Indeed, next we will have the dead voting, and the cry to vote early and vote often!

'Slowest folk on the planet': Luxon says he wants votes to be counted faster The prime minister says he expects the Electoral Commission to speed up the official vote count after an election.

Like Trump, Luxon is trying to gerrymander the system by excluding the votes of 100,000s of NZers. He claimed it was to speed up the vote count, but the Electoral Commission says it will not. So now he is insulting the Electoral Commission. Yes, again, just like Trump. www.rnz.co.nz/news/politic...

Reminds me when they opposed Labour proposing voters being able to vote in supermarkets for the 2020 election… again, they obviously didn’t want to make it easier to vote.

But ah, their argument for that can definitely be used for their own announcement today

I'm kind of surprised more people aren't alarmed at what Taxpayers Union are playing at with their rates cap campaign - supported by National.

It's a re-run of 3 Waters tactics

This is good from the UK’s former Defence Minister & Army veteran, Ben Wallace.

He dismantles Trump’s lies one by one, pointing out that he’s just spewing Kremlin talking points.

Ukraine started the war - LIE
US gives more funding than Europe - LIE
Ukraine needs elections - LIE

NEW: A moment in Munich.

Zelenskyy says Russia is creating 15 new divisions of 150,000 soldiers: "Maybe these soldiers are for Ukraine. Maybe they are for you.”

He ends hoping for peace.

A long, standing ovation.

What a contrast to Vance, met with silence as he torched transatlantic relations.
