    Now it's a Saturday (at best) reveal!

    The reason - apparently the logistics of getting the NZF Board in one place are
    ... difficult.

    FFS he's holding up the formation of a government because his little party of fools can't plan and attend a meeting?

    Are they all too busy with pre-planned knitting and bingo?

    Unbelievable. Literally.

    Who voted for this idiot? You should be embarrassed and ashamed of yourselves.

    Yup. Can be a bother getting Winston out of Bellamys and
    getting Winston out of the Green Parrot
    and finding Winston in the far north and
    finding Winston at home..
    Then getting them all together in one room.....

    The very idea is likely to put me off my glass of wine tonight!
    Hmmm maybe not!

    Heard of The Party Vote? After all he only got into the house via the party vote/list.

    Anyhow, more importanly why can not people just ignore Winston? He acts out
    the same play and surely after 33 years we all have seen it.

    It was doable by Thursday 12 October 2017, but it was not done. A great way
    to start your term in Government.

    The whole concept of having a dedaline for neogotations is rather silly in
    my view. They take as long as they take. A bit like child birth labour.

    Are you serious? These people voted for Winston. I bet few could name a single other caucus member (nor list a single NZF policy other than "stop the Chinks from getting in")

    Technically a party vote but they voted for Winston.

    “I make this guarantee that whatever decision New Zealand First arrives at post-election, it will be made public by the day the writs are returned, which is within three weeks from polling day.”

    That's what Winston said on 25 July.

    Winston's "guarantee" eh?

    It would be great for National to do a deal with the Greens and pull the
    rug out from underneath Winston.

    I'd like to see the Nats play hard-ball with Winston. Let him have a couple of baubles and a couple of his less damaging policies but tell him he can take the
    socialist, big government, interventionist crap and stick it where the sun don't shine. If he
    balks at that then make life so hard for the Labour/NZF/Green clusterfuck so hard (they wouldn't even have majorities on many select committees) that they could do minimal damage before they get thrown out in 3 years or less and NZF ended permanently.

    Meaningless. They campaigned specifically to change the government. They can't change their fundamental goal after the election; the backlash would destroy them. They've painted themselves into their own little corner of political impotence.

    You highlight the difference between the Green party and National
    nicely - the GReens have integrity, National don't. As the ACT leader
    says, all they have is a "born to rule" attitude. Policies for the
    good of the country come second to that in National's mindset.

    say - it is up to English to pick up the phone and arrange a meeting.

    Meaningless. They campaigned specifically to change the government. They can't change their fundamental goal after the election; the backlash would destroy them. They've painted themselves into their own little corner of political impotence.

    You highlight the difference between the Green party and National
    nicely - the GReens have integrity, National don't. As the ACT leader
    says, all they have is a "born to rule" attitude. Policies for the
    good of the country come second to that in National's mindset.

    Rich you seem to need reminding about the Greens issues with a
    co-leader who thought it would benefit the party for her to admit to
    her historic benefit fraud. With a leader this dishonest and with
    such poor political judgment is it any wonder that the Greens lost out
    so much in the recent general election?

    The Greens have ruled out ever being in Government with National -
    meaning that they can never align with National's blue-green ginger
    group to advance their cause. This stance from the Greens perpetuates
    an image of a watermelon party - a little bit green on the outside
    but mostly red.

    omg. Just as funny as always Rich. Can you cite where ANY party has stood behind an admitted benefit fraudster like the marxist muppets in the Green party have? Hell Shaw and co. are probably like you incapable of spelling integrity let alone comprehend
    the meaning that most of us do.

    As to your claim Shaw has said National just has to pick up the phone. They also have to wait till the Green party members vote on whether they go with National. but guess that is something we'll never see, much like you posting something honestly for a
    change :)

    It is however not a permanent commitment - where do they say they

    I quote from that article:

    "We will not form a coalition with National".

    That is their current commitment. That is why NZ First get to choose
    who will lead the next government.

    There
    is also the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the Greens and >>Labour. The Greens providing any accommodation to National is clearly >>incompatible with their commitments to the MOU.

    Agreed - but the current position of the Green party means that the
    next government cannot include National.

    If you can show any evidence that the Green Party have rules out ever

    unjustified - if you are not deliberately lying you will be able to
    justify your own statements.

    See my comments above. Given this there would clearly be a
    significant shift on the part of the Greens to have any accommodation
    with National now or in the future.

    Now you are being deliberately obtuse - you are certainly aware of
    Bill English falsely claiming one of the benefits for which MPs may be
    eligible but to which he was not entitled - a hint- he had to repay
    over $30,000.

    Of course no answer to this question - your irrational prejudices are
    showing, Crash.



    The Greens have ruled out ever being in Government with National -
    Why do you lie?
    They have ruled it out under current management and
    policies of National, but they have cooperated with NAtional in the >>>>past and have not ruled out doing so in future.

    Why do you make baseless accusations of lying?

    If you read this clearly:

    https://www.greens.org.nz/page/voting-2017

    you will see an unequivocal commitment that excludes National.
    It is however not a permanent commitment - where do they say they
    rules out ever being in Government with National?

    I quote from that article:

    "We will not form a coalition with National".

    That is their current commitment. That is why NZ First get to choose
    who will lead the next government.

    Exactly - that is their current commitment. When National recognise
    reality in a few policy areas they may gain support, but currently
    they refuse to recognise many environmental and social issues -
    although it must be a bit hard to now ignore the problems caused by
    water supplies being increasingly contaminated by nitrates . . .


    There
    is also the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the Greens and >>>Labour. The Greens providing any accommodation to National is clearly >>>incompatible with their commitments to the MOU.
    The MoU expired with the election. There is no doubt that the Green
    Party will work well with Labour during the next term - whether in >>government or opposition - but that does not prevent the Greens
    working with National in the future - although that wold require a >>recognition by National of some of our very real problems that the
    Green Party is concerned about.

    Agreed - but the current position of the Green party means that the
    next government cannot include National.
    The claim was that this is a permanent exclusion - we agree that their
    current position precludes the Greens working with National in the
    short term.



    meaning that they can never align with National's blue-green ginger >>>>>group to advance their cause. This stance from the Greens perpetuates >>>>>an image of a watermelon party - a little bit green on the outside >>>>>but mostly red.
    Since you are wrong about your basic premise, your blatant political >>>>venom can be safely ignored.

    Your descent into unjustified putdown is noted.
    "meaning that they can never align with National" is blatantly untrue
    - drawing that to your attention is certainly justified.


    If you can show any evidence that the Green Party have rules out ever >>working with National then I would accept that my criticism is
    unjustified - if you are not deliberately lying you will be able to
    justify your own statements.

    See my comments above. Given this there would clearly be a
    significant shift on the part of the Greens to have any accommodation
    with National now or in the future.
    So you do recognise that some accomodation wbetween National and the
    Greens is possible - strange that you see that as requiring a shift by
    the Greens - they see it as requiring a significant shift on the part
    of National - either way you admit that a future accomodation is not impossible.

    National stuck behind Bill English even after he had to repay around
    $32,000 for allowances he wrongly claimed.

    No evidence he knowingly committed fraud, as you well know, you smearing little piece of shit.
    Of course there is - he applied for the money, and he eventually
    admitted that he should not have received it and repaid the money. Of
    course as a National MP he claimed "Its not my fault gov - they made
    me do it!" - you can always rely on any National MP to avoid taking
    personal responsibility; they only believe in personal responsibility
    for others . . . It did however result in no prosecution being
    taken. We have as much evidence for his fraud as we do for that of
    Metiria Turei . . .

    And yet James Shaw did say that he was prepared to listen if Bill
    English wanted to talk - he is willing to talk if Bill English wanted
    to, but it appears Bill has ruled that out.

    Benefit fraud is a serious crime and punishable by imprisonment
    Indeed, but as Bill English has shown, repaying the money can be
    enough to avoid a prosecution.

    omg. Just as funny as always Rich. Can you cite where ANY party has stood
    behind an admitted benefit fraudster like the marxist muppets in the Green party have?
    National stuck behind Bill English even after he had to repay around
    $32,000 for allowances he wrongly claimed.

    No evidence he knowingly committed fraud, as you well know, you smearing
    little piece of shit.
    Of course there is - he applied for the money, and he eventually

    Based on advice from Ministerial Services that he was entitled to it. This is the formal finding of the Solicitor General's investigation.

    admitted that he should not have received it and repaid the money. Of
    course as a National MP he claimed "Its not my fault gov - they made
    me do it!" - you can always rely on any National MP to avoid taking
    personal responsibility; they only believe in personal responsibility

    He took responsibility and paid it back, you lying little piece of shit.

    for others . . . It did however result in no prosecution being
    taken. We have as much evidence for his fraud as we do for that of
    Metiria Turei . . .

    Stop telling lies. Turei has admitted lying for financial gain. That is complete evidence of fraud. There is no evidence of fraud in English's case where it has been accepted that he incorrectly claimed based on bad advice.

    But keep digging. You'll reach China in no time.



    Hell Shaw and co. are probably like you incapable of spelling integrity
    let alone comprehend the meaning that most of us do.

    As to your claim Shaw has said National just has to pick up the phone.
    Read what I wrote. I said that he is prepared to listen to what
    National have to say. Shaw did not say that National just has to pick
    up the phone. If National had anything worthwhile to say then the
    process of getting agreement from party members could start - but it
    seems Bill English is not interested - do you know why he didn't pick
    up the phone?

    They also have to wait till the Green party members vote on whether they
    go with National. but guess that is something we'll never see, much like you posting something honestly for a change :)

    I haven't seen your posting name before - are you trying to emulate
    the Pooh-troll - or are you Pooh and realised that you had lost all
    credibility long ago? If this is indeed your first post to the group

    over $30,000.

    He claimed it on advice from Ministerial Services.

    http://www.stuff.co.nz/national/politics/3008352/Bill-English-off-housing-hook

    So no similarity to Turei's intentional, dishonest fraud.

    So Dickbot, stop trying to compare the two cases, you dishonest little fucktard.

    Why do you make baseless accusations of lying?

    If you read this clearly:

    https://www.greens.org.nz/page/voting-2017

    you will see an unequivocal commitment that excludes National.
    It is however not a permanent commitment - where do they say they
    rules out ever being in Government with National?

    I quote from that article:

    "We will not form a coalition with National".

    That is their current commitment. That is why NZ First get to choose
    who will lead the next government.

    Exactly - that is their current commitment. When National recognise
    reality in a few policy areas they may gain support, but currently
    they refuse to recognise many environmental and social issues -
    although it must be a bit hard to now ignore the problems caused by
    water supplies being increasingly contaminated by nitrates . . .


    There
    is also the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the Greens and >>>Labour. The Greens providing any accommodation to National is clearly >>>incompatible with their commitments to the MOU.
    The MoU expired with the election. There is no doubt that the Green
    Party will work well with Labour during the next term - whether in >>government or opposition - but that does not prevent the Greens
    working with National in the future - although that wold require a >>recognition by National of some of our very real problems that the
    Green Party is concerned about.

    Agreed - but the current position of the Green party means that the
    next government cannot include National.
    The claim was that this is a permanent exclusion - we agree that their current position precludes the Greens working with National in the
    short term.



    meaning that they can never align with National's blue-green ginger >>>>>group to advance their cause. This stance from the Greens perpetuates >>>>>an image of a watermelon party - a little bit green on the outside >>>>>but mostly red.
    Since you are wrong about your basic premise, your blatant political >>>>venom can be safely ignored.

    Your descent into unjustified putdown is noted.
    "meaning that they can never align with National" is blatantly untrue
    - drawing that to your attention is certainly justified.


    If you can show any evidence that the Green Party have rules out ever >>working with National then I would accept that my criticism is >>unjustified - if you are not deliberately lying you will be able to >>justify your own statements.

    See my comments above. Given this there would clearly be a
    significant shift on the part of the Greens to have any accommodation
    with National now or in the future.
    So you do recognise that some accomodation wbetween National and the
    Greens is possible - strange that you see that as requiring a shift by
    the Greens - they see it as requiring a significant shift on the part
    of National - either way you admit that a future accomodation is not impossible.

    government or opposition - but that does not prevent the Greens
    working with National in the future - although that wold require a
    recognition by National of some of our very real problems that the
    Green Party is concerned about.

    Agreed - but the current position of the Green party means that the
    next government cannot include National.
    The claim was that this is a permanent exclusion - we agree that their
    current position precludes the Greens working with National in the
    short term.



    meaning that they can never align with National's blue-green ginger
    group to advance their cause. This stance from the Greens perpetuates >> >>>>>an image of a watermelon party - a little bit green on the outside
    but mostly red.
    Since you are wrong about your basic premise, your blatant political
    venom can be safely ignored.

    Your descent into unjustified putdown is noted.
    "meaning that they can never align with National" is blatantly untrue
    - drawing that to your attention is certainly justified.


    If you can show any evidence that the Green Party have rules out ever
    working with National then I would accept that my criticism is
    unjustified - if you are not deliberately lying you will be able to
    justify your own statements.

    See my comments above. Given this there would clearly be a
    significant shift on the part of the Greens to have any accommodation
    with National now or in the future.
    So you do recognise that some accomodation wbetween National and the
    Greens is possible - strange that you see that as requiring a shift by
    the Greens - they see it as requiring a significant shift on the part
    of National - either way you admit that a future accomodation is not
    impossible.

    Rich, the Greens have ruled that out any accommodation with National
    (and I gave my cite for this). There has been no repudiation of that
    refusal to accommodate National. The offer made by Shaw to listen if
    he was to be phoned by English is a courtesy offer only. I don't
    recall National ever ruling out working with the Greens in Government.

    Personally I would be delighted if the Greens would consider working
    with National. As things stand currently that would drastically
    change the options available to National to form a new Government.

    National stuck behind Bill English even after he had to repay around
    $32,000 for allowances he wrongly claimed.

    No evidence he knowingly committed fraud, as you well know, you smearing >>>little piece of shit.
    Of course there is - he applied for the money, and he eventually
    admitted that he should not have received it and repaid the money. Of >>course as a National MP he claimed "Its not my fault gov - they made

    taken. We have as much evidence for his fraud as we do for that of
    Metiria Turei . . .

    What nonsense - he did not commit an offence

    Of course he did. National have long had contempt for the law - they
    have gone from saying that anything is OK so long as the law is
    obeyed, to anything is OK so long as you are not convicted - and
    preferably not even charged. National had made a huge fuss about some
    Green MPs cooperating in buying a property between them - totally in
    accordance with then rules, and had changed the rules to make that
    more difficult. English would have been well aware, but he fudged it
    with a claim that the public servants had given him wrong advice, and
    in the end he was not charged. It remains a testimony to the venal
    greed of National, and of their almost total lack of ethics. Just as
    Key had been protested by the party (if he did anything wrong the
    expectation and practice is that someone else took the fall for him),
    so English as Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of finance was
    'protected' and they worked hard as dishing up spin of 'boring but
    honest Bill.' That he was forced to repay $32,000 was a wake up call
    that let quite a few voters know that he was no more honest than other
    National MPs - in other words quite corrupt, but the spin at least
    partially covered that "mistake" of fradulently claiming money he was
    not entitled to.

    Now of course we have the example of the missing $10.9 billion which
    was pure Trump-like 'alternative facts' - carefully sent to targetted potential voters ; and English chose to lie by supporting the sleazy
    Joyce in that lie. It confirms the total lack of morality and ethics
    from National. Yes he did commit an offence, but he got away with it
    through clever spin, careful hiding of evidence, and the reality that
    the public sector people invovled would have known that National would

    Evidently the greens vote is a wasted vote as they offer no alternatives.

    It's either liebor or nothing.
    Not very political and in a word powerless.

    Yet National have never changed the law to protect a guilty PM from righteous prosecution, Pissed in doorways, registered dead people for voting, used hopeful immigrants to paint house so they get in or signed claimed paintings as
    their own.

    You know Rich you're a sad little marxist muppet blaming the failings of both Labour and yourself on others. Typical of the holier than you attitude of all on the loopy left. Interesting that these have been pointed out to you almost daily. guess it's
    the inability to comprehend inherint in all idiots that blindly follow the left.

    Meaningless. They campaigned specifically to change the government. They
    can't change their fundamental goal after the election; the backlash would destroy them. They've painted themselves into their own little corner of political impotence.

    You highlight the difference between the Green party and National
    nicely - the GReens have integrity, National don't. As the ACT leader
    says, all they have is a "born to rule" attitude. Policies for the
    good of the country come second to that in National's mindset.

    omg. Just as funny as always Rich. Can you cite where ANY party has stood
    behind an admitted benefit fraudster like the marxist muppets in the Green party have?
    National stuck behind Bill English even after he had to repay around
    $32,000 for allowances he wrongly claimed.

    Hell Shaw and co. are probably like you incapable of spelling integrity let
    alone comprehend the meaning that most of us do.

    As to your claim Shaw has said National just has to pick up the phone.
    Read what I wrote. I said that he is prepared to listen to what
    National have to say. Shaw did not say that National just has to pick
    up the phone. If National had anything worthwhile to say then the
    process of getting agreement from party members could start - but it
    seems Bill English is not interested - do you know why he didn't pick
    up the phone?

    They also have to wait till the Green party members vote on whether they go
    with National. but guess that is something we'll never see, much like you posting something honestly for a change :)

    I haven't seen your posting name before - are you trying to emulate
    the Pooh-troll - or are you Pooh and realised that you had lost all credibility long ago? If this is indeed your first post to the group
    then you have not made a good start.

    Thick as always I see Rich. Only a comprehension-less fuckwit like you wouldn't
    be able to realise that first: Unlike you I'm not a troll, and second: My e,mail would indicate to anyone except a clueless, comprehension-less Labour spin doctor that I am
    your nemesis Pooh still waiting patiently (at times) for you to stop lying, avoiding honest questions and apologise for all your lies and abuse of everyone
    who frequents this ng.

    I thought it was a pretty good return to the group Rich. Unlike your posts not a lie in it! As to having lost credibility, it's nice you're still highlighting
    your own shortcomings by accusing innocent party's of having them :)

    A great way

    The whole concept of having a dedaline for neogotations is
    rather silly in

    It would be great for National to do a deal with the Greens and

    Can you cite any proof that Bill English has ever been on a benefit?
    Now you are being deliberately obtuse - you are certainly aware of
    Bill English falsely claiming one of the benefits for which MPs may be eligible but to which he was not entitled - a hint- he had to repay
    over $30,000.

    He claimed it on advice from Ministerial Services.

    http://www.stuff.co.nz/national/politics/3008352/Bill-English-off-housing-hook

    So no similarity to Turei's intentional, dishonest fraud.

    So Dickbot, stop trying to compare the two cases, you dishonest little
    fucktard.

    Of course no answer to this question - your irrational prejudices are showing, Crash.



    The Greens have ruled out ever being in Government with National - >>>>Why do you lie?

    Why do you make baseless accusations of lying?

    If you read this clearly:

    https://www.greens.org.nz/page/voting-2017

    you will see an unequivocal commitment that excludes National.
    It is however not a permanent commitment - where do they say they
    rules out ever being in Government with National?

    I quote from that article:

    "We will not form a coalition with National".

    That is their current commitment. That is why NZ First get to choose
    who will lead the next government.

    Exactly - that is their current commitment. When National recognise
    reality in a few policy areas they may gain support, but currently
    they refuse to recognise many environmental and social issues -
    although it must be a bit hard to now ignore the problems caused by
    water supplies being increasingly contaminated by nitrates . . .


    There
    is also the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the Greens and >>>Labour. The Greens providing any accommodation to National is clearly >>>incompatible with their commitments to the MOU.
    The MoU expired with the election. There is no doubt that the Green >>Party will work well with Labour during the next term - whether in >>government or opposition - but that does not prevent the Greens
    working with National in the future - although that wold require a >>recognition by National of some of our very real problems that the >>Green Party is concerned about.

    Agreed - but the current position of the Green party means that the
    next government cannot include National.
    The claim was that this is a permanent exclusion - we agree that their current position precludes the Greens working with National in the
    short term.



    meaning that they can never align with National's blue-green ginger >>>>>group to advance their cause. This stance from the Greens perpetuates >>>>>an image of a watermelon party - a little bit green on the outside >>>>>but mostly red.
    Since you are wrong about your basic premise, your blatant political >>>>venom can be safely ignored.

    Your descent into unjustified putdown is noted.
    "meaning that they can never align with National" is blatantly untrue
    - drawing that to your attention is certainly justified.


    If you can show any evidence that the Green Party have rules out ever >>working with National then I would accept that my criticism is >>unjustified - if you are not deliberately lying you will be able to >>justify your own statements.

    See my comments above. Given this there would clearly be a
    significant shift on the part of the Greens to have any accommodation >with National now or in the future.
    So you do recognise that some accomodation wbetween National and the
    Greens is possible - strange that you see that as requiring a shift by
    the Greens - they see it as requiring a significant shift on the part
    of National - either way you admit that a future accomodation is not impossible.

    Calm down JohnO. It's just Rich comparing apples with goat shit :)

    Rich is one of the gifts that just keeps on giving.

    They DO NOT WANT anything to do with National and are happy for taxinda >to bargain for them..

    And yet James Shaw did say that he was prepared to listen if Bill
    English wanted to talk - he is willing to talk if Bill English wanted
    to, but it appears Bill has ruled that out.


    Shaw and the Green party have ruled that out on several occasions Rich. Your foggy little brain is as usual letting you down.

    Benefit fraud is a serious crime and punishable by imprisonment
    Indeed, but as Bill English has shown, repaying the money can be
    enough to avoid a prosecution.

    Pity Clark and Labour didn't pay the PM fund back for her theft from it to pay for election advertising. As to English's problem. You've obviously no knowledge (as always) of the real facts! Here's a reminder just in case you have a flash of
    comprehension for once in your sad little life :http://www.stuff.co.nz/national/politics/3008352/Bill-English-off-housing-hook
