@carlworker "complacent and narrow minded"

[5 a.m. @5amfeeds]

@carlworker Haha what? You think Labour and National should join forces despite their major differences and they’ll survive being attacked from the left and right? Nothing complacent about it. You’re the one in fantasy world. Labour would lose most their vote to the Greens for a start.

[5 a.m. @5amfeeds]

If you think you've seen enough shit takes from political tragics over the past few days just see how bad they get over the next two weeks. Everybody has suddenly become experts on voting systems, data and coalition negotiations.

[5 a.m. @5amfeeds]

@carlworker Nobody is being held hostage by extremism. We've had elections every three years since 1951. It would be political suicide for National and Labour to go into coalition together. They're not going to and the suggestion they should is laughable.

@JoshVanVeen @jsoong I have a good idea why lol

@AllGoods99 @kaiviti_cam @juhasaarinen What’s your point? Most of the people with 4 wheel drives are contributing members of society.

@pennymarienz This is some crazy stuff Penny Marie. You want to be taken seriously as a journalist yet you’re going down a conspiracy theorist pathway over an 11KM run that she clearly participated in. This is the strangest hill to die on.

@AllGoods99 @kaiviti_cam @juhasaarinen Well there was a game between NZ and Tonga on Saturday night that plenty of people would have been more interested in than voting.

@henrycooke That doesn’t sound like the stability Opportunity Party are after.

[5 a.m. @5amfeeds]

@PronouncedHare This is silly. The Greens clearly campaigned on vote splitting with TPM in the Maori electorates. NZF has almost always campaigned on the party vote, and ACT put someone up against National in Tamaki.

@aniobrien Yes sorry he lost 51 and 54, won 57 and lost 60.

[5 a.m. @5amfeeds]

@aniobrien Not unheard of at all, especially for Labour leaders.

Walter Nash lost elections in 1954 and 1957 before becoming PM in 1960.

Norman Kirk lost elections in 1966 and 1969 before becoming PM in 1972.

Bill Rowling then lost three in a row to Robert Muldoon.

[5 a.m. @5amfeeds]

@PronouncedHare Ominous

[5 a.m. @5amfeeds]

@JoshVanVeen @PronouncedHare Maybe he’s more like Bill Rowling and he’ll lose three in a row.

Every 'local' TVNZ spoke to about Kapiti Airport was English.

[5 a.m. @5amfeeds]

@JoshVanVeen Ah yes.

[5 a.m. @5amfeeds]

@Kittyka21153868 @sanguine211 That doesn't make any sense at all.
