In case anybody is missing the point. Winston is trying to insinuate that Hipkins is gay and he thinks calling people gay is an insult because he thinks everybody hates gay people as much as he does.

Winston is two years older than Trump. Do we really need senior citizen's like him in politics? There should be an age limit.

I'd guess NZ First will fade to irrelevancy without him, and it couldn't come soon enough.

As long as people keep voting for him, he'll stick around.

If only younger generations voted more often, but I can understand it. I was one of those foolish ones who never bothered voting all through my twenties.

It's the job of the parties to convince people to vote for them. Hell it's their most important job really. If the kids aren't voting the parties are not doing their job properly.

Or conversely, they are doing their jobs extremely well.

It just depends on what your goals are....

I'd prefer that we had more integrity in our leadership.

Getting votes and integrity are not contradictory.

Winston can get fucked. Needs to hurry up and croak already.
