Its exactly the same as what he was saying last time. "He's making stuff up but of course we're doing it everyone is but you can't trust him he's lying but we only sometimes do that but its not true but he's got no proof but it's totally normal but it's a left-wing attack but..."

Let's not pretend that Northland will be any better off under Winston than it would be under a National MP, particularly given Winston's "one law for all" bullshit. Northland is such a perfect case study of why we need a Maori electoral roll. So I'm not particularly happy about Winston being ahead in Northland, even if it costs National a seat. They're still going to get their bullshit through parliament anyway, Dunne isn't going to cross the floor on anything that the Nats really want. This is kinda how I always feel about Winston though, maybe I need to get better at accepting him as the lesser of two evils.

Exclamation Marx posted:Tracy Martin seems pretty reasonable, as do a couple of the new ones whose names I haven't learned. This^ I don't know much about any of his new people, but I've met Tracy Martin and seen her speak a bunch of times and she's good. Question: do people think Dunne would still have opposed the RMA reforms and/or deployment to Iraq if National depended on his vote to pass them? Re: Gareth Hughes, he's hardly got a chance but having a contested leadership race will at least get the Greens into the headlines. Plus it'll get him more exposure, which can't hurt. He's good, despite his baby face. voiceless anal fricative fucked around with this message at 10:00 on Mar 5, 2015 |

Slavvy posted:This is terrible and actually makes me feel glad I only have to do lifespan-reducing physical labour on machines for a pittance. Not an easy feat! Dunno about secondary, but I've never met a primary teacher who didn't give a poo poo. Even the ones who I thought were lovely teachers for various reasons would do poo poo like what he's talking about. Its just part of the job, and I'm assuming secondary isn't much different. I think secondary teachers just get more poo poo because their students are a lot more aware of what they're doing as a teacher. The 8yo's I teach don't even fully realise I'm a separate person, they're often surprised to find out I don't live at school and that I'm paid to be there. voiceless anal fricative fucked around with this message at 01:12 on Mar 6, 2015 |

Butt Wizard posted:The STV system at the last referendum did away with the party list entirely from memory. In theory I wouldn't be against that tbh, each politician directly accountable to people in an area. Maybe then we'd get some kind of regional development strategy. In practice it would be the death of half of the opposition block at the moment, so...

The people who were unprepared for the earthquake in CHCH were the property developers and the insurance companies, not the ones who lost their houses and stuck out their hands afterwards. Insurance companies weren't sufficiently leveraged to meet their obligations and were offering people like 1/2 or 1/3 of what their policy was worth. Meanwhile property developers had built entire suburbs of houses on the cheap, with insufficient foundations, in a loving swamp. It's their fault that a decent chunk of christchurch sunk into the ground when the earthquake hit.

Depends on the MP but often they're really responsive to lobbying. The electorate system makes them accessible at least. E.g. NZEI were able to successfully lobby various local MPs to help people get claims resolved with that novopay shitstorm a few years ago

Looks like Labour people are voting strategically, Willow Jean Prime's only on 600 votes. Now if only Labour could've done more of that in the general election... Interesting to see if the vote swings back more in Osbourne's favour with on-the-day votes.

70% counted and Winston's still well ahead, looks like it's done. Im pretty pissed at Labour's inability to cooperate with other parties last election. Look at what it's done here. With the new parliamentary arrangements they would've been able to pass Sue Moroney's paid parental leave bill, as well as a bunch of their private members bills. Hopefully theyll learn from this and there'll be no more Labour candidates losing by 200 votes, or Peter Dunne winning by 700 votes.

There's actually no minimum amount that has to paid to be considered a financial member and there's no requirement for proof of the financial contribution other than the membership form so in practice you just need 500 people willing to sign the form with a nominal amount on it and someone to pay the $500 registration fee.

Butt Wizard posted:ahahaha seriously? If that's the case it's even funnier that UF got caught a couple of years ago. Ya I was on a party list in the 2008 election and never paid a cent, though my membership form said I did. I think in UF's case they actually dropped below 500 members. Also re: parachuting in MPs, Labour has the opposite problem. Apart from a handful all of their politicians have made a career of it, so they hang on way past their time.

He was a regular at a deli in Ponsonby where a friend worked and honestly he was the most effusive and lovely person I've ever heard. I stood behind him in the Rage Against the Machine moshpit at BDO years ago, same thing. Every 5 mins someone would come and ask for a photo or autograph and he was amazing about it.
