So we’re looking at another six, hopefully nine or twelve years of National lead government – a majority this time, in an ACT + Conservative government for the next two terms after that.
You’d have to say the Whale Army carried the day!
The big question: can we please have some National policies now
– smash the teacher unions!
– charter all the schools!
– smash all the rest of the unions
– replace RMA with real property rights
– anti-corruption commission
– close down RadioNZ & sell TVNZ
– end welfare!
Hopefully all the new National backbenchers will start kicking Labour & unions in the balls – them chop off their head.

Naa. Injection of black-market Pentobarbital will complete the job on Kim.
The job’s not done in NZ until National uses its majority to purge Unions, Labour, Mana, the Greens, from NZ’s body politic, and we finally get some National policies in NZ!
Tax cuts now! Charter schools now! Right to Work now!
Cuntliffe want us to “put aside partisan differences” – fuck that!
Time to wipe Labour & unions out of NZ forever.
