Labor will win, no doubt, and rule without minor parties getting in their way/keeping the bastards honest.
The country is doomed - 'How to empty a country's koffers in ten easy lessons by Cindy 'I Buy Votes' Ardern'.
I voted. 'nuff said.

You got voting rights?
Jeebus, they must be giving them away to just anyone these days!!
:smile: Yes, as a PR - which is fairly well automatic with an Aussie passport, took me a year after applying after we arrived. Picking up my citizenship papers and passport end of this year. That makes it three passports and one PR. :smile:Quote:

Aside from the fact that it's a small airfield and the only planes that fly from this regional port are twin props . . . there is NO different class, not that we would have flown C for this anyway..Quote:

Sadly he now posts his shit in every thread whereas other halfwits limit themselves to the DH, which is where he belongs
I am somewhat annoyed that as a NZ citizen, I cannot vote. I haven't been back to NZ for over three years and that disqualifies me.Quote:

For what it is worth, I would have vote yes to both referendums and probably voted National.
One of the finest sets of Nags teeth I have seen outside the equine world. No idea what her policies are, except to flash them. Shame, she'd make a great Potus.

The Aussies have already claimed her. Her popularity across the ditch is higher than it is in NZ.

I'm not questioning your knowledge, this is what's on the site.
If a resident or citizen has not stepped foot in New Zealand for over three years the person is ineligible to vote.
Probably not. After the Key years and with Judith Collins now in charge and that waste of space Gerry Brownlee as possible deputy PM, no way I could tick National.Quote:

She has a great PR machine.Quote:

Nick Smith out in Nelson and the awful Gerry Brownlee gets voted out in Ilam.
:bananaman:
Fucking ACT looks to get 8% though. Bastards.
Yea . . . not a good thing. Every large party needs a smaller one to keep it honest . . . get ready for tax hikes, inflation up the wazoo, price increases, more regional taxes, higher petrol taxes, more strikes and the resulting pay increases etc etc . . .Quote:

Not a good place for the future and another 20% of the population will flee to Australia again after covid has been dealt with
