If National wins ...

[Joshuatree]

An int point of view Is Winston Peters our best current defence against market extremism?

"Meaning: Peters has lots and lots of room to breathe, and can quite legitimately demand changes to dispute resolution procedures that threaten our national sovereignty. In the process… MMP is once again proving its worth as a defence against ideologically-driven market extremism."

Peters is away with the fairies and resorting to Muldoonism. He is going to sort out the dollar. According to Winston we have the most volatile currency in the world. According to me it's not in the top 20; maybe the top 50. Whatever - he wants to raise the price of all imports to 'help us'. Allah forbid that this clown gets his way with that one.

According to this he is right: https://www.dukascopy.com/fxcomm/blo...w&post_id=3909 (eur/nzd)

Maybe its Labour showing employers the way to negotiate - especially when it comes to National Awards (oops I mean Fair PAy Agreements). It seems we could have two large employers battling out what the Award can look like and they can leave the third party Union out in the dark.

(Chloe as Winstons deputy PM would never work. She is far too earnest and I suspect one late night gin and tonic would be enough to topple her)

Bill English's negotiation framework with Winston

'Look Winston, the National Party has principles, but if you don't like them, well, we've got others'

That's currency pairs.
Most volatile currency is Sth Africa.

Note also that while NZD/EUR is one of the most volatile pairs, NZD/USD is one of the least volatile.

Yes – but it suits Winstons narrative

NZD/USD is one of the least volatile.

No – that doesn’t suit Winstons narrative

93% of us probably given most wont have voted for Winston but is seems like no matter what we are going to get more than his fair share of policies
