MPs sending out dick pics now, great stuff guys.

Can't be dick pics. Apparently pics are not of him, so unless the owner of the dick has tattooed his name on his member* then they ain't dick-pics.

*not to be confused with member of parliament.

Fair enough, I put 2 n 2 together and came up with 5.

You should stop using that silly word "woke". Just because your mate Mike Hosking loves to use it is a great reason not too - you can be better than that Balance!

Actually used by Comrade Cindy’s kingmaker Winston Peters to describe her! 😁

Guess she is in good company huh?

I agree with Barry Soper it is unacceptable for Judith Collins to blame mental health for Andrew Falloon’s departure.
The first anyone knew of his demise was a statement from his office mid-afternoon, telling us he'd made a number of mistakes and he apologised to those who had been affected.
Five minutes later, Collins fired a grenade into the mix, putting out a statement telling us he's suffering from significant mental health issues.
It's been confirmed Falloon sent an indecent photo to a university student.
To muddy the mental health waters in this way is simply unacceptable.

Probably one of the mob who like gender quotas, and the like, and want ability, experience and talent pushed to the back of the queue.

Term limits in a democracy as with the limiting the term of the President of the USA is anti-democratic. It could be third term Obama instead of first term Trump at the moment. The US electors were denied that option.

Obviously you need a bit of a history lesson & I mean that in a helpful way.
George Washington the first President of the US served only 2 terms when he was so revered he could have served many more. Why?
Because the US had just separated from England & the contemporary way of ruling at that time in England & much of Europe was monarchy's which at that time were all powerful & anything but democratic.
He wanted to return power to the people in the new Republic & so by setting this precedent of limited terms, would avoid the possibility of the establishment of an undemocratic monarchy in the US.
If you consider for a moment the situation in Russia & China at the moment where both current leaders have changed their constitutions to allow themselves to become lifelong leaders with few checks on their power, which is dangerous & anything but democratic.
Hope this helps.
