WHOOOO. WHOOOOOOO....





Well the elections are over and Labour didn't perform as well as hoped. To be fair though, they performed much better than they would have before Jacinda Ardern took over.

Remember this?


I only wish that they hadn't mentioned taxes in any form though. If they'd kept schtum I guarantee that they would have rolled National.
Never mind Winston might save the day if he doesn't side with National although it'll be stormy with NZ First, Labour and the Greens all in bed together.




Still  from a selfish point of view - i.e. from a Northland perspective it doesn't matter whether Winston Peters sides with Labour or National as he'll use his party seats' leverage to get rail from Auckland to Whangarei (much needed) and maybe even the expansion of Ports of Whangarei which will increase jobs and efficiency (although Robert disagrees). I really hope that this happens, particularly the train service.

Yes I do disagree. This will be Winston's last election. His own electorate didn't want him.
He'll maybe try to leave a legacy. Though he is probably not that bright.
I think he will just look in the mirror a little too much and National will carry on and he'll die a natural death.
Though I hope I am wrong.

His best chance of a legacy is a rejuvenated North. A decent railway and Ports of Auckland will provide this.

Make no mistake, Winston is an intelligent man. How dare you say otherwise Robert! At the moment he potentially has more power than any other politician in this country.
