The MIQ over subscription by tens of thousands hints at the incandescent rage many of our diaspora feel trying to get back into their legal home country.
There is no way their torture won’t have political ramifications.
Last election Greens did poorly in their usually high overseas support vote because Ardern’s global stardom eclipsed the Greens, this election however the frustration is directly at Jacinda’s policies so I think the Greens will take that vote back and then some.
The Greens are so painfully precious of others pain that global citizens not able to return home is made even more pertinent because the middle class Greens also like to travel, so their fierce self interested rhetoric will find electoral gold amongst fiercely self interested kiwis caught outside a predictable lockout due to Covid.
Like isn’t it a tad on the nose to bitch about getting caught out of the country during an 18months pandemic? I mean, what about traveling during a pandemic seemed like a good idea to you?
Be that as it may, our diaspora are furious and if the Green Party rhetoric is too moderate for their anger, ACTs throw-open-the-borders-and-let-the-freed-market-decide-death policy is for you.
ACTs policy has the whiff of judgmental vengeance to it that is the perfect cocktail of payback people locked out of their own home want to inflict on those refusing to open the door.
My guess is that our diaspora are far more motivated to vote in 2023 than we have ever considered and their anger at being locked out will be sharp.
I think the Greens & ACT will reap a mighty harvest from their anger and fear.

Do the Greens have an official policy on the vaccine and/or mandates for it? You’d think they’d be principally opposed given their distrust of GMO plants and animals since these mRNA vaccines utilise similar technologies – unlike GMOs that you consume, these vaccines are effectively gene therapy you are directly injecting into your body(!) (the vaccine literally genetically reprograms your cells to temporarily create CoVID Spike Proteins). If the Greens support mRNA vaccinations they really need to think about dropping their opposition surrounding GMOs. If that is not their official stance, I would like to hear from a spokesperson as to why they hold a double-standard when it suits them.
It is my understanding that much of the Greens opposition to GMOs was the preference to push for high end organic/regen methods to produce highly sort after quality products.
Maybe in a global pandemic it’s OK to use GMO? Gee I dunno……
“Remember, without Chloe win in Auckland Central, helped greatly by a widely disliked Labour candidate,”
What a load of absolute BS. Jesus you talk some crap.

The Greens have lost their mojo. When they kicked off in the early 70s (?) they were a really militant protest movement. eg. I would like them to have shut down the sale of land to the Chinese Waste Management company and the setting up of a landfill dump. Just one example. Nowadays they’re just another touchy feely woke group.
Indeed. I’d hold out hope if Chloe was leader of Greens. I respect what she says. She comes across as a natural leader. Was dedicated as fk to get elected in spite of the far right shit stirring. I take my hat off to her. Tho, haven’t heard anything from her lately. What’s she doing at present, politically? Or is she enjoying her salary? I dunno. Enlighten me. I’ve got data overload atm
