Labour / NZ First Government

The only party leader who ever motivated the masses in Dunedin enough to fill the town hall was Piggy Muldoon 'cos the students popped along to heckle and get insults hurled back at them. Great sport that was!

I've got one... I remember attending a New Labour Party meeting in Dunedin in about 1989 after Jim Anderton (leader) went out on his own. Chris Trotter was the MC, played his guitar and sang The Red Flag. Hall was packed and over 200 (including yours truly) signed up.... we were joining the revolution.

Do you look back fondly on that impressionable young mite? Or do you wonder what the hell was I thinking? Genuine question. It's interesting to reflect back on our younger selves.

Look back fondly.... I did a lot of things in my youth I wouldn't do now... but dont regret. I try to bear that in mind when discussing politics with my university age Green voting daughters ��

Clare Curran and David Clark, neither one has done any favours for Dunedin. It doesn't seem to matter. The voters inexplicably stick firmly to Labour. They even had Brian MacDonell for twenty odd years, and he did absolutely nothing ever!! With a change to electorate boundaries there is a possibility that the new Taieri seat may give National a look in. Not so sure about the new seat just called Dunedin. Clark will hang on there. NZ First candidate won't figure in the election. I can't think why Jacinda would make much difference by visiting those electorates. The only audience she would attract would be old age pensioners who are died in the wool Labour voters anyway.

The 1975 Muldoon town meeting. I attended with two mates, great political theatre. Unfortunately had a substantial fine (by 1975 standards) attached to my 1968 Austin 1100, having parked illegally in Smith St

Wow, your '68 1100 was only 7 years old. Almost new. You had to be from the ruling classes!

Don't be too sure - might be still driving it.

The gutless and shameless one got his just desserts today - passing the buck was not a good idea and he definitely screwed himself up.

So have I got this right, the bloke who is responsible for the running of our education system is now also responsible for the running our health system. That seems like an awful lot of work/responsibility what does everyone else in the red team do?

Frankly the really worrying thing is that if the blue team were running the place I am not at all confident that a similar outcome wouldn't occur.
