    Pure Doublespeak. George would be impressed.


    Well I for one am at how it seems that the Greens are having a momentary laspe of reason.

    It is very good though to see some people still feel that they have to
    resign on principle. Pity that it has to come to this in the first place. Still MPs do represent the people.


    The gentlemen made a stand. Shaw and the rabble behaved like the marxist muppets they are. hoping they don't toss Turei till after the election
    because her snout peering from the Green ranks is liable to be another
    20,000 votes for National :)

    The silliest thing is that Shaw has tossed a world recognised climate
    change 'expert'. Can't do anything but indicate Green ain't what they
    are these days.



    I think this will not be hurting the Nats.


    Nope. But it's certainly delivered a body blow to the Greens aspirations
    of fronting up so they can trough some more :)

    By and large I agree - I suspect the valedictories over the next
    coulple of weeks will emphasise that these are just two more who have
    decided (or had it decided for them) that their time had come.
    National may however gain a bit of support for McCully going, but it
    would be marginal.

    The Greens have succedded in getting conversations started about
    poverty and the dreadful treatment of beneficiaries by this
    government, and the integrity of their actions may give them some
    gains.

    National have their own problems of course see: http://www.newshub.co.nz/home/election/2017/08/newshub-poll-bill-english-s-credibility-hit-by-todd-barclay-saga.html
    and coincidently coming through at the same time: http://www.newshub.co.nz/home/election/2017/08/patrick-gower-bill-english-in-shutdown-mode-over-todd-barclay-texts.html

    (with texts sent from his ministerial phone to a parliamentary staffer
    it is clear that they were official information, and this should have
    been clear after John Key was caught deleting information, and in any
    event it ispotential evidence in a possible court cvase, which he
    should also have known - but National may lose less because Winston's grandstanding turns some people off . . . https://www.parliament.nz/en/watch-parliament/ondemand?itemId=196523

    and in any event voting intentions are fairly volatile - see http://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/article.cfm?c_id=1&objectid=11899875



    The Greens have failed miserably Rich. Just as you have over the years
    you've been polluting this ng with your dirty politics. But you keep
    whistling and tossing shit into the wind. The smell suits you :)

    The way that she is using her children simply demonstrates her immorality. She has been living a lie in this sorry debacle and is the architect of her demise, the failing Green party and if her children are suffering she caused that too. Anybody who is defending her is every bit as bad.
