He’s got a point, in my view. They’ve been losing ministers left, right, and centre lately, and I don’t think it will get better bringing TPM into the relationship.

    Well it’s not like National ever lost a minister or had chaos when they were running the government right?

    His government will be as stable has he has been. That is wobbling all over the place, saying one thing one day and the opposite the next, and generally being an unlikable, fundamentalist, bigoted prick.

        This is weird, this comment has shown up as a reply to a few different comments. What a strange bug.

    Maybe…

    But stability for stabilitys sake may not be what you really want.

    If a national or act MP was driving drunk, I would expect there to be consequences.

    I can imagine what they would have said if nothing came of the Kiri Allen situation…

      Oh, her staying would have been a terrible option for sure.

    Sounds like we need an “nz-joke” Community - clearly that’s what this is!

      I’m not sure exactly what your point is there.

    That’s pretty easy to say when it won’t be election year for the first two years of the term.

    And all your MPs will be white men who don’t experience consequences.

      National has booted a few white men from the party in recent years for poor behaviour, what are you on about?

    Stability doesn’t make up for things like ignoring their own advisors when the evidence clashes with their ideals. That’s how we got climate change.
