Bryce Edwards is the latest media luvvie to have a crack at the negotiations like a petulant child, except this time he is attacking Christopher Luxon for an apparent lack of skill in negotiating. The media speculation is starting to get tiresome.
It is even more tiresome when Edwards references the ultimate petulant sulky child, Matthew Hooton. He is bitching about Christopher Luxon too, but remember this was the fool who told us that Todd Muller was going to be not only a brilliant leader of the National Party, but also the next Prime Minister. Muller then imploded in spectacular fashion, directly contributing to National’s drubbing in the 2020 election.
Neither of these clowns has bothered to note that it is a mere two weeks since the final votes were known after the special votes were counted.
Are they suggesting that National and Act should have negotiated a majority agreement BEFORE all the votes were counted?
This behaviour by media and commenters does not bode well for the future of any semblance of unbiased reporting. It’s quite pathetic really.
Naturally, they are all blaming Winston Peters for this set of circumstances, mainly because they have a pathological hatred of Peters and have a proven track record of their loathing. Anything they say should be tempered against that background.
Much and all as I enjoy kicking Luxon in the balls, this time I cannot see any merit in the arguments. It’s only been two weeks; that’s nothing. They are nearly there so what is a few more days?
It seems that these arbitrary deadlines and timeframes are because the media fools are being locked out of any inkling of what is going on by the three leaders, meeting on private premises at different locations. The media darlings can’t rely on their treasonous snitches and shadowy leakers, and that is a fine thing.
Patience is a virtue, and the media seem to have none. Meanwhile, the rest of the country, other than the political tragics, are getting on with life irrespective of whether we have a government sworn in or not.
