…personally I think there are far bigger issues to worry about in terms of National’s incredibly close relationship with powerful and rich Chinese businessmen.
The truth is that Labour can only bring about a progressive Government with the Greens. Look at the political freak show cavalcade of NZ First MPs. Other than Tracey Martin and maybe Ron Mark, they are Talkback radio callers with the intellectual nuance of a pool of piss that has been left in the sun for a week.
Rise up and demand another way, rise up and force change, rise up and never let these rich pricks trade our dignity for their illusions of wealth.
Bryan Bruce has done more fourth estate journalism in one documentary than the entire mainstream media have managed all year on housing. In a country where the sleepy hobbits don’t want to be woken from their slumber with economic ideologies when the Bloc is on, we have allowed a train wreck neoliberal experiment to benefit the few while crucifying the many.
Chris Trotter’s comments this morning that the Left have to bring over new voters rather than eat each others support base are perfectly timed.
Since Jacinda Ardern has become Leader of the Opposition, Labour has announced the following key policies:
At 37, Jacinda is a product of her educational culture which was all about inclusion, (think Glee where everyone gets to participate), now inclusion culture can be mocked as giving everyone a certificate for participating by older generations who want to promote winners and losers, but it misses the strength that inclusion brings with it.
There’s a chance Labour could lose Te Tai Tokerau and Te Tai Hauāuru and possibly gain Waiariki, but only focusing on the electorates misses the bigger picture, and that’s in Party vote. The Party vote determines the final shape of the Parliament and in this case, the Party vote that Maori voters are looking to send Labour is enormous and could well see Labour in the mid 40s.
The fear of many is that National’s incredibly close relationship with China from mass immigration, to close personal business relationships has fuelled an electoral feedback loop that is benefitting China and Chinese residents over New Zealanders.
