Could you please provide similar insight on the Labour hopefuls?
You're like the TMO, the games moved on 5 phases, Labour have lost power & are not the government anymore.

Nice try.
Or kick for touch. lol.
But some of us do want your wisdom on from whom we have been spared, as well as who to watch out for in the next tournament.
Perhaps it will help the stewards know who to scratch.

Fair enough .
I haven't really looked at Parties outside the new govt, & I only mentioned those two NZF MP's because they already have quite high profiles in the media & some controversy about their values/beliefs conflicting with their own Parties let alone fitting with National & ACT policies.
I mean, Tanya Unkovich, a member of the Nuremberg Trials Group, likening Covid vaccination to Nazi War Crimes & putting journalists & politicians on trial ! Crazy stuff.
and Andy Foster's support for Trans people putting him in direct conflict with NZF policies to restrict Trans rights, plus his leadership in the area of Co-governance in conflict with NZF & ACT policies !

When are we going to have a goverment.
I though Luxon was a master negiotiator and loved making deals (ie the NZ Trump).

It tarnished a good friendship for years afterwards & I never bet again.
I'm not about to change & start taking bets now.
Apart from that as I have repeatedly said, I don't think the coalition has a hope of lasting the full 3 year term.
If you're so confident of the coalition lasting a Full Term, why have you set a bar well short of a Full 3 Year Term?
Hipkins was only PM for 9 months & Kiri Allen Minister of Justice for 11 months & Jacinda was not much over halfway through her second Term before resigning,
Yawn.
Spare me your bleeding heart BS story.
You are so confident about the incoming government not lasting, right?
My $5k cash will be with a lawyer’s trust account the minute you sign the bet agreement. Likewise, yours will obviously be expected to be in your lawyer’s trust account. Transfer to take place upon result of bet being confirmed in the future.

Not sure that's fair.
Trump is a serial liar, don't think we can say that at this stage about Luxon.
For Trump its only about himself, while for Luxon the business does matter.
Trump is a clown, Luxon is a professional.
Clearly - this does not mean that Luxon is a good fit for the job (but we will see), nor that he will have an easy job at hand, but I think we should give him a chance.
If any of the three party leaders forming the next coalition is the NZ Trump, than this would be Winston.

From panda-nz, ignoramus Labour peasant/loser, who wanted Ryman to do a share buyback using more debt when the company was close to defaulting on its debt burden.

Winston tells Stuff to "naff off".
Love it.
The sooner the lefty media goes down the gurgler the better.

Remember - politicians are supposed to represent the people, and they have to report to them. Peters is only trying to avoid and to bully them. Like Trump.
Peters is neither transparent nor honest (he lied before). He is clearly more interested about getting the baubles than he is in delivering on any of his promises. And - he loves to bully the media. He will need a lot of attention.

To the contrary, I believe it us our left woke media who is on a slippery slope.
My perception of good media is any without a biased agenda.
If you BP can not see bias in our media that is your problem, not mine.
