Wheres Winston?

And what in your imagination does it reveal?
Remember according to you I am a Labour puppet.

I reject the premise of that question.

NZ needs Winston as foreign affairs minister.

If not it's either Mahuta or Gerry Brownlee. Having a thumb in a suit is bad enough, but with gerry it's simply doubling down.

NZ First’s Winston Peters promises inflation-adjusted income tax brackets, tax incentives


Once every three years, strange awakening fellows dressed in suits and ties appear on the landscape promising everything under the sun in hope of snatching a glimmer of attention and the odd stray vote .. before rapidly departing for another three year deep sleep .. during which only low muffled snoring sounds can be heard

ACT categorically rules out working with Winston Peters and NZ First

ANALYSIS: After iteratively nudging the door shut to any potential coalition deal involving New Zealand First, ACT Leader David Seymour has finally slammed the door shut, turned the key, fastened the deadbolt and latched the door chain.

There’s no room for Winston Peters in any Cabinet shared with David Seymour.

If you’re Chris Hipkins, you’d argue it’s a moot point given Peters himself has ruled out working with Labour.

Not much love for Winnie First any more - stuck out on the end of a branch

Guess that's what happens when you play games, land everyone in the sh!t, and only make a showing every three years after a long hibernation

Karma delivered..

ACT categorically rules out working with Winston Peters and NZ First

There's a simple solution.. Act won't get any coalition deal but provide the votes to a NZ First/National coalition.

Act support is based purely on people not liking luxon and if they try anything, then a new election will be called where they will probably lose that tenuous level of support.

Incorrect. I don't give a damn about Luxon. I agree with ACT's policies and think DS is a good politician. Definitely getting my party vote.

I think your statement would be closer to accurate if you switched out Luxon for labour.

They were at 1% during simon bridges time (their typical long run average).

It's definately related to the weakness of National.

Ohh thanks for correcting me on how I and everyone else who thinks differently thinks! We had it wrong all along.

This time round its the weekness of the Labour/Greens. Its not entirely that people not liking Luxon (disc: I don't like him. Didn't when he was my boss too, buts that a different story). Though you do have a point to a degree also. Its people not liking the incumbents so much they see ACT offering more significant change
