Hard News: Art with a job to do, in reply to Alec Morgan,
classic manufacturing consent is not conspiracy but a conscious strategy, and the PM has been at it again today with what I’d call dissing the RSA, there are free flags available on request (the two top polling ones currently) for those interested to fly them before referendum #2, I would not be surprised if Nat branches distribute them in bulk, stage 2 of the flag fiasco process will be on full turbo boost shortly
+ this household.

No more than Qantas would stop being an airline if it flew aircraft with white tails. It would find its job considerably harder though.
So, a corporate logo it is then? The Flag is a logo. This new National blue logo is devoid of any other identity. Oh toss in the new interpretation of the stars and we got the alliance with USA instead of Britain, of course, now I geddit.

(One finds a similar attitude in beer snobs.)
Oh fufuxache! Sometimes it's refreshing to engage one's brain when deciding if the beer at hand is desirable. Should we just all stand in a row and shout "Lager, Lager Lager" ? You may wannabe a lout..... we need more of that yeah?

After all, you only do this once.
See, you geddit. I believe as Alec Morgan said, an attempt at manufactured consent. Your suggestions as to how to do it fairly and for all, just doesn't work when trying to manipulate thought. This is how we end up with a corporate logo. Julie Christie will be so proud, will dine out on it for months,will probably get her some more work.She's sooo suck sess full! (bucket needed)
Got some great comments here todai. Dalziel and the fern analogy ,just perfect. -

I suppose the idea of still flying it no matter, and good on you for that, (it is nice to look at), is in and of itself a protest vote. It would seem it has been a protest flag all along which is why it couldn't win.Why the Key had to comment about beating it as soon as voting was in. He was about as subtle as tossing a bobby calf. (too soon?)

Hard News: Dirty Politics, in reply to izogi,
if it’s even possible without multipartisan support, but the risk in this is that it confuses constitutional change for transparency and robust good government with ideological partisan meddling.
MMP= Give and take, just some will give more and others will take more.
MMP= Life, many muddling people. -

. I really struggle to understand the mentality of saying that about a guy who so constantly writes disgusting, inflammatory and cruel things, sometimes in exchange for money and sometimes to get attention.
People in the links above show the circular fashion of Drury, Henderson, Buxton, Hide, and around to slimebag. Drury comment of "good challenging discussions" may have an emphasis on "challenging" but yes who knows why people delve there. I must admit I once worked for him, but not long after I left , one night at Cin Cin ,he didn't know me from a bar of soap. His wife chose to ignore me.
If he’s a business man, how is that good business? Why would anyone want to publicly admit to this, unless they’re an idiot, let alone a highly influential figure with the reputation of their business on the line?
I don't know either but John Key had the slime on speed dial. Judith "I'm back " Collins is his family friend. The Minister of Police and Justice let's all know she likes the slime who we now know just how much she likes and trusts slime. This corupt woman's got the highest office of law and enforcement as her plaything now. I think it's more sinister than them being an idiot. I'd watch her next move and closely. She will now make someone pay.
Until now, I’d thought of Xero as quite a neat and successful company that employs more than a few of my friends. Now I’m struggling to avoid seeing it as the product of the type of sewer dweller I detest
Well yes, I think one has to be able to separate many things in big business . Hell, John Key had a job before the National Party and there is probably many who worked with him that didn't like or agree with anything he did but did work with him in for example Merrill Lynch. "Smiling assassin " isn't really a title deserving of a well liked person. Your ethics sound commendable to me but the reality is your friends probably need a job and money wins over ethics. That's not to say you now don't have a topic worthy of discussing with your friends. Go for it. I'd love to hear their responses given what you now know or think. National always have jobs for the boys, National have for a long time had the Slaters. National voters still vote for National, therefore National voters vote for Slaters inclusion. That's the "sunlight".

If he were quiet, people might at least have assumed he was simply ignorant about where the advertising $$$ were going.
If he were quiet, he would be hiding something, that he appears noisy to you probably suggests a bit about his ego. He’s a business man through and through.The bottom dollar rules and no doubt readers in that “sump” pit have dollars to spend also. National have laid bare that the likes of Drury are able to apply for state funding and more often than not, will get preference.In NZ we have proof (thanks Nicky) that there are underhand tactics used to denigrate and ruin peoples lives and once achieved, a bunch of arseholes will get together to pat each other on the back and say ,we won, which, I think is all it is. Winning is everything at whatever the cost. In an ideal situation I imagine Drury can and should cut slimey one down.
When reputation is everything for businessmen, they can’t afford to let slime get in the way. Well that’s if they are sensible. Trouble with the more right leaning, ego can come first. -
Envirologue: Too Big to Fail – Why…, in reply to Ian Dalziel,
The old “If I don’t do it, some one else will, so I may as well do it
John Key managed to say exactly that to the Green Party yesterday in Question time.
With Paula Bennett becoming Mincer for Climate change , her appointment to be is off to a great start
