Will this hard right racist climate denying beneficiary bashing Government last the full 3 years?
If you think you are angry with the Government, trust me, you haven’t seen anything yet.
Their first 100 days of romper stomper culture war revenge fantasies are nothing compared to the legislation required to flesh out their donor lobbyists election talking points.
If you were angry and all the stuff they just tore down, wait till you see the venal interest of the legislation they intend to pass in the next 90 days.
The law will align with Donor interests with such seamlessness and grotesque pork barrelling that the recent IPSOS poll showing a bare majority of Kiwis believe the system is run for rich people manages to look undercooked.
Voters will feel repugnance at such self interest for the greedy.
The Budget won’t be able to hide National’s acquiescence to the donor class and the market will decide with Liz Truss level ruthlessness if borrowing $15Billion for tax cuts is the dumbest thing Nicola Willis has done that week.
If the market decides borrowing for Tax Cuts is a dangerously unstable right wing myth, it will cause a run on our markets shortly after it is released, so we will know pretty quickly if this right wing experiment of borrowing for Tax Cuts but pretending you aren’t is going to work.
I suspect it won’t work because the economy is actually in enormous trouble and any little thing like a Right Wing Government not seeing the wood for the trees could trigger it.
Insurance is skyrocketing because of more and more extreme weather events, 55% of those with a mortgage walk off low rates onto high rates this year and every dollar slashed from the State won’t get replaced by the private sector.
All these pressures alongside the Government’s very biased agenda towards their donors will enrage voters and this Government could easily become deeply unpopular and as the real deep cuts start kicking in, Winston will be stepping down as Deputy PM.
Will he stay for the ride or will he take that moment to undermine David Seymour?
There is also the emotional state of Luxon which looks more fragile by the passing month.
The reason the Left have to be ready is because this omnishambles of a Government could skid off the road uncontrollably in a months time as they present their budget.

Martin, you forgot to add genocide complicit Government.
This government is helping commit genocide by withholding funding from UNWRA at Israel’s request based on unsubstantiated allegations. UNWRA is the only UN agency in Gaza with the ability and organisation to get aid into Gaza in scale enough to avert a man made famine. Realising this reality Commonwealth countries Canada and Australia, have renewed their funding support for UNWRA. New Zealand following the US lead, hasn’t.
in answering whether this government will last or not the question of their complicity in genocide must come up. In the US which like New Zealand is also helping Israel commit genocide by starving the people of Gaza, is having a presidential election in November, the Biden government’s complicity in genocide could well be the deciding issue.

We have got a long way to go to our next election, our collective complicity in this genocide will become more evident as time passes.
We live under a dictatorship government, that is undeniable…
Len Brown on Auckland transport…
“So the Minister for Transport in Auckland, Simeon Brown, who I’m getting on quite well with, has agreed that we will be put back in charge of the Regional Land Transport Plan.
“I’m negotiating that with him and at his request, he said AT are going to have nothing to do with this negotiation.”
Simeon Brown and his dictatorship Government.
It has been a few years since “Len Brown” was mayor. You probably meant “Wayne Brown”.
Yep my mistake, thanks granada29 and troll Xenophobe.
No, Winston will not cope with not being the deputy PM and will throw his toys out of the cot if he doesn’t die of lung cancer before then.

When a hard right radio jock say’s this, that’s all the evidence we need to know about the corruption of this government.
Do, does polls matter, well maybe. All the social bashing from our welfare, Taupo, slasher, slasher, in the house last week sounding like Diana, of the barricades, protection of humanitarian care, almost, am i, in the right control party.
