If National wins ...

Bring back Bill....

Firstly, as far as offensive comments go I would have thought his comments about Maureen Pugh would have been more offensive to most people, not least Maureen Pugh.

Secondly, I'm suprised we didn't hear Soimons copulation comments ages ago via one of Jamie-Lee's secret recordings. Clearly JRL must have concluded they were innocuous.

Thirdly, maybe Jacqui saw this as her best chance of making headlines, as flying under the radar is her default setting. If she likes to get offended at the drop of a hat then she may consider gravitating towards the political Left as they are past masters at it.

Big Gerry would like to throw some weight around, but alas, the safe pair of hands is seen as yesterdays man.

The good people of Ilam realised how good Big Gerry was,voting him out of one of the safest National seats in NZ.

Act was too left wing for her according to wiki.

She probably wants fonterra to run NZ with her family employed as advisors.

He looked like he was out of Laurel & Hardy, but he was no Ilam Hardy!

People are saying the shambles continues.

After weeks of rumblings and caucus meeting for 3 hours this morning, they are too scared to pick the wrong person as next leader & going to take several days to decide!

Not because they've got such brilliant candidates to choose between, but the opposite, there's no convincing standout leader & caucus is not confident anyone will be up to the task & stuff it up again.

IMO they, and any political party, should take as long as it takes, for the good of NZ, not just match any media deadline or the expectation of those who want to throw a rock from the sidelines.

Decide a strategy, who believes in the strategy, only choose from those who believe, and if you dont , either shut up, or get out of the way.

But everyone's known Collins was going to be rolled for several weeks.
It's been discussed in the media very day.
Surely caucus must have had time to formulate & coalesce around her replacement, just unsure of the timing pre or post Christmas.
Now the leaky ship National is looking rudderless, going in circles with no one in charge & the crew are all arguing with each other.

Perhaps she planned it, like she's had enough of being told she's useless and going to be rolled sooner or later and decided she'd bring it on herself now citing some lame complaint from 2017 knowing full well it would lead to her being ousted.

And trying to take Bridges down with her !!
