If one party in the coalition wants voting dominance then campaign on equality for all plus getting rid of the Waitangi Tribunal and the Māori electorates. Neither serves a useful purpose and both are well past their use by dates. It has to be ACT or NZ First, preferably both.
The media, in terms of objectivity and in depth journalism, is failing to fly. This needs to change and the only person who can bring it about is the minister.
Sorry Helen. Just like you didn’t win the Eden Park argument, you’re not going to win this one either. Sod off.
The Chamberlain strategy didn’t work then and it won’t work now. Peace through strength is what works and America has it in abundance.
Here in New Zealand, it’s ACT and NZ First who are set to benefit.
For too long the West and their economies, particularly in relation to defence, have fallen into something of a malaise. It has taken Trump with his threatening, bombastic, aggressive, direct and urgent approach, to cause the West to awaken from its slumber.
The dismantling of the Iranian regime will immediately end the war on terror, because the main supplier of that terror will not exist. This, more than anything else, is the key that will unlock the door for peace in the region.
Waitangi Day will never bring unity. New Zealand Day just might.
We need a return to patriotism and a country-first agenda and it is fairly obvious that that agenda will only come from parties on the right.
I have long been impressed with Giorgia Meloni as a strong leader. Her future moves both inside and outside the European Union will be worthy of close attention.
Unless the country is well and truly off its rocker, this election is done and dusted.
Trump the peacemaker is doing everything in his power to ensure that peace is a permanent reality. He should be applauded, not demonised.
Right now the political waters might look more like the Cook Strait on a bad day, but I think by election day the sun will be shining on the coalition.
The moral is to never let the left near the levers of power, or disaster will surely follow.
The end goal of all of this, in Trump’s mind, is to make the Western Hemisphere as democratic and as economically sound as possible. Personally, I don’t have a problem with that.
America has shown it can operate quickly, decisively and effectively when it comes to conducting military operations. We should all be thankful.
