Promise a lot and deliver bugger all.
Ramp up the fear.
Dominate the media space with daily briefings.
Frame the narrative, combined with the fear and propaganda barrage.
Tony Blair was once hugely popular in the UK. Now he is loathed. Ardern's worm will turn. The sooner the better.

Going into caucus this morning, Davis told reporters that he had had discussions with Ardern but would not reveal any details.
Asked if he was up against Grant Robertson for the job, he said: "I'm not up against anybody."

I would prefer Grant Robertson, Kelvin Davis hasnt impressed me at all.
Medical people seem to think David Clarke has been a good Health Minister and he does a lot behind the scenes. Although he romped back in in his Dunedin electorate, in spite of his Covid Lockdown blunders, I dont think it would go down especially well if he was reinstated as Health Minister. I was wondering if Ayesha Verrall would be a starter? I confess I know very little about her

DPM will most likely be a Maori - Cindy owes them big time, especially now with the Maori Party getting back with a foothold in Parliament.
As with most things about Cindy, it’s about appearance over substance.

Enjoy!
The Queen of spin, says a lot but says nothing at all that actually has any real meaning.

What surveys show most people think Clarke has done a good job???? A bandycoot could win in Dunedin, as long as it was painted red. I think Chip seems to be doing well. I'd like to see him remain in that position, and get him as far away from education as possible.

No surveys fungus just word amongst the medical professionals I know in Dunedin who have worked closely with him.
I agree Chris Hipkins appears to be doing a good job and I would be happy for him to remain in that position

Chris Hipkins is super bright, highly intelligent, absolutely run rings around most MP's & hense highly competent.
But hasn't quite got the easy going relaxed & relatable charm of Grant Robertson who is also very bright & the obvious eventual future leader of the Labour Party.

Hipkins does stuff all in his local electorate in which I live, big contrast to the electorate down in Hutt South where Chris Bishop is highly prominent and hard working at the coal face.

Well to be fair Chris Hipkins has had a lot on his plate with all this Covid stuff.
