Polity: Labour and the Greens in a tree..., in reply to Fen Tex,
And it doesn't mean anything until we see one party concede policy to the other and/or both assert who from either party will speak for portfolios
They have agreed who gets Finance. That should head off some of the wild squawking from righties about not wanting the Greens anywhere near the money.
They both can't realistically talk about other portfolios until they see how the votes stack up, including Winston's mob. I'm really looking forward to seeing Kevin Hague as a Minister of Health and Julie Anne Genter as a Minister of Transport, but who knows when that will happen?

Polity: Labour and the Greens in a tree..., in reply to Marc C,
I see an election outcome few here will expect, where NZ First may rise to be the strong and vocal opposition party, which may gain favour and support from former, disgruntled National voters and former Labour voters rushing to them, and putting it at perhaps 15 or more percent in the polls and even in election results.
I doubt many of us would be surprised. Opinions welcome.

Speaker: Confessions of an Uber Driver…, in reply to goforit,
Over the past four weeks I have noticed a slight swing back of passengers to taxi industry.
Possibly like Australian customers vs cheap milk purveyors like Fonterra.

Imagine the nightmare involved any time a software upgrade has to be rolled out in a way that requires some kind of hard-restart?
Tesla seem to have this sorted. Maybe they will merge at some stage?

This is a New Zealand story and they're not getting away with this shit. Not in my country.

Speaker: Confessions of an Uber Driver…, in reply to BenWilson,
It could end up in an unassailable position, if it can get the drivers on its side. It's strange that it has absolutely no idea how to do that - I can only put it down to the erroneous idea that it is, in fact, a tech stock, which pretty much works like a tech company. It's not. It's a transport organization, and that works differently to how these Silicon Valley people think.
They are probably libertarians, then. You might be well placed to act as a bridge to the real world. Though I'm not sure they'd ever agree.

That research provides evidence that parties who cooperate before an election, rather than campaign completely independently, ultimately are more likely to win government. That’s a pretty good reason to formalize things.
So who in Labour decided to do the opposite before the 2014 election?

Hard News: Things that do us good and ill, in reply to Russell Brown,
It seems out of step with how we're supposed to look at healthcare these days.
In theory, yes. You'd be surprised how much lip service or plain ignoring still goes on.
