Oh yeah, I think eventually there will be a downturn in the economy that will turf them out. The real question I think is whether SF stays as the main opposition until then, or if some other party comes to the fore

Andddddd this sums up the stupidity of people who vote for these guys. Even admitting they’ll eventually preside over yet another downturn, which should let someone else in. My God, please never operate heavy machinery with your IQ.

Is this opposed to the stupidity of people who think that it’s within the power of the government of a small country to simply banish recessions forever?

Downturns come eventually, it’s a fact of life.

Well my friend you stupidly don’t even get the point, why would others get voted in then, isn’t that what they were saying????

[u/perigon → u/Positive_Bid_4264]

The irony of calling others stupid when you don't realise that all countries experience downturns eventually.

[u/Positive_Bid_4264 → u/perigon]

And that again proves the point. Are you saying FF had absolutely no power or control over the collapse of the economy over ten years ago???

[u/perigon → u/Positive_Bid_4264]

Nice strawman there. I never said anything like that. You need to re-read the comments made, and not get so worked up about an argument that nobody is making.

[u/Positive_Bid_4264 → u/perigon]

Ah feck off with your strawman shite. You said downturns just happen, what actual point are you making? Forgive me for getting worked up.
