    Well there is a reason - politics. They would be bound by the collective cabinet responsibility and not be able to criticise.
    Will never happen, unfortunately.

    In both cases the deal is negotiated. Not all that different.

    But not the same - Balance said they were in a coalition - they aren't!

    Nothing could possibly ever pass Balance's lips that wasn't honest, true, accurate, and even fact checked! And it goes without saying - totally unbiased.

    Cindy can twist and turn her words for all she wants - it looks like a duck, walks like duck and quacks like a duck so we all know it is a duck.

    Like her plea to all to practise kindness while she stood by and allowed Trevor Mallard to knife a hapless person's career and livelihood down the drain, but she has the hypocrisy to call the outcry against Trevor 'politicking!'.

    You are the one who twists words.
    You suggested that Jacinda would have to explain the actions of the Green MP as they are a coalition partner.
    You are wrong - they are not a coalition partner so no need for her to explain anything. It is up to the Greens to do any explaining (if required).

    I was talking to someone yesterday who voted for Cindy and previously generally thought the sun shone from her. My friend has noted the bullsh** around the vaccine roll out and for the first time has woken up to the fact that Ardern can't be trusted. I suspect there will be many around the country coming to the same conclusion.

    Over exposed and carrying a Cabinet of incompetents, the cracks are showing.

    The original “be kind” message was addressed to those on social media attacking those who had the misfortune to have contracted covid.
    Since then it has been twisted into some sort of political attack. You should know with your constant and boring repetition of past topics.
