| 1388233 | 2014-11-18 02:48:00 | Don't I remember a while back people almost discounted National? A certain Mr Key brought them back from the Brash wastelands. He didn't look much up 'til then. Little can do little about his name, but if he is pragmatic he may be able to make Labour more relevent in todays dog eat dog NZ society. Time will tell, as they say. |

| 1388234 | 2014-11-18 03:17:00 | Nat for another 6 years at least. Labour needs to realize that & not replace their leader every 2 years. They also need someone with carisma, someone joe average would actually recognize in the street. Labour need to get away from extreme left politics, union led politics or the politics of constant whining. They need real, believable policies & solutions. No one believes theres a magic money tree any more, so policies that rely on it wont cut it. Putting out policies that dont add up monetarily makes them a joke. The voters who can put labour back into power are those in the middle . Unless they can win over many of those who voted Nat, they wont ever get back in. |

| 1388237 | 2014-11-18 06:09:00 | Gary, the election was two months ago. Get over it, you lost. Thrashed. If it's that hard to take maybe you should leave commenting here and go to the Standard with others of your political persuasion. Describing other New Zealand voters as 'looneys' does nothing for your image as an informed Labour voter either. I had a lot of respect and admiration for you when you were caving in Nelson, so don't just become an embittered commenter here because your party lost the election. Life goes on, so make the most of it. Good luck. | Richard (739) | ||

| 1388239 | 2014-11-18 06:57:00 | 'Looneys' is not the right word, but there is a certain comical naivete with a large portion of the electorate who can be fickle indeed. The 'Hollow Men' of the Brash era, in Nicky Hagar's book, referred to them as the 'chattering masses'. After having had a gutsful of 2 terms of Labour and 'Rogernomics', the chattering masses in 1990 thought that if they voted National somehow the nation would revert to the good old Mao days of Muldoonism. :clap They just didn't listen to what Ruth Richardson had been saying in the run up to the election, or didn't want to know. Of course National couldn't be upstaged by Labour being well to the right of them, so the chattering masses who rejected Douglas got their come uppance with the Bolger-Shipley era, Richardson and her 'mother of all budgets', massive spending cuts and 'Ruthenasia' instead of Rogernomics. :badpc: What a hoot. |

| 1388240 | 2014-11-18 07:03:00 | There is only one way to stop National: for Winnie the Pete to take over Labour! None of which JK has yet the looneys voted him in again In all honesty, he is the best of all candidates (only Winnie is awesomer), and after him I am sure Bill English will do a stellar job when it is his turn. As said, the election is over, Labour didn't lose they were utterly crushed and humiliated. You guys are showing signs of fanaticism, maybe you guys need to chill. |
