National - FFS!

[Balance]

Never trust Winston.

Karma at play.



Unfortunately, NZers are the ones who have paid dearly for his treachery.

Eg. $3 billion slush fund (Provincial Growth Fund) for Winston to play around with (price Ardern happily paid to become government) with nothing to show - but future generations of NZers will continue to pay the price.

Winston did more for the regions in only 3 years than National ever did (esp Northland).

Another good National MP in the making - learning dirty politics at the grassroots level
"Speedy, who could not be immediately reached for comment, is listed on this LinkedIn profile as Northern Young Nats deputy chair and a "retail sales representative" for Vapo, a chain of vape stores."

Karma at play.

Tremain has that one totally wrong - seems that Winston has come up with a foolproof, legal way to circumvent the donation laws.
It worked for them - no need for a begging bowl.

That’s so 2017 - Labour cleaned up in 2020 you may recall?

Yes they absolutely did, including many of the rural seats in the SI. All on the promise they would govern for everyone and in the midst of the ridiculous COVID brainwashing back then. I doubt Labour can rely on either of those 2 segments/issues going in their favour next year. In fact I don't think much at all will go in their favour next year, when much of the voting public has finally woken up to the shocking incompetence.

Yeah, let us know when national can stick to one leader.

If we bury Labour next year it will be a long time before they see daylight again.

Well they almost won in 2011 against popular john key.

Some commentators also thought david shearer would have won in 2014 if they stuck with him.

MMP is different from FPP =)

You also had gareth morgans party taking their 2.5% in 2017.

So what? Don’t get your point?

Not so fast - wait till your leader comes up against the PM - he might get well exposed.
