It's been over a month since the 2023 election and still the bozos who the bozos voted in haven't got their frigging respective Acts ... sorry, acts together! Well, no surprises there from the guys who couldn't organise a piss-up in a brewery or ride a scooter without falling off the damned thing: BAD BISHOP
“I’m going to use the next three weeks until the special votes are fully counted, to actually progress the relationships and the arrangements with each individual party.” Bishop's King ... sorry, boss proclaimed rather prematurely.
“I’ve done a lot of mergers and acquisitions,” he also boasted. “I’ve done a lot of negotiations.”
Yeah right. Luxon fancies himself as a successful businessman and, like many businessmen in senior positions skited that he'd do better than his predecessors, slating Bolger, Clark, Key, English, and Ardern who also had to form coalition governments.
Well, guess what? He's done bugger all. It's reported that he's all mouth and no trousers.
It is said that Luxon doesn't listen to others which has been shown in the coalition negotiations. He wants to bulldoze through with National's agenda and hopes that Peters and Seymour will just coattail. So far he's hardly recognised that they have different agendas and even mocked Seymour for having pre-prepared policy papers. This is arrogance in the extreme.

"It’s not clear what mergers and acquisitions Luxon was involved in for Unilever in Canada or when running its soap, deodorant and toothpaste category in the United States.Said Mathew Hooton in the NZ Herald.
He was responsible for Air New Zealand’s alliance with Virgin Australia, but failed to build a strong working relationship with Virgin’s chief executive John Borghetti and its board. After reportedly failing to win board support to sack Borghetti, Luxon quit Virgin and sold Air New Zealand’s 25.9 per cent shareholding, although luckily the loss to Air NZ shareholders, including taxpayers, was probably under $100 million.
In commercial negotiations, it’s the bigger player, like Air New Zealand, that can walk away, while the smaller players usually feel pressure to close. In coalition negotiations, it’s the other way around."

"Follow me guys." |
Act (Seymour) felt its time preparing detailed policy had been wasted and NZ First (Peters) was offended that National presumed to know its priorities without asking. They both were pissed off and, strangely for two diametrically opposed politicians, found some common ground - against National and Luxon.
Luxon has already shown himself to be an ineffective leader and in doing so is allowing Peters and Seymour to grow more powerful. He makes pithy comments on how things are going rather than, as the number one spokesperson, showing that he has control and as spokesperson keeping everyone informed.
He's just 'mouth and no trousers'. Maybe he should, like Nero, wear a toga and at least give us a tune.

Can you spot what is missing?
PROOFREAD!
Are you this pedantic with Shelley?
Yes, if she doesn't proofread.
The detective sergeant looked down at the body that had a dictionary rammed down its throat.
He asked his assisting constable what was the deceased’s occupation.
“Ex-schoolteacher” she said.
He looked over at the deceased ex-schoolteacher’s wife who was sorting through some holiday circulars and replied “ natural causes then.”
