National - FFS!

[moka]

Whatever the colour of your politics, cant help feeling Judith Collins needs and deserves more loyalty and support from her MP's.
She inherited the leadership at the worst possible time, when things were an absolute mess & has done an excellent job salvaging the campaign, much better than expected.
Whether agree or not with her style of politics, she's highly competent with strong debates & media performances, but the continual mistakes, missteps & undermining from her own MP's, so unstabling & damaging.

I agree Judith Collins has done a much better job than expected. The problem is with the party. National have too many factions and they don’t have a shared vision of what they stand for. There were three very different leadership styles and values with Bridges, Muller and Collins.

Interesting that they did not have many policies on their website a few months ago, which really surprised me. Act had policies, and they knew what they stood for. National were wanting the public to tell them what they wanted, and then they would make policies and promises that would get them votes. So reactive rather than proactive. They have lost their way.
Also National has lost so many competent and experienced MPs recently because of this divisiveness.

Grow a pair, mummy’s boy.

Why you continue to embarrass yourself is beyond me - its a shame because on the shares side of things you make a bit of sense but when it comes to politics you just make a goose of yourself.

Moderators finally doing there job - don’t think so they have let the raving lunatic have run of the forum throwing petty insults right and left - can’t imagine knowing someone like that in real life thankfully

Looks like it.
A few posts a step too far.
Peace and rationality at last.

All you subservients have to know who the alpha is, hahaha

I agree boysy. What a relief to come on here and find there are no ranting abusive posts. Its a shame it has taken this long as we have lost a number of people who had a valuable perspective to share but have stopped posting because of his personal attacks. I hope they came back. I look forward to some healthy constructive posts going forward

National seems to be in full swing of mis-information.
After Ngaro's false accusation on Twyford, Judith still following the line that a vote for Labour or Greens will bring in a wealth tax we have National saying that a road in Otaki will be scrapped under Labour even though they have budgeted it and engineering work is underway.
Despicable.

Well, looks like voters have this time the choice to either pick a Leader or to pick a Misleader.

Should be an easy choice ... my money is on the Leader;

Sad though to watch how National degraded from a once respectable and responsible party into a bunch of dirty politickers, though some might say they always have been that way.
