Get the popcorn ready.

When the country needs solid stewardship we get big talk but underperformance and back stabbing.

'No coup happening': Bishop responds to reports Luxon faces possible challenge this fortnight

EXCLUSIVE: Plotters say they would prefer the PM step aside to avoid an outright coup.

Wasn't this supposed to be happening be before Christmas, then after Christmas, then a few weeks ago and now within the next fortnight? I'm guessing if you throw enough shit at the wall, sooner or later something will stick.

But, as you say, get the popcorn ready because, although it seems the coalition may be forming the next government, some in the Nats are apparently upset that there may be a swing towards NZF (I could potentially live with that) and ACT (heaven help us all) and some lower on the Nats list may miss out.

Not sure of the outcome but when these things start to pick up momentum there's usually a reason.

I find it interesting that the media keep bringing this up as, if Labour lose the next election, Chippy will be the first Labour leader since Bill Rowling to lose two elections in a row. But the silence from the media about Chippy makes you think he's untouchable.

TBH, neither party have outstanding "replacements" for leader in their ranks.... but I that's pretty much the standard of most, if not all politicians, these days.

Current system..... increase the numbers.... increase their pay.... decrease the standard.

Solution.... cut the numbers down.... increase their pay.... increase the standard.

Pretty much my thoughts Miket12
Double the salary and halve the numbers
Cut down the bs we have in parliamentary speeches and get away from system were every single outlier politician has to be heard before a decision is made when the outcome was never going to change

Be interesting to see how Taine Randell goes down in HB. Maybe, he's Winnies succession plan now that Nash has fallen from grace (again).
