These fuckers really are on a speed run to be the first single term government we've had since the 70s.

And being told you have to deal with two hours of commuting because a bunch of Cafés are struggling must feel great, too.

I really hope you’re right, and some of their rushed decisions make it seem like they think the same, but National is still polling 10% higher than Labour.

Which really is a stunning failure on their behalf, it reminds me of Hilary losing to Trump. Absolutely amazing.

Next election is shaping up to be another giant douche vs turd sandwich affair.

I know your reflex is to spew hatred towards labour and blame them for everything but the problem is really with you and people like you.

The public is the blame for their opinions and actions. The fact is that the public actually supports and enjoys everything National is doing. They want to hurt the poor, they want to hurt the Maori, they want to hurt immigrants, they want privatised healthcare and education system.

The country is going to shit because the decent people have left the country. What remains are the dregs.
