but it would seem this government is capable of much the same arrogance as the late-stage labour government was.
I never saw Clark as arrogant.
I saw her as competent and intelligent and with geniune leadership talent.After Muldoon,Douglas, Lange, McClay, Richardson, Bolger, Brash, Moore, Shipley I saw her as a breathe of fresh air.

I think what is shows is that most people are ill-informed idiots who like to be spoon-fed conclusions
As oppossed to well educated idiots. Ill-informed is the key phrase here. Goff needs to get Obamafied and start using information as a weapon. We don't have to have predestrian oppositions just because it took the previous one 9 years to win an election.

Actually it was 8 and 3/4 years of economic growth, followed by 3 months of economic collapse. But apologising for being in government when a global financial crisis hits would appear trite.
Absolutely , Labour collapsed nothing

Let's take the EFA.
It was drawn up in response to utter fucking vileness at the 2005 election. It was drawn up in response to a national party who fucked with the basic fairness of our electoral landscape.
It is an unfinished programme to get fairness back into politics, especially concerning the dominance of big money in the production of our own grand old party.
It's handicaps are unknown to me, usually a calculated handicap results in a burdon of defeat. How were National handicapped by the EFA?
AND yet the exclusive bretheren fiasco was a disgusting handicap to the centreleft.

In other words. Why fight over lightbulbs when it will potentially cost you an election even if you're right.
Because you could actually win votes with logical policy. It's 2009, we area few steps down a death spiral to the end of sustainable economies with global warmimg. We have a declining standard of living. We have no vision beyond 2011 apart from a cycleway.
..but lets be honest Goff wrote a speech for Fran O Sullivans and their science challenged minds.

"haters and wreckers"?,
Go on.

Goff needs to start setting the record straight on the last Labour government .The record in the context of the array governments that proceeded them since 1975 is was pretty fucking impressive on many fronts including 9 years of economic growth.
You were the natural party of government for nearly a decade , a legacy impressive enough to be copied by national party strategists in that this first term National Government knows that the famed mainstream voter liked Clarks sense of fairness enough for 3 succesisve election victories.

'we'll do whatever we think is right and anyone who doesn't agree can go fuck themselves'
It strikes me that we have an array of political commentators across spectrums that have personal issues with the labour movement because that comment is utter rubbish.
-
It was a speech that was aimed for the politically simplistic and squeally minds of Guyon Espinor and friends
Goff would have been a lot smarter to actually attack the cheapness of such empty words as "nannystate", "politically correct" and " social engineering."
We need adult politics.

but of course it's the dawning of the age of solution and he'll almost certainly win this* , obama has great long game.
