A swinging voter? And here was I thinking you were Crosby-Textors South Island agent. The Labour Party will be relieved.

I have voted Labour several times - which is not to say I would ever vote for the current dismal lot. As far as Crosby Dexter go I don't even know who the hell they are. I've only ever seen the name on this forum, but gather they're a PR crowd. All major parties have a PR agency surely; although come to think of it, Labour show no sign of any PR advice.

Of course. Unsurprisingly - I forgot.

Really? Give examples when Shaw has looked put of his depth or incompetent.
Generally in my view he comes across very well.
However his co-leader doesn't give him much help.
The thing is The Greens are all too nice to stab each other in the back or have a leadership stoush,
The odd limp celery stick might get shaken violently.

Wait a minute macduffy, James Shaw doesn't look like he came down in the last shower, /QUOTE]

Actually his biggest problem is that is exactly how he comes across. Be objective. Of the 'leaders' you have named the winner is Annette King who is not interested and probably unelectable because of her age. I can't help thinking Shearer would have become extremely popular if he had been given longer. He has shone since his demotion. The one I am watching is Stuart Nash although he's probably in the wrong party just like Damien O'Connor. That doesn't matter much. the parties are close enough to drift backwards and forwards over the centre line. They both do - which is why I'm a swinging voter.

Hopefully never a government.

Just a matter of time before the Greens support passes that of Labour :-)

Hopefully never a government.

Do you really want an unfettered free market with no regulations? Where foreign owned corporations make the decisions for NZ. Where the de facto NZ Ministry of Finance is located at Collins St, Melbourne.

FP probably has photos of Roger Douglas and Don Brash in the living room, Bjauck. FP voted Labour once, when for a while they were more neoliberal than the neoliberals.
