Woah! I’m really loving the template/theme of this website. It’s simple, yet effective.
A lot of times it’s hard to get that “perfect balance” between user friendliness and visual appeal. I must say you’ve done a great
job with this. In addition, the blog loads extremely
quick for me on Safari. Outstanding Blog!

A motivating discussion is definitely worth
comment. I think that you need to publish more on this subject,
it might not be a taboo subject but generally folks don’t discuss such topics. To the next! Best wishes!!

Hi outstanding blog! Does running a blog like this require a
massive amount work? I have very little understanding of programming however I
had been hoping to start my own blog in the near future.
Anyhow, if you have any recommendations or techniques for new blog owners please share.
I understand this is off subject but I simply
needed to ask. Cheers!

Lord Mayor of Auckland Mayor of Auckland. He ain't no lord, and we aren't his serfs. The British can keep their feudalism, thankyouverymuch.

I don’t actually think it was. I think it’s just the chaps at iPredict filling out the field and possibly even being a bit cheeky Fair play to them!

I had the exact same reaction to Jon’s name being on there. I didn’t even realise that was a remote possibility.

A National staffer once told me he thought Matthew Hooton and Peter Keenan were terrible advisors, because Don Brash performed so ineptly under their guidance. Then he saw how Brash performed without them and concluded they were strategic and tactical geniuses.

Comment on Political blogs, like other party coms, require oversight by Jake Quinn

Further thoughts: One solution would be to have all blog posts posted with a short time delay. This would provide an opportunity for the RedAlert monitors to have a quick peak at their colleagues work before it goes live. If the alarm bells go off, it could be stopped or amended. That process would, you would like to assume, have avoided Raymond’s post, and perhaps Darien’s post where she criticised the mad butcher.

It doesn’t necessarily need to be the press secretaries who have the oversight, it could be other MPs. The reason why I like the idea of press secretaries having a role, is that it removes the issue of MPs getting off side with each other because of disagreements about blog posts. Press sec’s can just say “it is my opinion as a media professional that his post will not run well for you and the party”. The MP can do with that information what they please.

I am not advocating censorship of MPs. I am advocating a system of quality control, or at least, a system where red flags can be raised before the “post” button is hit.
