
Which is what this Government is obsessed with: Being popular.
Here's the rub though – in getting rid of Clark they've revealed their other Achilles heel – lack of talent.
Let's do this - drive NZ into a nation of beneficiaries with Comrade Cindy's team of Incomparable Incompetents! :t_up:
I still don’t agree with you that Jacinda is cynical.
Cynical people are negative, judgemental and find fault with others and often themselves. They say things like:
Most people would try to take advantage of you if they got a chance.
Most people you meet succeed by stepping on other people.
He’s just in it for the money.
How much do you think politicians care about people like you?
Nothing goes right, goes to plan, nothing good ever happens to me.
Many people are cynical about politicians. We don’t trust them very much. We don’t believe them, and doubt that they will keep their promises, and sometimes they don’t. But we vote for those who make unrealistic promises because we hope they can deliver.
So I don’t think Jacinda is a cynical person. She had a high trust in people in lockdown, which is the opposite of a cynical person. So I still think that you are projecting your own cynicism about politicians onto her actions.

Agree 100%. Whether or not one supports Jacinda, she is not even remotely cynical.
As you say, many posters here are cynical - especially when it comes to politicians, and some are very obviously projecting their own cynicism onto her actions. Cynical people are often unable to step back and see themselves through the eyes of others. They have tunnel vision and seem incapable of seeing any perspective other than their own.
Labour needs to be careful where it goes with this. Everyone has something they regret saying at some point in their life. A certain PM even has a video getting down with the comrades from around ten years ago. I recall her passing it off as "being a long time ago". The cynicism of Cindy raises its ugly head again.
The cynical nature of comrade Jonu rises again and again.Has to be a case of Gynophobia for him and unbalanced. Same thing over and over and over .Prob since birth thats a long time. History and Herstory is the reality.Dinosaurs trying to keep the patriarchal system going. adapt or perish, that simple.
Good summary of winners & losers from David Clark's sacking.

Excerpt : "Ashley Bloomfield – Never before has a public servant managed to kill of their own Minister with such ease, David Clark is a lung, Ashley is the Covid Virus."

And what does this picture tell you about Comrade Cindy & her team of incompetents?

Garbage speech with no substance & no economic achievements from a cynical & grubby woman, only interested in breeding more beneficiaries & voter base.
So the only policy of substance she announced looks like it could pull support from the Greens. What the hell do they actually intend to do other than clean up waterways? (meant to be done by now according to their last election promises)
There is already doubt about the "shovel readiness" of their infrastructure spend, and if their delivery record on Kiwibuild and Lightrail is anything to go by we have more cockups in the making. What is in there to inspire even a die hard Labour supporter? I would genuinely like to hear.
When you're generally on the right track there isn't much of a need to do anything else.
Here is what happens when you engage in the REQUIRED diversity of IDENTITY POLITICS. People get promoted above their capabilities. Now Clare Curran is playing the victim card as the election campaign opens. I'm sure she has been through a tough time and I certainly don't wish her any ill, but she has to look at her old flatmate Cindy for the cause of her problems, not National.
The PM was so desperate to have female faces at the Cabinet table that she appointed two women that were out of their depth. Both had to be booted out by Cindy within 12 months.
Curran, who happily took a Minister's salary, a salary that reflects the huge responsibility the role entails, breached the ethics of the very Ministry she was in charge of....Cindy's wonderful Minister responsible for Openess and Transparency (something her government has repeatedly fallen short on).
What were National meant to do? Let her dishonesty around her meetings go unexposed. The PM could have sacked her immediately and saved her from humiliation in the House. That's on the PM, not the Nats.

Melissa Lee sums it up well at the end of the article. Also, having Jami-Lee Ross in your corner ain't a good look.
Labour has hung their "victim" out to dry all over again for their own purposes. This is the true face of Smiley Cindy. Cynical to her core. If they really cared about Clare Curran they would make sure she remained out of the spotlight.
