To date, the Left have hated the idea of using MMP the way the Right use it. That’s because the Right like to win while the Left likes to loose and whinge about how unfair it is that they lost.
There is a suggestion that Labour and NZ First are somehow not on the same page over Ihumātao. I’d suggest it’s a separation of difference that is incredibly tiny and measured in the millimetres.
I didn’t hear anyone who sounded like they could go toe to toe with Trump and pitch an alternative America.

Whaleoil, more than any other media vehicle, gave voice to the ugly and violent part of NZs psyche. Malevolent always with a spite that justified its political bitterness, it allowed the sewer of our worst angels to feel empowered and feared.
How lucky are Democrats that they have 10 remarkable candidates with real passion and vision for America? It didn’t denigrate into insults or mud slinging, it was a great debate of ideas.
After damaging the country for 9 years by underfunding all our social services and basic infrastructure, after falsely pumping the economy up by selling cheap milk powder to China and opening up the immigration taps to prop up property speculation they are still recording 45% in the polls???
SAS forces on a revenge attack, personally signed off by the Prime Minister, killed and wounded 21 civilians and the NZDF have lied throughout to hide that massacre. To now debate semantics over who they thought they could kill and who they couldn’t is a deplorable way to determine justice.
