Maximus Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 Saw on the News tonight a microcosm of why Simon had to go...he couldn't even say " I have absolutely no regrets" convincingly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Globederby19 Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 To little, to late for National. It will be a quantum leap to see them winning this next election.The new kid on the block even congratulated Jacinda on her handling of the pandemic. Most unusual, and to top it off gave an indication they might look at working with the Greens or would at least look at it. Interesting times again.

Hesi Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 Why, Jacinda took over only 6 weeks before the last election and got Labour from 22% to 39% I can see one potential new problem now Muller is a conservative strongly governed by his Catholic faith, Kaye is a liberal, therefore issues on abortion, drug reform and euthanasia are not going to be easy, especially if the party becomes and already is a blend of conservatives and liberals 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also said that he does not push his abortion views on others and he is relaxed about same sex marriage so i don't think his faith will play much of a part in his political career.

Frankly, with those views his "faith" doesnt play a part in his personal career either, so Kaye may find it easier to bring our social values even lower than they are. Good by absolutes, hello Rome.

Hesi Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 Muller is going to have to get his game sorted out, I note he was attacking the quality of most of the Labour cabinet. We don't want that, we first and foremost want to know about the Nats plans for resurrecting the economy, followed by an all out attack on Labour's economic recovery plans. In case you hadn't noticed Todd, the Nat's talent department, when it comes to business and economics, is hardly a cupboard full of riches Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good by absolutes, hello Rome. Thankfully he isn’t going to push his religious views at all, otherwise his chances are zero. Religion is a dead duck for the voting public & pushing any religious views is a certain road to oblivion. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
