If National wins ...

[fungus pudding]

Shame.It was an opp to improve the standard here and fight a fair fight above the bar . Calling the leader an offensive name is the norm for the national party and its acolytes.

I did not call anyone an offensive name, and I am not an acolyte to or of National or any other political party.

Taxinda is offensive, was hoping we could lift the bar of decency a bit.

Don't be silly. I'm sure she doesn't find it offensive. I don't find it offensive either. What about being called Jakinda suprise, as she told a bunch of schoolkids? Is that:
(1) As offensive
(2) Less offensive
(3) Not offensive
(4) More offensive.

Full marks if you picked 3.
Anyone who can't see a bit of humour in their nick-name is too thin skinned for politics. I'm quite sure she's got a sense of humour.

Good call, all in good humour and good fun. I think some people need to be less snowflakie. I have heard a lot worse than Taxinda.

Yeah, Recinda after the backflip on CGT.

Excellent.

Yeah, Recinda after the backflip on CGT.

Or Convercinda after all the "conversations" she wants to have.

Ok I've tried .Mods its your call from here on because there are no standards here for anyone to meet. But that is consistent for the national party and its acolytes on here.

Whatever happened to honest Bill; corrupted by power.

But what is National saying to its rural support base? It’s not just that Labour is a tax and spend party, or that Labour’s water tax will cripple good honest farmers. Bill English told the nation on TVNZ’s Q&A yesterday morning that the consequence of the water policies of the “opposition parties” was to “slaughter the dairy herd”. He then said, “The next thing they’ll be talking about: depopulate the cities, because they cause water pollution too.”
This, by the way, was shortly after he’d denied he was leading a campaign of lies and scaremongering. Whatever happened to Honest Bill?
New Zealand doesn't have an urban-rural divide – but National's trying its hardest to create one

I feel that's sorta like that old saying the pot calling the kettle black or how did that go again.
