A Hung Parliament.

This is why it is so essential that the Left use MMP strategically to ensure we win.

Chloe has stated her desire to lead the largest progressive movement to take power and do something meaningful with it.

To date the Greens have been perpetually played like chumps.

Labour didn’t need them in 2020, were played by them in 2017 and get played again by Helen Clark.

The Greens always get used for the numbers to get to 51% but rarely ever get any of the power with that.

The country needs an opposition who can fight as hard at negotiation time as you are having to fight just to get through the week.

There is a MMP strategy that Chloe should take a long hard look at – the Kākāriki Alliance.

Kākāriki Alliance

If Labour are forced to rule the Māori Party out of Cabinet because of Doc’s sectarianism, then there is a means to still use MMP to kick this Government out.

If Hone Harawira called for a Māori Party and Green Party hui at Waitangi 1st February next year to discuss a Political Alliance between te Parti Māori and the Greens, they could agree on a unified strategy in the Māori electorates.

Candidate vote Māori Party in the Māori electorates and  Party vote Green in the Māori Electorates.

The wasted Māori Party vote gets picked up by the Greens, a Māori Party clean sweep of the electorates produces an overhang, but the most important part of the alliance would be the agreement of a united negotiating front with Labour.

This means even if Labour rule out the Māori Party in Cabinet, they still have to negotiate with them as a collective of the Greens which ensures NZF can’t play the Greens like they do every election.

Chance of The Kākāriki Alliance happening?

Chloe needs a strategy that is radical and can propel the Greens into a negotiating force. Cutting a deal with the Māori Party over the Māori Electorates would pick up wasted Māori Party vote while lifting the overhang and brings the negotiating muscle of John Tamihere.

For the Greens it is a radical strategy that is win win win.

The Greens won’t be as burnt by the association with Doc as Labour would.

This allows Labour to hold the centre, Greens and te Parti Māori work together to create a Government with a truly progressive economic transformation policy with Māori Party Ministers outside of Cabinet.

This anti-Treaty, anti-Māori, anti-worker, anti-renter, anti-disabled, anti-beneficiary, anti-environment Government must be stopped.

They are implementing voter suppression powers around special votes and are pushing an agenda that is ripping our communities to pieces.

Now is the time for radical strategies and alliances to beat the Right.

There are means and ways to use MMP that will win, we need leaders with the vision to do that.

Let’s not forget how gender based this has now become…

…thanks to our middle class woke activists and their toxic masculinity cancel culture accusations, we have driven young men into the arms of the reactionary right and if we want to beat this hateful Government, we need to reach out to men and tell them there is a place for them on the Left.

Comrades.

I know that many of you are working your fingers to the bone and many of you feel that you are going backwards.

I know crime is real and the fear of it in some neighborhoods as the cost of living crisis makes desperate people more dangerous opens us to tough of crime rhetoric and I know that many feel alienated by liberal concepts of identity that seem imposing or scary.

But my dear fellow comrades.

Your enemy is not a Māori wanting the Treaty honoured, it’s not a kid transitioning, it’s not the exploited migrant worker and it’s not the environmentalist or the feminist.

Your enemy is who your enemy has always been – the greedy venal banks, the big polluters who lie about their pollution, the billionaire class with their alt-right culture war bullshit!

Your enemy is the social media hate algorithms that pit us against each other, your enemy is the politician that strangles the common good for their donors interests – your enemy is who it has always been, the 1% richest plus their 9% enablers – and the millisecond the 90% rest of us realise that – their rule of cruelty ends at the ballot box.
