Well, go to his Twitter page, and every time he utters something to air his frustration at what Labour is up to (again), he is reminded that he must accept some blame for this. In fact, a lot of blame. He chose Labour over National because of his ego, and nothing else. That decision was not made in the best interest of NZ. The rest is history.
I had the benefit of not living in NZ for 30 years or more. The result is that I just do not understand the animosity towards Peters. He's too tied to establishments elsewhere (British, American) for my liking but he's probably one of the best politicians that we have nevertheless. And as for putting Ardern in, well we all make mistakes. TBH this nonsense of the last few years has been replicated just about everywhere and whether Bill English or Jacinda Ardern had been in place we still would have had this nonsense.
If you "just do not understand the animosity towards Peters" then that lack demonstrates a remarkable shortage of brain cells. The man is a charlatan. That you consider him to be "probably one of the best politicians that we have" demonstrates your total contempt for pollies OR confirms the lack of brain cells.
Worst of all, to write-off his "putting Ardern in" with a simplistic "well we all make mistakes" is ludicrous. A more heinous "mistake" is hard to imagine.
Wherever you were for those thirty years clearly taught you nothing.
WP is more than rumoured for the paper bags full of cash from the fishing industry. I don't know about the racing industry. He tried to get his girlfriends pharmaceutical product on to the Pharmac subsidized list- that conflict of interest should have got him out long time ago.
what I want to know is.....what is going to happen with the National party SFO case starting this week?????
