    In fairness JT it was a cringeworthy effort of populist nonsense. And she did use the comrade term a nauseating amount. The timing and phrasing would suggest she has had a fair amount of media and speech writing training. She certainly knows a good sound byte which is what the media laps up.

    bill has had a fair amount of media and speech training too and after all these years he is coming across worse then ever.Why? Its because he doesn't believe what he is saying and that transparency shows; what a turn off.

    No more unusual than plenty of other surnames!

    John Key or is that Keys, Keay, Quay or Qué?
    Bill English or Is that Inglis?
    James Bolger or is that Bolgar, Boulger, Bulger or Bulgur?

    I'm not sure shy you think a video of Comrade Ardern is gutter politics. She was simply addressing an audience in her own way.

    I think it has more to do with that he has the charisma of a wooden post. That shouldn't detract from his ability but it does in our photo opp, sound bite driven world. People's attention spans are so short they just lap up whoever is more photogenic or loud. Can you imagine Rooseveldt being elected today? From a wheelchair?

    JK had no substance but people loved him.
    Proves your point.
    In the end is may be wrong but it is what it is.

    Seems to have escaped EZ and JT's attention that new railway passenger ideas are doomed to failure, and the ones that have "succeeded" have done so because of high and growing rates and taxes on the ratepayers and taxpayers for ever growing subsidies.
