Set to the music of another great old timer herself, Dusty Springfield, and loosely based on the lyrics from her ballad “You don’t need to say you love me”, it's the perfect accompaniment to Winnie’s election rallies.
When I said ….. you nee-ded me
You shook your head …. and turned a-way
You seem to think I shafted you, again …. don’t remember it that way
Now, I’m coming back …. for more
It’s time to settle …. an old score
I HATE to ACT upfront …. but.. pro-mise.. Na-tion-al ..for ..su-ure
You don't have to say you love me, just vote for me again
I don't have to stay forever, though longevity’s my friend
Believe me, believe me …. trust me like you used to do
And believe me …. I'll never let me down
Left alone …. with just a me-mory
So many governments …. inspired by me
Just one more time …make me ….. the main a-ttraction, ple-ease
I swear to right … all La-bour’s wrongs
Co-governance …. will soon be gone
Providing Luxon plays along … and grows a backbone stro-ooong
You don't have to say you love me, just vote for me again
I don't have to stay forever, just until I make PM
Believe me, believe me … let’s forget my past and start anew
And believe me …. I'm the greatest show in town
[All together now]
Ooooh, you don't have to say you love me, just vote for me again
I don't have to stay forever, just knight me, that’s the end
Believe me, believe me … Sir Winston sounds so good, it’s true
And believe me …. my memoirs will astound
Ooooh, you don't have to say you love me, just vote for me again
Tick the box “New Zealand First”, and the fun’ll never end
Be-lieve meeeeeee
Be-lieve meeeeeee
Pleeeeease

Which politician do you dislike the most?
There is so much anger and frustration at all the gaslighting and manipulation. I don't quite see what Winnie has done to stoke it though. He hasn't even been involved in the last three years. At least he isn't going to make us all pretend to be Maori.

For the Person who wrote the above Comment.
You have to -
[1] - go back and review Mr Peter's Political history from the day he got elected into Parliament;
[2] - in the above take a good look at his actions when he gained his seat &
brought "friends" (aka as NZ First List MP's) to sit in the House
[3] - review his "association" with Dear Jacinda (also that past association with Helen Clark), this "romance" soured the NZ voter, who displayed "their displeasure" at the last GE/2020 - to which Labour happened to be very
"happy about".
Yes he 'spent the last 3 years', sitting idle by a beach in the far North, which you rightly state that he nothing to with 2020 to now - it is the "past history" that is held against him.
Mr P does not enter Parliament - "For the People" - he is their for himself.
If you ever meet Daivd Seymour ask him - be prepared for an interesting response.
Yes, some people (like MC) are like those diehards who vote Labour, Greens, TPM, or even National, they think by voting again for them, the outcome will somehow be wholly different. Vote for someone who seeks to right the wrongs, not someone who is more interested in the baubles of office.
Winston Peters is completely cynical. Four months before he discovered that the Wellington protesters were supported by perhaps 30% of NZers, he tweeted "No jab, no job!" He saw votes for the plucking and he was suddenly off to Wellington.
His history of betraying his voters is extensive – right back to 1996 when he put Bolger into office again after strongly implying he was going to put him into Opposition.
David Seymour objects to Winston Peters claiming he knew nothing about He Puapua when he was at the Cabinet meeting in 2019 where it was approved, and at several other Cabinet meetings when it was discussed.
