What happens if there is no overhang and the left and right get 60 seats each? That is possible with polling so close.
Lairbour and the nats will agree on more things than the rest combined. If push came to shove, or they are both that desperate, they will form that coalition long touted by some.
This is known as a worst case scenario.
Do not forget that woman standing beside Hipkins in the above image is also right in the thick of it with the Opportunity Party.
Who wears the pants in that relationship?
And she’s got one of those wall hangings around her neck.
It’s complicated. Won’t happen if TPM win an electorate seat.
“If the left and right blocks both secure exactly 60 seats in a 120-seat parliament, New Zealand faces a hung parliament, and the sitting Prime Minister remains in office in a caretaker capacity while political parties engage in coalition negotiations to form a majority government.
Because New Zealand operates under the Mixed Member Proportional (MMP) voting system, a government needs a majority (typically 61 seats out of 120) to comfortably pass legislation and survive votes of no confidence. [1, 2, 3]
Here is exactly what happens next under the Cabinet Manual guidelines:
1. The Caretaker Convention Triggers Immediately
2. Intense Coalition Negotiations Begin
There’s more if you want to look it up
Thank you. I assume that if no agreement can be found, there will be a new election.
One party would only need one elected MP to jump ship to form a government!!!
Each party pairs with a representative from the other party and they fight to the death – the 60 remaining alive at the end form our new government regardless of party alliance.
Or it that just wishful thinking?
poor chuck dosent grasp the fact nz is fucked no matter who wins the election.
And your downvoters don’t want to admit it.
Good morning. Here is your Communist of the Day:

Thank you – it’s now considered such a small, unimportant, and indeed irrelevant detail, that the NZMSM don’t even consider telling us about it, whereas 60 years ago (During the Cold War) it would have been shouted from the rooftops and on all the media.

There’s a woman in Wellington who does similar.
At least you cannot blame AI or Trump for that Video.

we’re more special then that mate. we’re so specially retarded we returned to nz. at least here we dont stand out, sux tho cuz that means we’re normal… like you, and not special
Oh you are special. No doubt about that.
That screwed up grimace smile on the first photo definitely has a punch me face doesn’t he. Not sure if that is his current or ex beside him with the Temu tiki, couldn’t have a bigger one or it might give the little twerpt an inferiority complex.
That’s the current one (for now), but it’s the squinting while wearing sunglasses on top of the head which demonstrates his intellect.

Candace Kinser, National for Auckland Central
This video shares a little of my personal story, why I am standing as National’s candidate, and the Auckland Central I believe we can build together.
New Zealand took a chance on me, I took a chance on New Zealand, and now I want to help create an electorate where people feel safe, businesses flourish, young people see a future here, and every community has a strong voice.

Candace for PM.
There should be a bill board with Hipkins lied about the Vaccines. How anyone can vote for a proven liar on a fairly significanyt issue is beyond me. Labour voters obviously don’t value truth.
you do realise all politicians are proven liars right? all on fairly significant things and most on the exact same issue you losers still bleat on about.
You are expecting them to be concerned about facts rol. They will never let facts get in the way of their feelings.

One of Einstein’s students asked him, “What does logic mean?”
Einstein replied: “I’ll answer you with a question. Suppose two workers go down a chimney to clean it. One comes out with a dirty face and the other with a clean face. Who will go and wash their face?”
The student replied immediately and without hesitation: “Of course, the one with the dirty face.”
Einstein replied: “Your answer is incorrect. The one who washes their face is the one who has a clean face, because they have looked at their colleague’s face and assumed theirs was also dirty. The one who has a dirty face does not wash their face, thinking it is clean like their colleague’s.”
The student said: “That’s true and logical.”
Einstein replied: “No, that’s not true because the question itself is illogical. It’s not logical that two men would enter the same chimney at the same time and one would come out clean and the other dirty.”
It’s just like the covid injectees being afraid of getting covid from the unvaxed when they were supposed to be protected from the disease by their own vax. There were plenty of those.
With faults Martin Bradbury is generously endowed but he has a firm grasp of the damage 4th wave feminism, PC & social engineering has wrecked on Labour. From https://thedailyblog.co.nz/the-left-need-to-win-back-male-voters-the-middle-class-woke-drove-into-the-arms-of-the-toxic-masculinity-reactionary-right/
#. “The extremes of the middle class woke cancel culture social media Lynch mobs of 2016-2020 handed over enormous political ammunition to the reactionary Right that has created a toxic culture war backlash of grievance and ignorance.”

Waitakere Man has moved on & shows no inclination to return to Left wing parties controlled by unhinged feminists & gender confused freaks. Those who once screeched ‘all men are rapists’ now need his vote but he’s gone.
Politicians are like nappies. They should be changed often, and for the same reason.
opinions are much the same
Especially some of yours.😇
I’ll second that.
To be fair, he does occasionally get it right.
Last time was in 1896
all of ours.
It’s ok, I was trying to be generous when I said some.
still better then vikeys Ai or your bogus x stuff. even jacinda wasnt as full of shit as that!
Next time you plug in your John Deere, the AI will have noted your disparagement of its superb abilities, and your tractor will never be the same again.
What you missed is that AI learns from everything on the internet, so it probably already has a humungous file on your ravings.
Nothing you can do about that.
But it remembers for when its needed.
the internet is 90% bullshit and gossip… thats why your ai is so fucking shit.
National’s commits to no new taxes for working people, won’t go further
Nicola Willis has promised no new taxes for working people if National is re-elected in November, but won’t rule out upping taxes in other parts of the economy.
“Listen to me very carefully. No new taxes on working people, no tax increases for working people,” she said.
“The full National Party plans will be released in a campaign sequence, and what New Zealanders can expect is no new taxes on their work and no increases to taxes on their savings, their investments, or their capital.”
She and leader Christopher Luxon refused to answer questions about where they would be open to upping their tax take – although Willis indicated small businesses would also be safe.
https://www.stuff.co.nz/politics/361017809/national-target-debt-surplus-and-government-spending-if-re-elected?fbclid=IwY2xjawTkosVwZG9mBWV4dG4DYWVtAjEwAGJyaWQRMXZaMFFyd1Q2ejg4VTJNTWVzcnRjBmFwcF9pZBAyMjIwMzkxNzg4MjAwODkyAAEej7rZx4RqoxtBCSg0w9V3t_FJIa29ysv8xqzWWicrwR9PT18Qqe_z3dY5qmU_aem_uEkWgpoQXqQP8S4iy0ZGbg
Tax is still on the table
Asked about taxes, Luxon and Willis were unable to to rule out any new ones next term – although they did specify there would be no tax increases for working people or small businesses.
“What I’m saying to you, we’ll have a tax policy come out. But just be under no illusion … we are the responsible guys. We are the party of low tax. That’s what we believe. You should keep more of your own money, rather than give it to a government like the Labour government to go and waste, as we have just experienced,” Luxon said.
He did not say when the tax policy will be released.
On the planned fuel tax increase – which is currently set for January – Willis said Cabinet has still not made a decision despite previously saying it is “highly unlikely” that it will go ahead.
“We’ve previously said that that’s something we have under active review, given the oil shock in the Middle East, and we will have more to say about that ahead of the pre-election fiscal update,” she said.
Meanwhile National’s coalition partner ACT has issued a statement saying National’s promises are three years too late.
“Reducing spending to 30% of GDP sounds impressive, but Grant Robertson spent only 28% in his first two budgets before he lost all control during COVID. Today the Government is spending 32.6% of GDP, and isn’t forecast to go below 30% this decade,” Seymour said.
He said the ACT Party has a “proven track record” of saving taxpayers’ money.
“National wanted to spend $380 on a medical school, we negotiated it down to $80 million. They wanted to spend $250 million on electric car chargers, we got it down to a repayable loan of $60 million. … Without ACT, the taxpayer would be on the hook for billions more, but even more savings are needed.”
“Listen to me very carefully….” Nicola —there is a real chance you may not have job after November 7.
No1 on the list, so will still be paid by the taxpayer but could well be in charge of the nappy brigade.
Iran’s economy has collapsed due to Trump’s oil blockade. It’s a financial mess with different parts of the regime owing each other $billions. The IRGC military take priority for any available funds

and america is fine 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
the iran regime will still outlast the trump regime
Not at their current attrition rate. And never forget that the IRGC are only a small portion of the population. The Persians are the bigger number, and they will eventually have revenge. That day is not far away.
ok vivi/vikenyahu 🤣.
theyve supposedly been on the verge of collapse since before trump even fucked with the place.
youll be long dead before iran sees regime change and peace in the middle east.
at least ill probs see the greatest day in human history… when israel gets obliterated by nukes.
inshallah
That’s Iran’s plan actually.
NZ (2017) civil service muster – 47,000
NZ (2023) civil service muster – 65,000
And yet everything is worse.
Not everything is worse. It takes people to run hospitals and the police and look after prisons and all those things. Doc and other govt. departments need people.
What matters is the cost and the return.
In the case of police, there is evidence daily of the return; the hospitals are getting on top of some of their workload. Remember that workload is there because the citizenry want these things done. The alternative is not to do them.
The issue is more about removing the things that create that need and the things that are wasted costs, such as 75000 unemployed young people.
That, in my opinion, is one of the most easily solved problems, and its no use blaming those same people and telling them to go to work. They are excluded by rules set by the government. If you are around family, you will find this out.
The difference between a wizard & a priest is that one wears robes & speaks in strange languages.
The other casts spells.

JUST IN: Iran’s Supreme National Security Council says the Strait of Hormuz will not fully reopen until the United States “corrects its behavior,” including ending all threats against Iran, lifting the naval blockade, withdrawing troops, paying compensation, and ending sanctions.
Yeah right.
trump can threaten bigly but his military dudes let the cat outve the bag theyre running low on firecrackers. im guessing babylon bee has got a more accurate response… mildly aggressive fury

Us Military: ” I have an idea, lets tell the world exactly how much ammunition we have. As they say, all is fair in love and war and we want to be seen as being “kind”. …Look I am no fan of the USA, its caused too much shit in the world since God knows when. But, when it comes to firing high explosives at IRGC nutters, I LOOOOOOOVE them. And in a fire fight, I’d rather be on their side than the receiving end.
And like they’re really going to tell us all what they got left in the cupboard.
theyll still have lots but not enough to go wasting on dumbfuckery wars.
theyll have a huge reserve incase other conflicts arise but their excess/disposable supply has become constrained.
theyve sent a shitload to ukraine, israel and other middle east countries plus theyve let off plenty of fireworks in iran.
even the stuff they sent to iran was gunna take them many years to replace that inventory.
Never underestimate the Yank’s ability to tool up & churn out weaponry. Japan made that exact mistake in WW2 & paid the price.
Talk about believing bullshit from the internet. You’re the sucker.
yea cuz i take babylon bee super serious. youre a dumb fuck know it all why dont you ask your chatbot? i bet even it fucking hates you 🙂
Is that the best you can do. Like labour a fail.
I haven’t used chat for a long time. There are others that are more to my liking, and chat only did the search for info and the numbers. that I asked. I guess ya too fucking dumb to even understand that, although I did say so yesterday.
When are you leaving again?
not soon enough sadly.
this cuntry is fucked, the people are fucked and the curtain cleaners think theyre some sort of oracle which is just super fucked.
if this place didnt have wicked back country and good fishing id 100% be gone for good. many of the young are fleeing, aint gunna be many left to pay for huntys super and heart ops in a few years. thankfully youll be fucking dead by then so no one will need to endure your whinging and knowitallism 🤣.
i seriously wonder why the fuck i come back tho, this place is a fucking dump, everyones a miserable git, fat as fuck and the country is full of dero scum an sreggin.
the mood of the country here vs aus is like night and day.

Wellington City councillor Tony Randle dies at 65
Wellington City councillor Tony Randle has died at the age of 65.
The council confirmed his death in a statement this evening.
A sitting councillor for the Takapū/Northern Ward, Randle was first elected to Wellington City Council in 2022 and re-elected last year.
Wellington Mayor Andrew Little said the council was “deeply saddened” to share news of Randle’s death, remembering him as “deeply committed” to public service and “wanting the best” for the region.
“What really set him apart was his focus on substance over rhetoric. He wanted to understand the facts, examine the evidence and make the best possible decision based on all available information,” Little said.
https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/auckland/wellington-city-councillor-tony-randle-has-died/WIHEWSSR6FAFXCCQCMMB7W2UVM/
And thats important to the rest of New Zealand, why???
Not you too?
Because it affects Wellington, and they have lost someone from the council who actually wanted to get it on track.
That matters to the rest of NZ.
Why would anything that happen in that shit hole worry the rest of us?
They voted for all their lefty shit, now let them suffer the consequences.
How many boosters?

He Just Wanted a Ride… 🥹🚜 #farm #agriculture
short
A guy is walking the strip in Vegas when a fantastic looking hooker catches his eye. He strikes up a conversation and eventually asks, “How much do
you charge?”
The hooker replies, “I start at $500 for a hand job.”
The guy says, “$500 for a hand job? Holy crap, no hand job is worth that kind of money.”
The hooker says, “You see that Denny’s on the corner?”
“Yes.”
“Do you see the McDonald’s in the next block?”
“Yes.”
“And do you see the Wendy’s across the street?”
“Yes.”
“Well,” said the hooker, smiling invitingly, “I own all those, and I own them because I give a hand job that’s worth $500.”
So the guy says, “What the hell? You only live once. I’ll give it a try.”
They go to a nearby motel. A short time later, the guy is sitting on the bed realizing that he has just experienced the hand job of a lifetime, worth every bit of $500. He’s so amazed, he says, “I suppose a blow job is $1000.”
The hooker says, “No, $1500.”
“I wouldn’t pay that for a blow job!”
The hooker replies, “Step over to the window. Do you see those two
casinos across the street? Well, I own those, and I own them because I give blow jobs that are worth every cent of $1500.”
The guy, still reeling from the terrific hand job, decides to put off buying
a new car for another year or so, and says, “Sign me up.”
Fifteen minutes later, he’s sitting on the edge of the bed, more amazed than before. He can hardly believe it, but he feels he truly got his money’s worth.
Deciding to go for broke, he asks, “So, how much for some pussy?”
The hooker says, “Come back over to the window. Do you see how the whole city of Las Vegas is laid out before us? All those casinos, with the beautiful lights, the gaming, the showgirls?”
“Damn!” says the guy in awe. “You own the whole city?”
The hooker says, “No. But I would . . . if I had fucking pussy!”
And that’s sold old that one that its got mould on the slop.
It happens. got to be a cleaner to see filth like that.
hunty says go to thailand where its much cheaper.
How funny is this?
The media tried to convince voters that Tax Old People aren’t far left
But voters know that TOP are far left
So the only place TOP can take votes is from other far left parties
So the media beat up of TOP is literally costing Labour votes and seats
Have you considered that maybe chippie is hedging his bets, so if McNutty and co shaft him, he can change parties to be with his girlfriend.
Or maybe his girlfriend and the tart from top are Chinese-trained.
That’s how they got to a lot of the Yankee power brokers hooked. Using high-class hookers.
Nah you are giving chippy far too much intelligence to even think of a dastardly plan like that
It was about this time that Big Pharma peaked & began its backward slide.
