Nailed it Russell.
We seem to have here on the whole very well meaning citizens who seem to have no real knowlegde of how their government works and an inconsitency in attributing blame when talking of the historical and current political right/ left slugfest.
Under that their is an underbelly of whatever "the kiwi way" is supposed to be.

Footballs trying to come home.

How hard is it to be a footballer in New Zealand. Fucking fantastic, we have enough talent here to be in the top 20 one day.
Rugby is in the blood, rugby is tattoed on my soul , the all blacks losing hurts but football is a war in 90 minutes, it brings out the tribal. Football is the world game.

I can't help seeing the extreme with that other finance minister we had, ya know the guy who owned practically nothing, the Cullen guy. ....he would of have been pillored for anything like this.
IMHO Bill seems such a lovely guy but he's such an unknown quantity.

It's like when Micheal Jackson started calling himself "the king of pop".

He has earned the moniker of “Minister for Ratepayers” for his determination to crack down on red tape and needless bureaucracy, and because of his focus on the rights of ratepayers and residents, rather than councils.
There's something so wrong about this?

Obama wants forced drugging... i didn't know that. I'm against that.
No way. I want to take drugs when I want . Everyone knows Hiltler toked up Frankfurt on a whim and Stalin put LSD in the Kremlin watercooler for kicks. Thank god for these teabaggers

It is actually possible to follow some of the core beliefs of the left (e.g. equality, helping others) while adhering to some on the right (e.g. self responsibility, individualism).
Alright brother it's your summation then. It's still poor.It is a disservice to characterise the left as being deficient in individualism and self responsibility.
But to be fair to you what do you like about the present right wing administration that you couldn't find in the labour party and relate it to self responsibility and individualism?

The centre is just a concept that was thought up to sell newspapers.
Sure it's not a feature of MMP?
Sure, good point....and my point was lazy. Interestingly IMO our history of MMP has thrown up only one term that could really be called centre left, the one that destroyed the national party vote in 2002 and lead to the search that threw up donny b and johnny k .
Of course our particualr MMP system has some basic problems still.For example the ACT party , in a proportional sense have no right to be stronger electorally than New Zealand First given last years results.
