Chrises debates

How about rather than so many leaders’ debates, the last debate before an election is between the next list candidate from each party who would enter parliament if that party’s vote increased.

p.s it should be spelt Crises rather than Chrises, the h is silent

[Andrew Stewart @Andrew00Stewart]

@mwfowlie @TaxpayersUnion Yes. Not sure it affects the underlying argument.

[Andrew Stewart @Andrew00Stewart]

@Bluebird262626 @PronouncedHare Not virtue signalling go and read the tweet again.

So are you saying gang members (who are not in jail) shouldn’t be able to vote?

[Andrew Stewart @Andrew00Stewart]

@AlanWilkinsonNZ @PronouncedHare What are the in between steps Alan? That is the question.

[Andrew Stewart @Andrew00Stewart]

@mangereman @PronouncedHare Big assumptions you’ve making there, suspect he understands nuance a bit better than you do.

[Andrew Stewart @Andrew00Stewart]

@Mykuhl @PronouncedHare Choosing to behave outside the law has consequences, same as for anyone else.

I suspect fixing the gang problem’s a bit more complicated than the approach the current government has taken.
Other messages can be taken from the meeting but the general level of hysteria fascinates

[Andrew Stewart @Andrew00Stewart]

@Mykuhl @PronouncedHare Politicians can talk to who they want to.

I don’t see talking to all members of society see as a bad thing.

I doubt a “photo op” will affect how gang members are viewed.

Are you thinking that politicians shouldn’t talk to gang members cause some people shouldn’t vote?

[Andrew Stewart @Andrew00Stewart]

@Kiwipally @TaxpayersUnion I don’t believe it is. Pick any % return the concept is the same, you get taxed on the increase regardless of the underlying inflation rate.

[Andrew Stewart @Andrew00Stewart]

@PronouncedHare You on the other hand , even after identifying that 82% of Green voters have a negative view of gangs, seem stuck on making the discussion about the merit of gangs rather than should gang members be involved in the democratic process as Dale was referencing.

[Andrew Stewart @Andrew00Stewart]

@PronouncedHare Yes sounded like your view is affected by your personal experience. However the discussion should be about what is the best way to manage the gang issue.

I got the impression Dale was leaning more to justifying the meeting than justifying their behaviour. 1/

If National, ACT and NZF are able to form a goverment after the news from starship Hospital, then I give up.
We are short staffed across Health NZ. Not only do we lack nurses, doctors and allied health, we also can't get timely IT support because of their cuts.

@Eastandbays @BishtonSyl43661 @phil86537482 But isn’t it likely that they will be collecting less GST on other things if people are cutting back on other spending because fuel is more expensive?

[Andrew Stewart @Andrew00Stewart]

“She committed to discussions within the first 100 days of office”

Will she commit to cross party discussions in the first 100 days if National is not in office?

@kapiti_coaster I cannot be held responsible for any consequences if that happens

Bingo card for Luxon’s comments during tonight’s leader’s debate

[Andrew Stewart @Andrew00Stewart]

@Pazienza82 Yes, yes, yes. Should have gone for the 5*5 grid.

[Andrew Stewart @Andrew00Stewart]

@Custard_Square @LewSOS Well spotted 😊

[Andrew Stewart @Andrew00Stewart]

@actparty What a useless analogy. Obviously used to short term thinking.

Ever heard the saying “Mighty oaks from little acorns grow”

@SolidAirJohn “What they found was that while house prices for townhouses, new build stock, have come down, they haven't come down any sharper than normal housing stock. So to blame Auckland's woes on the proliferation of townhouses that nobody wants isn't really the case”
