Let me preface this by saying I’m no big city political strategist.However if you’ve just survived a vote of no confidence, everyone hates you because you’re a smug jackass with no humility & a terrible track record it would seem to me to be a bad idea to then lean into that & denigrate predecessors

A screenshot of a post on X (formerly Twitter) by Magyar Péter (Ne féljetek), with the handle @magyarpeterMP. The post reads: "Until 31 May, the Orbán puppets may voluntarily step down from their positions. This applies to the President of Hungary, the President of the Curia, the President of the National Office for the Judiciary, the President of the Constitutional Court, and the Prosecutor General. On 12 April, the Hungarian people voted for a complete political transformation. If these officials do not step down voluntarily by 31 May, then — on the basis of the mandate received from millions of Hungarians — we will remove them from office." At the bottom, the timestamp reads "3:04 AM • Apr 21, 2026" alongside "19.9K Views".

Peter Magyar is not playing around at all. He's going to purge every single remnant of corrupt Orbanism. This is exactly how Dems need to be when they retake power.

Hate Winston but I do enjoy how he openly bullies Luxo in public like this

A pyrrhic victory if ever there was one.

I’m just waiting for the leak that tells us he scraped through by one vote.

Because, obviously it wasn’t

All this breathless reporting on the caucus meeting. They’re not going to roll him.

Yea probably

Not sure what his thoughts are. Mine are they both idiots if they got pissed and drove and they both deserves to suffer the consequences.

Drink driving i think

He’s got multiple divorces and a drinking problem.

Prominent NZ broadcaster Duncan Garner appears in court for criminal charge The ex-AM Show host could face up to three months' imprisonment if found guilty.

This dude is a hot mess.

Pure ego.

Looks like the “targeted, temporary relief” is doing fuck all. Who would have thought?

If this isn’t insanity I don’t know what is.

Today's winner of the Internet. Congratulations!

Yep and I think they are a deer in the headlights right now and won’t remove him.

Yep

Weird thing is he’s getting worse

He’s terrible at this. He can’t do this job.

Checkout time: Foodstuffs says New World vs Pak’n Save split won’t work Winston Peters is campaigning to force New World and Pak’n Save to split from Foodstuffs.

I’m shocked that Foodstuffs are saying this won’t work. Would not have expected that at all.

Supremely Confident: Luxon and the Executive-Ego Two short sentences in Marc Daalder’s Newsroom article from a couple of days ago really captured the Luxon I see:

Alternatively you could not start from the default position that everyone is American.

Luxon says he will still be PM at the election, says ‘probably five’ MPs are moaning Prime Minister Christopher Luxon has kicked off his week brushing aside a horror new poll.

Atta boy. Keep that head in the sand and pretend everything is ok. Denial of reality always ends well. Always

The usual vetting standards applying for RNZ

I still think they are so scared from the post Bill English period thy are going to grit their teeth and push through.

Concerning for who?

Their transport policy in 2020 was actually surprisingly good. Complete opposite of the shit thy are serving up under Luxon.

Yep I vote left but my vote has bounced between Labour and the Greens over the years. Never been a member of political party. Never will be.
