don't think I can get behind this new woman if she doesn't support the ABs, at least bill was the kind of guy you could have a beer and a yarn with while watching the ruggers.

e: poo poo posting on new fresh new page, for shame. For my sins, look at this thing about America politics: BBC Future created a composite face of all members of the US Senate and House of Representatives. Spoiler: the composite face looks like an air brushed Bush.

Any ideas what a composite of NZ parliament would look like? *posts a picture of Winston*

I didn't know these losers existed until I heard they got disbanded from someone I share campus space with. Even the pro-life association managed to stuff our labs full of printouts, these guys just kind of yelled MAGA at AUSA staff and got banned or something? true revolutionaries imho

anyway if jacinda is secretly al pacino's character from scarface or something, sounds good to me

You just know if it was someone of their own stripes with questions being asked about a perceived lack of experience, they'd be portrayed as a dynamic political outsider coming in to blast the stuffy has-beens out of the establishment or something.

Well you note he doesn't mention Austria having just elected a 31 year old.

I mean, it could be because he's not really concerned with politics outside of his own bubble, but it's just a nice coincidence that their leader happens to also be a man leading a conservative Christian party who built his reputation on keeping refugees out of the Fatherland.

The hell is wrong with these people and how are they getting published? They couldn't find dirt to bash Jacinda on so they revert to blatant sexism and just making poo poo up? Even bloody Trump got a week of "Give him a chance" as he continually shat the bed.

Goddamn the amount of salt is incredible. They had nine years in power to pretty much do everything they wanted with effectively no resistance. That's about as good of a run as anyone gets. But it's just never enough, is it? Some of them seem to think that the sky is literally falling now that they might have to endure a whole three years of opposition

He has always been the NZ First spokesperson for it. I don’t think anyone in Labour stood out about it. I think he is also ex-Army so seems a fairly natural choice.

Ron Mark is ex-army because he was in the army until his application for the SAS got rejected, at which point he quit and became a mercenary for a theocratic regime.

This isn't even stuff he tries to hide.

quote:

Ron completed two back to back tours and was repatriated in 1983, but was refused permission by his corps to be posted to NZSAS to complete his training - a decision which resulted in Ron leaving the NZ Army in 1985 as a Captain and taking up an offer of service with the Sultan of Oman's Land Forces and the Sultan's Special Force in the Dhofar.
