• Incompetence? Or worse?

    From Rich80105@3:770/3 to All on Wednesday, January 17, 2018 16:17:07
    Either way, National is confirming that it is good that they lost the
    election. https://www.stuff.co.nz/the-press/opinion/100590094/petition-to-fourlane-sh1-politically-motivated

    Falloon appears to have a deficient understanding of "planning" -
    apparently to him it is a complex 2 stage process:
    1. Have an Idea. 2. Make the idea an election promise

    Sadly, Falloon appears not to be alone in thinking that is all there
    is to a proper planning process - the authoritarian right "knows"
    that they lmnw best - they don;t need to investigate costs vs
    benefits, they don't need to figure out how to pay for it, or whether
    it is worth putting off other projects. Such incompetence undoubtedly influenced some people to vote for Labour / Green /NZ First, but htere
    were others.

    If the above description is unfair to the MP, then perhaps you would
    prefer the alternative - that he is just lying about it - after all
    at a by-election there were other roading promises - bridges that were
    never built.. Is this just another lie? The most notable lie, that
    probably led directly to National losing, was the "$10 bn hole" - said
    by Joyce but bizarrely supported by English. This appears small by
    comparison, but they had made a habit of too many lies - and not being trustworthy may well have lost them the election.

    Sore losers? Certainly. They demonstrate that they have a lot of work
    to convince people that they have changed to be a credible alternative
    in 2020.

    Another left wing spin doctor making a fool of himself. Labour have changed almost all their election policy's to a state where they're barely recognisable
    any more. They didn't lose the election you stupid Stalinist prick! Winston gave them the
    government to play with and like so many students they're making a total balls up of it as expected :)

    Rich National will be the only alternative next year when the shower of shit that Winston spitefully foisted on us fly apart like a mad women's shit early next year!

    Pooh
