National - FFS!

[Balance]

Nats Maori representation takes a further dive with Simon leaving.

So what?

Count how many Maoris MPs Labour have and they are all useless!

As for their Green partner, here’s a Maori MP behaving like the hypocrites the Greens really are :

What terrible timing!
Why on earth would Simon Bridges announce his retirement today, taking the spotlight away from Chris Luxon & the Cost of Living Crisis ?
One of the few remaining sharp political brains in National, will be a huge loss to the party, though I don't agree with his ultra conservative social views which are way out of step with most voters.

Nikki Kaye, Amy Adams, now Simon Bridges all bailed, while sadly Maureen Pugh & Judith Collins have outlasted them all.

'Wishing to spend more time with the family', isn't that what they all say just before the real reason comes out?
As someone said, after all the sh#t he's been through, it seems insane to quit now.
And just after releasing National's economic policy, & with a supposedly united caucus?
And the timing, you have to ask whats going on?

Give it another month or two and it will probably all become clear. I wouldn't read anything into it politically. I think it's much more likely he has been offered an opportunity outside of politics that was too good to turn down, after pretty brutal last few years for him professionally. Agree his intellect will be missed but also gives room for promoting the next generation, in ample time to develop and promote next year's election policies.

National FFS!!

You ok, JT?

You seem hysterical. Must be the poll numbers getting to you.

Relax - the toothache which is the spinner woman Cindy will be gone soon enough.

Roll on 2023!

Perfect timing for Luxon for Bridges to resign :

Fascinating how Labour posters here were rubbishing Bridges and are now exclaiming what a loss he is!

The hypocrisy and desperation of Cindy’s devotees in action - just like the consequences of Labour’s pro criminal policies are there for all to see these days.

It's clear which way NZers want the country to turn to :

I nominate Unbalanced to be the new National candidate for the Tauranga by-election.A dead cert for doing a "Jamie Lee Ross"

Suppose it’s too late or no other options to replace Luxon as leader

He is becoming an embarrassment with some of his statements …..and he’s useless as at question time.

Trying to like my team but jeez
