If National wins ...

[Blue Skies]

So it's OK to suggest there are hundreds of ardern lookalikes at Karaka and Ellerslie?

Posts like that make you sound like a women-hating, mysogynist, creep.
Striking at a womens appearance, esp in such an intentionally degrading way, has no equivalence to humorously comparing a male politician's looks with another.

If you can't understand that, go & ask your mother.
Grow up, no place for gutter rubbish like that on here.

And you and panda are happy to dis Luxon for his appearance. Two unbalanced labour shills.

Yes and no. It is probably a good move to bring him that high onto the list and to make him as well an important part of the leadership team. He deserves that after being screwed by the cancer called Judith.

No idea, though whether he has any experience in finance - I don't think so.

Isn't that what we always complain about if it is a Labour minister - no relevant training and no relevant life experience?

But hey, this is National = so must be all good :

Simon has held several cabinet minister posts including economic development.

Compare & contrast with Grant Robertson who has zero cabinet experience and whose degree is in politics. Telling, isn’t it why he sucks at the job?

As Grant has a bit of carry on with a bus driver, its a wonder he has not been shunted into Minister of Transport.

We are so lucky to be living here through these times.I shudder at the thought of having had National governing.How many times would our hospitals have been over run by now, how many waves of covid would we have had now, how many deaths, long covid etc etc. We are the luckiest country i can think of .

Full employment is hard to achieve but he has managed to do it.

If he puts even more into NZ super then he will have more fiscal credentials than all the lawyers the Nats conjure up.

Don't try and wiggle your way out of it, I've never commented on Luxon's appearance.

Besides, everyone knows striking at a women's appearance in the way you did, is not the same as comparing one bald politician's looks with another.
Any decent person would find your degrading comment comparing a women with an animal as sickening.
You remind me of the depraved Australian politicians barking when a female MP stands up to speak.

Jacinda Adern is obviously incredibly tough & resilient, but she's not made of steel.
Some forget she is just human like the rest of us.
If many people just happened on this thread, they would be shocked at the level of misogyny directed at her by a couple of posters.

Just quit the nasty ugly juvenile stuff, we'd be much more interested in your arguments.

87,000 unemployed as of today.

Borrowing $1 billion a week.

Generating 7% GDP growth by borrowing 26% of GDP in debt.

What a great FM he is indeed!

Can't give you a rep vote for the usual reason, but I second this. The misogyny here is the worst I've ever seen on any online forum anywhere. If it is acceptable for you guys (not you Blue Skies) to behave this way towards women, I guess you'd be fine with it if someone did the same to your wives/girlfriends, daughters and mothers?
