Hard News: The positive option of Red Peak, in reply to Rob S,
I can't see a flag change occurring.
Never a realistic prospect.
This has been a stuff up from the get go.
Depends what you think the intent was. Seen much discusssion about housing, jobs or the exchange rate lately?

Hard News: Friday Music: If DJ was your trade, in reply to Russell Brown,
That's not to say DJing isn't an art too – look at people like Derrick Carter
amazing live. can get away with being cocky if you are actually that good at it.

Danyl sees an upside.
One of the defining moments in John Key’s rise to popularity as opposition leader was when he made a deal with Helen Clark to support the Bradford smacking amendment. Key ‘rescued’ Clark, much to the outrage of National Party partisans, but he also transformed himself from an opposition leader to a potential Prime Minister. The public isn’t really interested in politicians yelling nonsense at each other.

The Greens ‘did’ something, which is hard to do in opposition and some persuadable voters will give them points for it. -
Idiot/Savant chimes in on the politics.
the Greens have consistently supported the flag process from the beginning (while trying to improve it, as is their way).
That's obviously not Labour's position. Big deal. They're different parties, so they disagree. And if Labour were adults, they'd accept that and move on to talking about how they can work together on the huge areas of political ground where they do agree. The fact that they can't, and that they're still demanding absolute subservience from their potential partners, is exactly why they're unfit to be in government. Because if you can't handle your party relationships in opposition, you're sure as shit not going to be able to do it when in office.

Field Theory: It's about time, in reply to Hadyn Green,
To be fair the NZRU asked to have the naming at parliament.
And you reckon they would have done that unless they already knew the answer was 'yes'?

Its ironic, that the opposition didn’t take a less is more better design approach, and do absolutely nothing. The national party should have been let to hover itself down a black hole over this.
You would think so. They can't seem to resist the prospect of publicity, even the bad sort.
