People who for employment must write a certain number of words about a topic of their own choosing every week tend towards speciousness

For changing votes on the same side, there’s actually a p strong case to be made for Nats voting Goldie in Epsom

Actual smart strategic votes: Hutt: Labs vote Bish to continue bipartisanship in infra & (to lesser extent) RM reforms Wgtn Bays: Grns vote Renney, to pull Labour left; Nats vote JAG to avoid Willis bp rise Mt Albert: Nats vote White to keep Opp out

Love that we're up 1-0 but it feels like we're holding on for dear life to keep it that way. #NEWvWEL

Imagine being Paul Goldsmith and spending a lifetime promoting Don Brash through hagiographies etc and then he won’t even endorse you when it benefits the right political bloc.

David Seymour says he only approved of the vote splitting campaign on the condition that Don Brash also place an ad pushing for people to candidate vote for ACT in Epsom and Tamaki

A former National MP has joined the board of the Opportunity Party, saying the party she once represented in Parliament and supported for 50 years has “absolutely lost their way”.

Oh god is Trump going to start talking about Ossoff’s ass now? Perhaps comparing his to Husted’s? Good lord.

Replying to @dieworkwear
This appears to be a recurring problem for Ossoff, which suggests that his backside is larger and rounder than what most brands account for in their trouser patterns — even with them building a longer back rise for the higher-end of this spectrum.

If the structural factors are what define the map of possible overhang outcomes, these two variables (right-left and Nat-AT/NZF) describe our position on it.

Out now, a follow up on why we think an overhang for National is highly likely and what impact it has. Starting with the structural drivers of National's advantage. Even when tied nationally, National lead the party vote in 39 seats vs Labour's 32.

Oh FFS. He used to be a serious person. Who looks at Pete Hegseth and thinks ‘yeah man, that’s what we need’. I have a good friend in the Army who is gay. He has had a lot of challenges as it is without this false virtue signalling bullshit.

Praise for Luxo: his full-throated opposition to the vote-splitting overhang plan is genuine and principled and shows a commitment to democratic legitimacy that goes beyond the base self-interest of getting the govt reelected at any cost Big challenge if the overhang returns him

They are often venal, foolosh, and insincere, they have often fallen into the tar-pit of imbecile reactionary populism, allowed themselves to be rolled over by their more cynical partners and waved through a lot of monstrous lies to keep the peace. But they believe in something

It would be the easiest thing for Luxo to simply give in to the YOLO reactionaries who have convinced themselves that democracy is rigged and that the right must go all-in on corrupting it for venal advantage. The MAGA/Reform agenda But he didn't and that's worth praising
