Michael Laws calls the election.

[quote]These are the last days of the government.

We know this like we know that night follows day, that spring follows winter and that British tabloids follow girls called Angel Barbie. We know all these things because they are immutable laws of nature.[/quote]

This is true then he really gets into botting the government in the guts. As the polls forecast the doom the atmosphere becomes toxic as we see today, the smears come out but;

[quote]Instead governments fight and delude in equal proportion. They get both nasty and narcotic – going for the goolies while refusing to admit their mortality.

They resemble nothing quite so much as zombies on P. Stumbling towards their fate with no shortage of flailing.[/quote]

Yes, that is exactly what they resemble none more so than their state-funded client blogs. Laws reckons that contrary to most leftists opinions it was the anti smacking meddling that sealed their fate and I would have to agree with him to some extent…it was the straw that broke the proverbial camel’s back.

He is exactly right and yet the client-bloggers still run the lines that people who smack their kids are “kiddy bashers”. Frankly the longer they keep running those lines the betters. The irony is that for a party that has ruled us by focus group, it seems that the message in the focus groups seems to have gone completely awry. I suspect the Labour flunkies running their focus groups mistook public angst against people like the Kahui’s for a willingness to ban smacking. Clearly they were wrong.

[quote]Ultimately though, the electorate has had enough. We want change. And we’re starting to be resentful that we must wait until November. Which is why Labour’s defeat will become such a debilitating debacle. And why we may well get an FPP government under an MMP electoral system.[/quote]

Yes we have had enough, yes National will be able to govern alone. Labour will be destroyed, hopefully completely.

The old saying in gambling is to not bet against the house and a quick check around the Aussie betting establishment confirms that you’ll do your dough if you back Labour.

Keith Ng: Polling the depths – The clock is ticking. Less than five months until the election and 20 points behind in the polls, Labour is still sticking to its strategy of waiting for National to make a mistake. Is there enough time for a comeback?
The New… [NZ Politics]

Keith Ng has a column in todays HoS. It is very interesing especially the quotes provided by David Slack, Nigel Roberts and Jon Johansson, all of whom can be classed lefty wonks.

There is no comfort for the Clarkists in this column with all three using history, ironically, to show that the Clarkists days are done. Perhaps the best quote comes from Jon Johansson not the least because of the use of the word perfidy.

[quote] “One of the real truisms about long-term governments is that the things that get you there – what were once perceived as your strengths – are ultimately the things that bring you down. In Clark’s case, it was restoring legitimacy to the political order after a generation of broken promises. The premier symbol of that legitimacy was the original pledge card. Now look at what the pledge card looks like to people. It’s the premier symbol of Labour’s perfidy.

“That’s why long-term governments inevitably fall,” he says, “because the people at the top are the last ones to recognise that their entire situational dynamic has changed. Helen Clark and Heather Simpson are not going to win this election for the Labour Party by using the things that have worked for them in the past.”[/quote]

Indeed, perfidy is what is undoing Clark as all the chickens are coming home to roost. The younglings at the client blogs can’t understand what is happening because they were never around before to watch what happens. They rail against National and John Key for the very things that got Clark elected, they put their head in the sand like incumbent governments do exactly like the Shipley/Bolger government did and when they pull their heads out they’ll find that the body has been shot to hell. It’s over, call the election Clark.

PM’s blocking of disabled carpark ‘unacceptable’, says pensioner – Questions are being asked after the Prime Minister’s motorcade blocked off disable parking bays in central Christchurch.

The news gets worse.. TVNZ covered it and the Herald now as well.

WOBH has nothing to do with that site and did not authorise any of the content to be published.

Bwahahahahahaha! Cop that suckers….your law, your the first to be refered to the coppers, hope they prosecute, you don’t have the Labour party immunity. Simon Bridges will be grinning from ear to ear.

Decision Number: 2008-09

Subject: Two banners displayed on a house in Tauranga promoting New Zealand First

Findings and Determination: Banners on a house in Tauranga promoting New Zealand First did not display promoter statements. The offence will be reported to the Police.
Contravention of sections 63(2)(a) and 65(1)(b) of the Electoral Finance Act 2007, by failure to display promoter statements, amounting to offences under sections 63(4) and 65(4) of the Act. The facts will be reported to the Police in accordance with section 70.[/quote]

Other decisions are posted here and note that despite Labour’s muelling the Commission has found that National’s pamphlet is not an election advertisement. The Greens were lucky although they had an authorisation it was the wrong one but deemed inconsequential.

The big decisions are still to come and those are all complaints against Labour.

Poll: Labour loses more ground in Auckland – Labour’s support in Auckland has dropped dramatically in the Herald’s latest DigiPoll survey after a month in which violence in South Auckland and soaring petrol prices dominated the public’s attention.
The June Herald -DigiPoll… [NZ Politics]

The fourth rogue poll in a row has come via the Herald this morning and Labour will be very, very worried. The very city that delivered them up government last time is lost to them. Labour has lost a massive 10% of support in Auckland alone.

[quote]The June Herald-DigiPoll shows Labour’s support in Auckland has dropped to 28.2 per cent – 10 points down from last month when it was sitting on 38 per cent support.[/quote]

National enjoys almost 60% support in Auckland. The nationwide figures are;

National  54.9 per cent – its highest level since the Herald-DigiPoll survey began
Labour has dropped four points since last month to 32.4 per cent
NZ First 3.3 per cent
Greens 5.9 per cent

No other party was listed.

Labour is bleeding support out of it’s arse so badly they are now in danger of a massive haemorrhage akin to National’s 2002. There are now four polls confirming electoral carnage, Clark can no longer call all the polls “extreme” or “rogue”. It appears the end days of Clarkism are here.

Who would have thought that when I started C**t of the Week that the second scalp I would get would be none other than Helen Elizabeth Clark.

[quote]A partially sighted Christchurch man with Parkinson’s disease was forced to struggle down the street to his car after Prime Minister Helen Clark’s security commandeered parking spaces.

Clark’s security meant Elizabeth Winkworth was unable to park outside the Christchurch Town Hall to pick up her husband, Marshall Leaf, 81, after a performance by the Christchurch Symphony Orchestra on Friday night last week.[/quote]

How disgusting! This bitch needs to be fricken shot.

Helen Eleizabeth Clark you are C**t of the Week.

Holidaymakers in the South Island looking to take photos of weird and unusual wildlife should make a beeline for Queenstown this weekend.

There, the greater spotted loser can be found, parading themselves around in bright colours for the amusement of passerbys.

Evidently this clan of Young Labour losers think that sinking some contraption of theirs, called a “Slippery Key Craft” into Lake Wakatipu is going to make people vote for Labour.

The Young Labour representatives will take part in the Bird Man competition where they will plunge a “Slippery Key Policy Craft” into the icy waters of Wakatipu as a demonstration of how hollow the National Party is and to demonstrate how their policies will plunge and sink New Zealand. Don’t forget your party authorised hand signals fellas.

Maybe the craft will be a better metaphor for Labour’s current polling, plunging into the icy depths where the Labour government will drown?

I hope they have got all their authorisations in place because complaints will certainly be laid for each and every breach of the Electoral Finance Act including the press release that they have put out….Oh dear not very well versed in the law you supported are you?

I received and email from Craig Neilson who is the “Virtual Electoral Officer”  forJimungo which has launched ‘Pulse of the Nation’, an online competition to hold virtual elections and pick winners
