Good things do come in 3. If and when Labour and Greens do come to power in November, they can tell Roche to fuck off the very next day

Man who has been an elected MP 7 times since 1979, government minister no fewer than 6 times, played a role in 5 governments both National and Labour led over the last 36 years, finally admits he’s fucked it all up.

Curia for TPU are polling again after their one last weekend was not picked up in the media (NZME did us a favour there). I see the questions are targeted against Luxon and to reinforce the Split the Vote crap. However Winne has gone back to old Social Conservative stuff again so something is....

Party Vote Green everyone and lets get them to 20%. Not only would that mean Mike Hosking is on a one way flight to Sydney but also tax reform leverage

On that one - the Far Right Split the vote, I am watching it very carefully. Seems to be more noise than substance. Had a Split the Vote Stickler when probed was more warm towards Labour but despised Hipkins. I sat him down and walked him through stuff. His vote will go Labour or TOP

Stupid as stupid does from Willis Ironically if the Far Right's Split the Vote campaign does enough damage Willis wont be around much longer is a very sweet bitter irony

In economics we call this failure. In politics its called object failure and omnishambles. PREFU stands for Pre Election Fiscal Update and is given before each of our elections. You can work out who was in power for each PREFU yourself

What Cage has done for literally the past decade is exactly this, he finds a weird eccentric script by a first time filmmaker, signs on, his name brings in clout, he makes the film, and sometimes it's not very good. But it's still artistic as hell. This is why I *love* Cage.
