Comment about Maharey: For the past five months he’s been stuck in a strange hinterland between the two jobs.

‘Strange hinterland’ — what one with two public tits to suck on?

Thank god Rich is retiring, the fact that Phool thinks she is good value only confirms that she (Rich) was always in the wrong party.

Rich is and will always be a socialist who mistakenly found her way into the National party, she will be no great loss.

One hardworking National MP unjustly driven from public life by Leftists…

One craven Labour MP scuttling away to hide in the filthy roach-motel of intellectually barren academia…

We need more of the second and less of the first.

ne..he/she’s not ..stephen..

the level of disconnect in the pushmestrokeyougently..

..is woundrous to behold..

..the fact rich was repulsed/revolted by the vile racist/benificiary-bashing campaigns of brash..

and filled with dismay at how her colleagues ‘joined in’..

..is beyond pushmestrokeyougentlys’ ‘ken’..eh..?

..(he/she is a laff..!..tho’..eh..?..)

the reason why i had optimism for/about rich..is because she seemed to come from that old school/holyoake model of national..

..the model that believed care/support for the weakest/poorest/most-in-need was a tenet of conservatism..not ‘galloping communism’..

..the model of national that thought ‘conserving’ meant for all..

..the complete opposite of the state-asset-flogging/privatising/environment trshing pissing on the poorest/weakest bunch of self-serving wide-boy spivs ratbags who have captured national..

..and have turned it into a party that would have many old-skool conservatives rolling in/rearing up from..their graves..

..when i first saw her and tanczos..i saw two people who could lead their parties..

..and who..in those circumstances..could have worked together well for the betterment of all..

’tis a shame..!..and our loss..

..that that could not be..

Philu, you missed the point that Katherine is a very attractive woman.
Yep, a pity if she believes that the Nats have just got too narrow for any
minds that do not go with the majority in the party.
Oh, great comment about socialists, big bruve, amusing how so many of the
free market types now believe in corporate welfare.

hear hear to that! A more inspired National and a Bradford-less Green party could have been great for the country.
