Agreed, although if he manages to keep Labour/Green out, wouldn't that be doing God's work?

Possibly best not to get me started on the existance of god. Politics AND religion in a debate. Sounds like a nightmare dinner party!
If he kept L/G out I would still think he was a misogynist, fundamentalist bigot.
The question arises - Is Labour sane? Are they going to abolish democracy?

Maybe that's not a policy that will fly. I knew you guys would have something to say about it though, that's the amusing bit.
One thing Labour should have as a policy, that goes right to the core of Labour values, is to promise to go into the Pike River Mine and recover the miners, should they get elected. The current situation is a prime example of the private sector washing its hands of the responsibility, there's no chance of a profit there, so they're not going to do it. The Labour ethos is that government will step in to help fix this situation for the families involved. What kind of a country do we have, what sort of a culture, if we just leave them down there.
Had to laugh reading this on Stuff this morning
" Labour added to its woes yesterday claiming in a press release it had 15 female MPs in its 34 MP line-up. It actually has only 14, even after the addition of Ikaroa-Rawhiti MP Meka Whaitiri.
Even the insiders are getting confused who in the caucus is male and who is female so not much chance of them getting their 50% right :p
Maybe Grant Robertson is considered female?
The same culture that leaves a few hundred thousand bodies in the sands of Gallipoli and fields all over europe. The remains are just that - dacayed remains of corpses - What sane society would risk the lives of others just to remove this stuff to cemeteries or ash urns or whatever when the vast amount of monies involved could better be used on the health and welfare of the living?
