I wear Huggies to help combat my leakage problem. I have also stopped drinking so much water.

It could be worse however, we unlike Labour, do not suffer from rear leakage. (oh that is funny on so many different levels.. aha ha ha ha aha ha.)

Mummy wow! I’m a big kid now.

Why have the Nats been leaking?

Because they have weak pelvic floor muscles.

Nick Smith leaked the Environment policy to me in an interview about three days before it was released, then said “oops I’ve just leaked stuff don’t tell anyone until Saturday”. So I think they’re doing it on purpose, but the question is, are they doing it on purpose to undermine Key, or are they doing it on purpose just to get people talking and create excitement about each policy release in the preceding days? Since undermining Key in the lead-up to the election DOESN’T MAKE SENSE, I’m going to have to go with the excitement-building option.

Yeah…I meant “again”. He is unlikely to be leader again following the 21% election result he got last time. I thought “again” was implicit. But maybe not.

Anyhow I was also thinking that the Nats can obviously tell which policies are going to be leaked (hence they are rushing to release health), which tends to affirm the idea that the policies were in one batch. It is possible that the leak was still deliberate, but it wasn’t systematic – it was only one leak. To my mind this increases the possibility that John Key is telling the truth this time.

“the Nats would surely never make him leader”

They did. He was leader from 2001 – 2003. Troglodyte.

For all the bad things you could say about Bil (red neck, conservative, anti-choice etc) the Nats would surely never make him leader, and Bill must know that, hence his recent statement that he will never challenge John Key – he may as well just working on being a fab deputy. I agree the Nats are barking up the wrong tree with option 2. Silly tories. But, being dopey tories, of course it’s possible someone left a batch of policies in the cafe. Wouldn’t be the first time. And if you belive the Nats, the policies were in one “batch” so its not really three separate leaks, which is convenient for their argument, but not unreasonable when you think about it.
