If this isn't bad enough she cited hearing Hillary Clinton speak was a "dream come true".
Her entrance into politics is described to have happened like this:
I attended my first xxxxx Party meeting in Kaikohe, Northland in 2006. I asked xxxxxxxx question on women's rights...and he answered perfectly! That is when I knew that the xxxxxx Party cares about families and communities and that I wanted to be part of it.
The last few years I have been very lucky, spending time working for the World Young Women's Christian Association at the global headquarters in Geneva Switzerland and now I work for the YWCA of Aotearoa New Zealand as their Strategic Development Manager.
After all these amazing opportunities, it's my time to give back to my community and make a difference.
"Giving back" and "making that difference" means now wishing you to support her earning double six figures troughing perks as a backbench MP because I've done a worldwide apprenticeship in troughing and I need some flying hours in New Zealand.
Now none of this would be surprising if I told you she was standing for Labour but this woman is standing for John Carter's vacant seat for the NATIONAL Party. It was John Carter who apparently answered her question on women's rights "correctly".
I guess when there is a whole party of people with no private sector experience who worship Helen Clark there isn't much room to establish yourself as special and so you find another party to take you on as a minority candidate. But going to National and having a nice smiling picture of Helen Clark (without daggers in her eyes) on your Facebook wall as a proud political trophy?
It's right up there with a Pansy, a Richard and a Phil for stupidity isn't it?
The Labour Party equivalent would be posing with Sir Roger Douglas with a caption that his reforms in 1984 were wonderful. Instant expulsion would result. There's no chance in hell the LEC would let you have a retiring MP's electorate seat.
Please National Northland, select a candidate worthy of being National enough to replace John Carter.

Is it the trendy thing now to join the National Party? I fear for what will be known as the right in a decade or so. And I thought most of the current bunch were softcocks.
Helen wearing blue? I tried to adjust my screen for a second thinking it had gone wonky!
Actually Kate you are totally wrong here. This woman seems to very accurately sum up all that the National Party stands (or doesn't stand) for, and I expect her to do very well.
Ugh! I can't decide who is worse - her or that abominable cop that wants the seat.
National is now where the British Conservatives were in the 1970s - it has a bunch of people in it who believe in socialism, but that they can manage it better than the Left. There is almost no principled people left in it, they're all stuck in that intellectual ghetto known as ACT.
Whether she's a Christian or not is up to God to know but if she thinks Helen and the UN are good for us she needs to study the Bible and history.
But Helen Clark was part of those 84 reforms so they must, by definition, be wonderful

You're quite right in everything you say about the potential candidate, but the reality is such a trougher will be quite at home in National, as she says.
National have long ago forgotten what they should be standing for, and its time to stop supporting them merely because they are the slightly lesser evil.
Don't give them money and don't support them until they begin to understand that running candidates like Sarah is just pissing most of their one time supporters right off.
Stop funding the left, especially the left within National.
Regardless of her lack of real world experience, she does appear to have pretty decent rack. That's gotta count for something.
I live in Northland and would be willing to vote for her.
Wayne Brown - he can hold both jobs, mayor and MP
Your opening two paras Kate, would rule out several rather notable MP's.
Top of the list would have to be Ruth Richardson who, as a public service lawyer would almost certainly fall into one of your categories of no-hopers.
I would add Mabel Howard, but as you could argue that she was a "socialist" there seems little point.
Similarly with Elizabeth McCombs whose claim to the fame of MP was based entirely on being the wife of the (deceased) previous MP. (From NZHistory) " A fearless and fluent speaker, McCombs was deluged with correspondence from women and fought hard for women's issues."
But, it is your rule...
Heard it a week or so ago - and apparently the Nats approached her - Trevor
Hell I have been called a sexist bastard ( and ironically defended by Clare & Chris at Red Alert )by some sort of left wing yes man called Spud and Alians not to mention Tracy.
So what I think needs to be said here is, doesn't she have great tits.
In much the same way you have endeared DPF to the left by your on going expulsion of him from the VRWC I fully expect to be expelled from the VLWC. Well actually I don't we on the left couldn't organise a cake stall let alone a plan to remain in oh lets say Mt Eden. A VLWC plan kick the shit out of me on Red Alert for this.

I think you are wrong, you have failed to understand the "great tits " vote. Futhermore you have ignored the huge economic benifits that will become available to any future spouse.
You have controversialy advised that the Chinese don't do holidays I have publically agreed with that but remember we only fund holidays, I am sure this requirement will not be a problem.
I wonder if she knows the xxxxxx MP she's referring to actually voted against the Bill of Rights Act when it came in, and against prostitution reform, and recently voted to recriminalise street prostitution in Manukau... yeah real good on women's rights.
Sweet, maybe I should run for National. I'm the ripe old age of 24, and I've spent a WHOLE YEAR in the private workforce after graduating. After all that time, I should really give something back by sitting quietly on a backbench earning three thousand dollars a week to file my already immaculate nails.
Maybe I should chuck in some token work for a random organisation for good measure...
If National accepts her, surely I'd be next in line, right? Ha. Twats.
Can't say much about this particular candidate but the opening premise of the post here is very flawed. In a free society people make a variety of organisational choices, some for profit and some not. Friendly societies, charitable hospitals and schools, and think tanks are some of the not for profit examples. Because they are not free of competition, there is no reason to believe they are "under-measured" in comparison to the for profit sector. Roger Kerr has an excellent paper on organisational choices here: http://www.nzbr.org.nz/shop/Library+by+topic/Constitutional+issues+and+governance/Public+Policy+-+An+Introduction/x_show_article/1.html
John Carter was a successful local body official before he was an MP.
yes, can't go past those enormous tits....
Great, very mature to talk about her "rack"...get a life you small-minded Kiwis
It would depend on what you consider a triumph for womens rights to be Nicola. Personally, the right to demean yourself as a hoe is not up there in my list of desirable achievements. It was done to tax the industry.
It is fairly clear you are a superficial and unfortunate libertarian. Perhaps you have just finished reading Atlas Shrugged or some such. Your view that the only relevant experience a young person can bring to politics is garnered by financial wealth earned in the private sector could be considered laughable, even ridiculous. But thankfully it is not - it's fucked.
