Is there rally nothing of interest, or is there no-one left who is
interested in posting on daily or weekly events?

On those rare occasions I post, nobody replies to me anyway -- a shout
out to Mutley who did reply. Rich would reply but added no signal.
RIP nz.general.

Yes things are quiet on nz gen
But .... a couple of other groups I visit have
shown a burst of activity that hasn't been around
for some years.
When is are the nats going to dump Lux?
He is a total dud.
And I don't want to vote for any of the other parties
because they have nothing new to offer. It's the same old
BS for years. NZ is Fcuked, same as EU, UK AUS and USA.

At this point just a few months out from a general election no-one in >National is stupid enough to take Luxon on. They will wait until
after the election. If the next government does not include National
its a sure bet Luxon will be challenged immediately. If the next
government includes National then that challenge will come later.
Either way it is unlikely Luxon will last.
Yep. NZF is a vanity party. ACT is a bit too edgy for me.

Rich simply stopped posting with no indication that this was intended.
So consistent with either a serious cognitive failure or passing away.

He will last, by forging a Grand Coalition with his ideological mates.

You have chosen, and shall have Labour.

After many decades of posting that would be extremely
uncharacteristic.
--I agree, he was so entrenched in the group and his beliefs he would find it nearly impossible to voluntarily quit.

We've done pretty well compared with other groups like aus.general which
went turkey-up 20 years ago -- spammed out, actual users gone.
