Hard News: The new establishment, in reply to Bart Janssen,
the route from the pink path down Nelson seems to lose it's way right at the end.

Hard News: Metiria's Problem, in reply to dave stewart,
might actually rake up even more support from sympathetic quarters
The electoral problem for their MOU partner is it's most likely to come from Labour's own left flanks, not increasing the overall left bloc vote beyond some previous non-voters whose current motivation levels have to last another 7 weeks.

Mike Munro, formerly Helen Clark's press secretary, has joined the Ardern team as strategic advisor
Great to see someone competent back in the role at last.

I doubt the electoral act breach was the crucial issue in Metiria being under pressure to walk the plank today.
Winz would never look kindly on living with your mother without declaring it - given their prevailing ethos now, let alone in the 90s. That's a breach they may still choose to prosecute and it should have been mentioned during the planned confession on stage.

Hard News: Metiria's Problem, in reply to Gerrit,
ALL parties we ill advised and MP's were ALL claiming the accommodation supplement wrongly
Yet nobody else requested more cleaning of their home on the public purse when on a handsome family income. That smaller expense offended me more at the time. Talk about troughing.

Bennett's circumstances
Wonder if she was even registered to vote at the time of allegations about living arrangements? Otherwise hard to get useful evidence without cooperation.

The arts are handy when a city's climate is so bad you have to spend most of the year indoors :)

Trump draws his support from rust belt blue collar workers
That has been debunked here many times over. Culturally-insecure white midlle class voters backed him, and a broken electoral system did the rest.

You think you can exclude Winston from the right bloc, Sacha?
Nope. But neither can I exclude him from a left coalition, and that's enough to win. Labour's chance of picking up enough votes in the next 7 weeks to be able to govern without Winnie seem close to zero to me.
