    You poor pathetic child.
    Luxon has more nouse in negatiations than you will ever have.
    A reasonable person who actually cares about this country would give the new government a chance to make things better, but you and others who are blindly bound to a poltical dogma don't care about New Zealand or the people of New Zealand.
    My goodness how desperate you are.

    Seymour has been in parliament long enough to have some idea of how
    politics and trust works - Peters is more aware than both Seymour and
    Luxon together.

    Will Hipkins still be stand-in PM at Christmas?

    FPP is not the greatest electoral system, but it is far better than
    MMP which is a disaster. Arguably the worst thing that has ever
    happened to this country politically is the introduction of MMP.

    FPP delivered systemic distortion was accompanied by a large number of "country" electorates that usually elected conservative MPs - while
    Labour support was more heavily held in a smaller number of city
    electorates. FPP also delivered an election where Social Credit
    candidates received around 20% of the votes cast, but got no Members
    of Parliament. Think what you will of Social Credit, but that result
    is probably what turned enough away from the distortions of FPP to get
    the more democratic system we have today.

    All of which is a bit away from Luxon acting in bad faith in ''going
    public'' with some negotiation points having insisted himself that
    none of the three should discuss those issues with journalists.

    It is sad that we are likely to have a coalition government where the
    two smaller parties cannot trust the leader of the National Party.

    Talking to yourself now? At least you can guarantee partial agreement.

    However - for people like you that refuse to see the whole picture I guess that you think this is a failure - it is not, it is in fact proof of someone doing all possible to set up a real government.

    Not proven - just a lie.
    What is really sad is that the last government did their utmost to destroy most of the democratic institutions this country has enjoyed for decades.

    FPP is not the greatest electoral system, but it is far better than
    MMP which is a disaster. Arguably the worst thing that has ever
    happened to this country politically is the introduction of MMP.

    Bill.

    Nonsense. Terrible logic.
    Evidence is in your mind, co-governance is racist - many other examples exist. We cannot help your dishonesty, but you can.
