Politics in New Zealand: Shitstorm in Invercargill!

The general election is just getting into gear.
The national government is in disarray.
They thought it would be a doddle, a walk in the park but it is not looking like that at the moment.
Events have conspired to go against the government and there is no end in sight.
The other major problem is that the national government appeal to a section of the population that is itself in need of redefinition.
The idea of getting money is to become kiwi equivalent of the English gentleman after a sufficient period of being an American cowboy.
so the pop is schizophrenic. one half wants to be running round in straw boaters drinking champagne in some sort of weird reality version of bridehead revisited/downton abbey/city yuppie while driving round in a Cadillac with cow horns welded to the bonnet.
?????????
The rest just want to get on with it.
live their lives without too much fallout from teevee and drug culture from the city ghettos in other countries affecting their kids.
the media is totally aligned with retailing goods and have completely abandoned any educative activities whatsoever as the population drowns in a sea of wonk fantasy's supplied in never ending quantities.
There is no respite or surcease.
Parties can only be elected if there is a promise of more and relief from any depredations of previous governments.
Its all very shabby really and there is nowhere else to go so we just gotta ride it out.
and the shit list grows exponentially as we congratulate ourselves for being smart asses just because we have stuff and others kiss our bums in fawning adulation.
ho hum.

Tim Shadbolt.
Things getting shitty down in Invercargill.
Watchout Timmy boy.
And hey Tim, anybody who claims a personality conflict as the basis for disagreement is only using it for a smokescreen and trying to claim that there is no possible way if ironing out any differences and therefore the matter is closed. Oh Yeah?
