Tamihere

John Tamihere certainly knows how to put a few words together. This is good stuffRodney Hide has some competition. Heres a sample:

Don is about to take the phone when he is interrupted by the arrival of the four horsewomen of the Apocalypse: Heather Roy, Muriel Newman, Deborah Coddington and Katherine Rich.
Don: Weren't you supposed to be Liberty Belles?
Heather: We rebranded. We're here to slash benefits.
Don: By how much?
Muriel: We thought beneficiaries could probably get by on 10 bucks a week and a poke in the eye with a sharp stick.
Deborah: Make that a blunt stick – sharpening all those sticks would be really expensive.
Katherine: We could make beneficiaries sharpen their own sticks.
Don: (visibly distraught) Ladies, please! Could you take those horses out into the foyer? They are making a terrible mess of my carpet

Coalition

I find it weird that the coalition partner voters just don't want is the current one - the Progressives.

Labour Voters
76% want the Greens
58% want NZ First
55% want Maori Party
53% United Future
37% ACT
36% Progressives

National voters
87% Act
67% NZ First
56% United Future
28% Greens
27% Maori Party
25% Progressives

Still looking good for a National/NZ First coalition next year - as long as Don Brash can take it - he actually ruled out NZ First as a partner earlier.
