Voting logic

Here's my unbalanced and partisan opinion.

Labour cannot be trusted. They have proved it time & time again.

National CAN be trusted - to fuck things up. Remember the 1990s? (Shit, remember Muldoon?)

Act are dead. Good thing too.

Maori I'm unsure of - Pita Sharples is very much on to it, but Turiana Turia is a flake.

New Zealand First are Winston fuckin' Peters's party. Say no more.

VOTE GREEN. It's the only way, unless you're a cnut.

If you're registered in Wellington Central, vote Labour for the electorate vote (unless you're stupid enough to want that idiot ex-shoesalesman as your representative), but VOTE GREEN FOR THE PARTY VOTE.

Speaking of that old sleaze, reckon there's any truth in the theory that he really was assaulted, that the police know who did it, and that he's keen to keep it quiet because the guy who assaulted him was being cuckolded by him?

Problem is, Mark Blumsky's so oily that it could be a total lie and still seem more believable than any other story...

I'm still trying to remember if Blumsky mixed political advertising with shoe advertising during his first campaign for mayor - I remember thinking there was something dodgy about one or other with his spots on 91ZM, but didn't really press it. It didn't occur to me till much later that it might've been legally questionable, by which time I couldn't remember whether he really had taken liberties with his allotted time for political advertising, and it was all History anyway...

I don't think I can bear to give labour even my candidate vote. Well, I did once upon a time, but that was to vote for Steve Chadwick, and it was worth it to get rid of the previous f*%#w%t for Rotovegas. Not that it stopped him from getting in on list votes. Sigh.

Anyway, the JAAM launch was fun. Small, but the crostini were excellent. Or was. Er... a few poets read, and I met some cool people.

Is that theory or gossip? 'Cos I'd heard some gossip which, while still prurient, involves him being assaulted by a female.

Mark "Mr Eyebrows" Blumsky will be probably be in Parliament, regardless of the result of Wellington Central (unless National's vote falls back to 2002 levels).

Vote Mike Appleby! Old stoners never die!

And as for the 'gossip', I reckon Blumsky's just shown what a skilled politician he really is. I mean, I wish I could've profited so much from the times I got drunk and fell down stairs.

Interesting your comments and the general perception of Pita Sharples.He is not what you and all the others around believe. In addition to being an "academic" and never having been in the real world like Helen Clark and most of the othet no hopers in the Labour Party, Sharples is a wife beater.that is correct, a wife beater.
