If only it was a performance aye ๐ unfortunately what you see is what you get....pretty standard for entitled people everywhere, everything including their ego & their supposed abilities is over inflated.

Thought they could do "all the stuff" wheels fall off, fails wildly & blame "anybody else"

Back in the day when on that "other" SM site before it was broken by "I'm not a nazi Elon" & we had the lovely social kiwi branch of Twitter I used to follow a guy called Steve who at the time worked for Trustpower down at Lake Argyle on SH63, is Steve on here ๐คท just wondering

            I saw this #nzpol & thought of David Seymour
I find him morally repugnant in IMO he'd only jump in & save a drowning child if he was "being seen to do so"
Seymour is morally inconsistent, he'd save businesses any day but only save children if compelled by social norms

Christopher Luxon 14%
Chris Bishop 28%
Erica Stanford 13%
Nicola Willis 2%
Simeon Brown 3%
Someone else 40% (which I modified to say "Someone else ffs please with the prayer emoji"
                                                
    
    
    
    
            I think there was a "mislabel" in the original but I've fixed it.
Given the National Party's ability to "read the room" I'm guessing they'll pick Simeon Brown & Nicola Willis with a side order of Judith Collins and Gerry Brownlee ๐ฌ #nzpol
