The glee so many are expressing over TOPs demise is woke twitter at its most smug and undeserved.
They gained an impressive 2.4% on their first attempt and is a reminder why the 5% threshold is actually choking off democracy, not representing it well.
Yes, Morgan & Plunkett had all the charm of car accidents involving school children, BUT their policy was courageously light years ahead of most everyone else.
I need to like you for you to be right is petty, especially when climate change demands immediate adaptation of our economy, culture and community.

I’m sorry they’ve gone; they had some good policies and impressive candidates, one of whom I knew well and much admire.
Morgan’s rudeness appears to be congenital and non-discriminating – he spreads it everywhere he goes, like some sort of reversing sunshine.
But Plunkett was the limit for me.
The person I like to think I am makes reasoned informed sorts of choices.
The real person decided that Plunkett’s gross criticisms of Eleanor Catton’s cricitising NZ were unacceptable and incredibly ungentlemanly – a Kiwi girl still in her 20’s achieved something v impressive, and another old flat white man – who could have been avuncular and glad with his praise and said, “Let us all celebrate,” shot her down, meanly.
So I decided, “Pox upon their house,” and voted Green again.
I believe Morgans intentions were good he just went about it the wrong way.
Yes Morgan made a mess of the election issue.
He had a bad group of avisors behind him, as they were so sloppy, and cost him lots. He didn’t help by his offhand comments all the time either.
the cats did not like him at all….and I always listen to what cats say
Gareth gave it a go and good on him for having a range of new ideas and policies. Didn’t agree with all of it, but he got over 2% and some parties like ACT are on less than that and still being propped up by the Natz for fake representation in parliament. Gareth should hold his head up high.
