    As Bill said above, she was voted in with a clear majority, the only PM to get such overwhelming support under MMP. So that claim of sexism and ageism does not stand any scrutiny !
    Feedback from Labour Party focus groups with Cindy & Grant Robertson is that white female voters (who overwhelmingly voted for her on the last elections) are deserting Cindy in droves.

    To get them back requires Cindy to firstly drop all the racist & divisive policies favouring Maoris & to deliver on her huge promises.

    There is no likelihood of that happening however according to my contact in the focus groups. Instead, Cindy is going to change her communication strategy.

    The Labourite posters here know I am writing with ‘insider’ information.

    No it simply requires being better than alternative.

    We can all remember the divisive policies National implemented when doing a deal with the maori party.

    The drafting of a constitution behind closed doors.
    Whanau ora.
    The marine coastal bill.
    The billions in treaty settlements not voted on.

    And it's not correct that she has become unpopular; although she may have become less popular she is still the most popular of all our MPs. For all that I think it's only a matter of time before the polls turn on her.

    Here's the reason why the majority of NZers have had a gutsful of her :





    This young female PM, Cindy, has betrayed all NZers with her non mandated, devious and hidden agenda to introduce racist & divisive policies, while completely failing to deliver on any of the huge promises she made to get into power.

    Your nonsense is hardly worthy of a response when you just make stuff up, again and again. To suggest BILLIONS of dollars spent on Treaty settlements without parliamentary approval is ridiculous.
    The Maori Party was not needed to form a majority Government with John Key but he invited them in and gave their 2 MPs Pita Sharples and Tariana Turia ministerial responsibilities.They were very different to the current Leaders of the Maori Party and a lot less divisive.

    What a complete lot of Numpties this lot are appealing the ruling that the vaccine mandates for NZDF and Police were unlawful, they have stated that whatever the outcome nothing is going to change, complete waste of taxpayers money and showing complete arrogance that they were called out.

    The last paragraph says it all.

    There are many reasons for her unpopularity and one reason is because she hasn’t delivered on some of her big promises, and that does not exclude sexism as a reason for her unpopularity, and that she is judged more harshly because she is a woman than a man would be in a similar situation.

    She has triggered an avalanche of misogyny in a certain section of the population, who are quite vocal with their dislike of her and her policies. And she would have been more unpopular with them had she delivered on her promise of a capital gains tax.

    She went down in my books because she wouldn’t meet with the protestors, but I still think she is much better than any alternative politician.
