    Great companies are those that think long term ....short term stuff like ensuring the next profit number meets the market's expectations is not part of their make up.

    I reckon jacinda's best bet is to think long term .....give Winston the fingers and let him cause carnage with National. Long term Jacinda will be a saviour and a hero.

    But I think Jacinda will think short term and do all she can to become PM and stuff the consequences of doin so. Doing this will see a short term Labour government ...maybe even lead the party into oblivion.

    Still waiting for a revolution though.y

    If Labour kick WP into touch, National can do the same and still govern. Now if WP was to fail in his attempt to be king, what a sight he would make roaming around in the parliamentary gutter.

    He can make Bill king or Jacinda queen but he can't make himself king.

    He will pick the weaker side - gives him more influence and power. And we will see whether he can't enthrone himself. Queen Jacinda might be prepared to do anything for getting her butt onto the throne. I don't think that some temporary arrangement to swap the PM position during the term - or alternatively some sort of puppet PM-ship (a la Myanmar) has been ruled out yet.

    Sounds like a circus with Winston the ringmaster.

    He sounds like he's picked Labour if you try and analyze his cryptic wafflings.

    I don't try to analyse his "cryptic waffles", but yes - it would make sense for him to pick Labour with their Green attachment (unless the special votes make this impossible, which is unlikely): The Left is weak, inexperienced, internally split and desperate to "change the government". Easy game for Winnie: divide and conquer!

    No point. Everyone is trying to influence a decision thats not able to be influenced. Bias and agendas are all irrelevant and hot air imo. But i know bill will be doing anything to get in as he has already shown by lying repeatedly to his country; that he is prepared to stoop , divide and conquer , corrupted by power which hopefully will be his undoing.;;;laters.
