National - FFS!

This is part of why MMP govts are preferable:

Let's hope we never have single party governments again. The last one was based on trust and to their credit they did a fairly good job being moderate. Though it would be unwise to rely on that without having a leader who can be trusted in the same way.

Todd whoever got the numbers he reckons

Caucus meeting brought forward to Friday.

At least Todd will get the China seal of approval

[Marilyn Munroe]

Hopefully Ximons successor will be more wary of China offering to fill his rice bowl. History has shown cosying up to one party party states has often resulted in situations which are not necessarily to the advantage of the person doing the cosying.

Potential leader ? Not so sure. Have not had good reports from a few I know who work(ed?) at AIR.

Reminds me of Jonathon Coleman tied the DHB's up in toxic knots and teflon talked around the waiting lists and health issues and screwed down funding and leaky building issues.He left when Labour won and immediately got head hunted by private sector imo. Unliked but successful in saving expenditure. Todd gives National a chance in the following election bridges is poison atpit.

Nothing of substance, politics for politics sake, avoiding answers;Bolger did it better and im sure theres a guy behind Muller (who got breathless) operating the arms with hands in sleeves. He better get better quickly and come up with some actual policy to boot. Unlike amy adams who knows she is taking one for the team imo this guy is no better then Bridges and really is cannon fodder for Luxon to step into the breech post a landslide loss at the election.

Opinion of a Labourite who thinks that Cindy's bull dust is star dust!

It was pretty underwhelming... the slight lag and Jack Tame talking over him didn't help. Much poorer performance than his speech on Friday.

Was disappointed to see him and Nikki Kaye getting sucked into the identity politics today... media never happy until every imaginable permutation of sex, race, age, hair colour, etc. represented. TM needs to channel a bit of Jordan Peterson.
