You two should get a room. Your are both being silly.

 

I'm not.

Bye.

This reminds me of the Trump thread.

It did me too - especially the part where I pointed out that David Seymour was trolling "SJW"s as a political stunt, then out of the woodwork came a supporter who made probably the most misogynist statement I've ever read on GZ.

The ACT party should be an example to the Green, who sold out cheap on their voter base choosing to play second-fiddle to NZF despite being equally pivotal in the arrangements.

 

As someone who voted Greens at the last election, please elaborate further how they sold out cheap on me?

And now it seems Joyce has rage-quit after missing out in the leadership vote and the drama with Matt Hooten/NBR over the weekend.

As a frequent national voter I have never thought much of Joyce as an MP or Minister.

Glad to see him go.

He is thought of as a bit of a super brain. I think he is a loss. 

I'm not saying he was perfect, but with English and Joyce gone, a fair bit of Nationals Economics knowledge has gone with them.

His intellect was useful, his public persona and leadership style were not.

He's last generation, John and Bill are gone and he was on the slide. And let's not forget his "fiscal hole" blunder.. what a balls up. His political stock was toast, no point in sticking around (hint hint Gerry Brownlee, Nick Smith etc).

It's far too early to determine if his prediction of a hole is correct or not.

That's true, opinion was divided if there was a 11 billion hole or not.

All the financial experts said there wasn't. Joyce said there was.
