"... if that's the only resource you've got - especially in Papua New Ginea, there's not a lot there - so if you've got oil, and gas, and coal, for godsake take it out of the ground and get the country going."

Old Winnie & his party have a new direction...they've brought on board some wild card candidates.

@RoddersClassics Yikes, I know Winston has sadly subscribed to a lot of this conspiratorial nonsense, perhaps he was influenced by the cookers on Parliament lawn, but I have no idea what the rest of #NZFirst members and supporters think about the new wacko direction their party has taken. #NZPol

Part 2 ACT National and NZ first pay editors and authors for ways to stir up racism in NZ to win themselves votes and line their pockets with money from their business partners.

Not really a surprise, but at least it now seems 100% clear exactly what sort of demographic #WinstonPeters and #NZFirst are aiming to capture for #Election2023 #NZPol #Conspiracy

Not that I was ever a fan of NZF but have to say it is sad to see its decent (further) down the rabbit hole...

#WinstonPeter's ploy to get #NZFirst reelected seems to be "I know I supported the secret communist #JacindaArdern, but in my defense I'm very easily fooled "

@jayjaymal Winston Peters is dog whistling to supporters who left NZ First because he went with Labour in 2017. Back then he knew the country needed change. He was right.

Now he doesn’t care in my opinion. He sees an opportunity because voters are not convinced by a National Govt led by Luxon.

Mr O for Opportunity

They have lost Tracey Martin and Ron Marks, two credible, hardworking ex-MP’s, who is left?

So Winnie has officially ruled out going into formal coalition with #NZLabour

“We are not going to go with the Labour Party ... because they can’t be trusted ... You don’t get a second time to lie to me, or my party and they did.”

Not sure what the lie was and doesn't rule mean no to confidence & supply.

Pressure on #NationalParty to decide whether to rule out #NZFirst. Be a big call but would make it interesting.

Bloody surprised #Trump is running for president in the #Election2024 - but probably shouldn't be. Going to be fascinating to watch 🍿 ... and also potentially terrifying!

What with #NZFirst making a comeback we could have Winnie and Trumpy back in office... 😱

@pragmatist For sure, especially given how the #NZFirst vote tends to out perform polls - which is partially due to having high actually-get-out-and-vote demographic.

Not sure I see #WinstonPeters going with #NZLabour tbh if comes down to it - maybe confidence & supply... maybe...

#Election2023

@strypey when will the election happen? I was planning to move to NZ if #Trump were to get re-elected.. but obviously I'd change plans if this scumbag #NZFirst party gets much power.
