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.

Bryan Bruce has done more fourth estate journalism in one documentary than the entire mainstream media have managed all year on housing.

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.

Fanatics shouldn’t be allowed in any debate, the Down Syndrome lobby have done themselves and the cause they stand for a terrible disservice and the religious right have only shown how lunatic fringe they’ve become.
