    Here’s Winston - saving his energy for the last few months of the election campaign?

    He must be pleased as they had to add extra seats at his campaign meeting in Dunedin!

    Politicians do not like a photo in the paper showing empty seats - so they generally put out just a few rows initially which gets the audience up the front, and as they fill up they add an extra row at the back- and keep adding a row at a time - so there's never an empty seat, and the opportunity to claim 'we had to add extra seats'.
    I was at that meeting and watched how they set out extra rows as the seats filled - carefully avoiding putting out any more until they were needed.

    Anyone else notice Winston’s shaky hands these days? Seriously.

    Election 2023: NZ First’s Winston Peters on biggest threat to its campaign


    “Now a number of you, I know, in the audience have already said to me, ‘Oh Shane, why did you fullas bloody hook up with Labour in 2017, the reason we’ve got the dramas in 2023 is because you breathed life into a coalition agreement led by Jacinda Ardern’,” Jones quoted back to the 70-strong crowd.


    Can you be trusted - Bro ?


    Did someone rock the chairs to wake up Winnie and Shane from their deep sleep for another one in every three years little wander around ?

    Sounds like Jones knows full well the exact reason nobody should ever vote Winston First ever again. Him and Winnie threw New Zealand under the bus.
