    Greatest political own goal in history - Jami-Lee Ross!

    He was great as a scandal piece last year but latest revelations of him
    being the alleged initiator of the donations scam may not serve Labour as well.

    That's what Helen Clark thought as well - until she was turfed out of office.

    Difference of course is that Helen was dealing with a wily operator in John Key while Cindy is dealing with Simon.

    I thought Winston stepped down in that case.
    I don't think that resulted in the election loss - they lost for many reasons.

    Helen played like Cindy is going now - refused to stand him down until his infamous ‘NO’ episode and was found out when Owen Glen disclosed everything. Only then did Helen stood him down but by then, it was too late.

    Even the Tauranga electorate had enough of Winston and he was booted out, along with Helen at the elections.

    Prime minister is playing it right. If he hangs himself let him choose the length of the figurative rope himself.Fran is not alone.The 'weak" option is the way to go.

    He's done well has Winnie, been fired by 3 PMs, Bolger, Shipley and Clarke and 2 electorates, Tauranga and Northland. Jacinda would have been well advised to remember this before, in her desperation, she signed over the reigns of Governments to him in 2017.

    It's easy to run a Government "smoothly" by doing nothing. No big policy gains in any of the areas touted by Jacinda, child poverty, climate change, CGT, housing affordability including Kiwibuild, light rail and on and on it goes ! But apparently she's been doing something to try to get Facebook to stop posters that don't share her view of the World ! Good on her.
    Oh well, only a few more months left before she disappears into the sunset and Winnie with her !

    If you mean that Do Nothing = Let's Do This, then Cindy has done very well indeed.

    Simple example - Housing.

    The Labour Party hammered the previous government on housing, accusing them of presiding over a crisis of rising unaffordability, falling home ownership, and growing homelessness. Mr Twyford said housing policies were a social and economic disaster.

    Well, by their own measure, Cindy has just delivered a worse housing social & economic disaster in less than 2 years! No mean feat but that is what happens when we have amateurs and career politicians throwing our hard earned money at everything and anything without accountability, responsibility and certainly, without any idea!

    Let's Do This - come and suck the lemons on my tree, Cindy & ministers.
