Is Manasseh Sogovare Ungrateful, Greedy, or Just Playing Us All?
So recently the Solomon Islands signed an agreement with China on “law enforcement and security matters”. It’s also right on the 20th anniversary of Australia and New Zealand bailing the Solomons out of a massive civil war. From 1998 to 2003 the Solomon Islands were…

Why a change of Government would be a bad thing – school lunches
I appreciate that the last week has been tough for leftie activists. Chris Hipkins' unilateral ruling out meaningful change to the tax system has caused a number of us to take a deep breath. The Labour Party needs to work though this and see if…

How Hipkins Can Still Win
Hipkins being himself is his election-winning attribute. It’s never going to be about policy, nerdlove the old manifestos as one might. 2023 is a presidential contest of personality and believable leadership traits. We haven’t seen Chris Hipkins and Chris Luxon side by side and it's…

Act clearly wants to nurture hate and division in its pursuit of political support. And hot on its suggestion that young offenders who commit serious offences should be forced to wear ankle bracelets they now say that their support for increasing the age for youth…

Decoding the Doorstep: Insights from Canvassing Uxbridge and South Ruislip
Originally posted on Nick Kelly's blog I spent the last UK General Election canvassing in Uxbridge, trying to unseat the then Prime Minister Boris Johnson. In the 25 years I've been politically active, this was the second most depressing canvassing session I had been to.*…

NZ’s Mission in Vilnius – “to defeat Russia.” Really?
The prime minister stated in his speech last week our objective in the war in Ukraine was to aid Ukraine "to defeat Russia." I couldn't believe what I was hearing - that's a declaration of nuclear World War III! Even the US neocons think its…

James Shaw, co-leader of the Green Party, gave a speech at the party's AGM yesterday. Text of speech is here, video is embedded below. There's this hangover from our old First Past the Post electoral system that you have to be the government to effect…

The very strange election campaign
Probably like the rest of you I find politics really weird right now. Parliamentary Team Labour are not helping. Too many of them are making unforced silly errors. Third termitis, where people are too tired to respond effectively, has started to hit in the second…
