Dear NZ – Don’t. You. Dare. Vote. Early. In. 2023!
Don’t. You. Dare. Vote. Early. In. 2023!
I can not urge this enough from you all comrades.
Don’t vote early in the 2023 election.
I’m not going to tell you who to vote for because this is a liberal progressive democracy and your right to chose who you want in the secrecy of that ballot box is a scared privilege and is your god damned right as a citizen.
But what I will beg of you, is to not vote early in 2023.
Comrades, on our horizon is inflation in double figures, geopolitical shockwave after geopolitical shockwave and a global economic depression.
As a nation we will face some of the toughest choices and decision making outside of war time and that means you must press those bloody MPs to respond to real policy solutions and make those buggers promise to change things and you can’t do that if you hand your vote over 2 weeks before the bloody election!
Keep demanding concessions and promises for your vote right up until midnight before election day AND THEN cast your vote!
This election is going to be too important to just let politicians waltz into Parliament without being blistered by our scrutiny.
Increasingly having independent opinion in a mainstream media environment which mostly echo one another has become more important than ever, so if you value having an independent voice – please donate here.

Unfortunately Martyn there are many people who will base their vote on their policy of ‘not the incumbent’. They rip into the current government ( and not without justification) but won’t acknowledge that National are probably only a pronoun or two different (but with a shiny white evangelist twist); or they bemoan the state of the poor and middle ish class and cheer for ACT for fs! That’s not to imply theses parties are the only options but its clear from many posts here, that those are the horses in the race. If you actually listen to Luxon he is not really saying much of anything and when challenged tends to walk things back anyway. David Seymour just swans around being a smart arse. Ok he has put some frightening suggestions out there but his coalition partner will be all Hall & Oates and say “no can do”
Oh, and Labour are canning democracy for an ethno state.
I’m voting TOP, and I’m not interested in mingling with election day crowds. Change my mind.
One thing for sure is that if Jacinda promises something she is lying and will either do nothing or do the opposite. Just all remember that.
It’s hard to see what will be achieved in the couple of weeks before the election. Six long years of decline rescued at the 11th hour?
Everything seems to be falling apart, more division, more homelessness, more crime, more suicides, the health system failing, educational standards declining, moribund productivity, and, just out, a further big slide in competitiveness – now down to 31st place. Government efficiency was ranked at 7th in 2018, now 17th. No wonder consumer confidence is at a forty year low and that’s a big deal – people need confidence to invest their futures. Is NZ, under the current regime, an attractive option?
What a choice!
One dusty star lady or some John Key apprentice.
Who the hell even thinks of a 50 year old apprentice.
A choice is not a replacement for building a movement.
Luxon came out against spending in his budget reply effectively giving Jacinda an open check book. Fucken do something woman.
Luxon has confirmed that his first job will be to remove taxes from his 7 properties. Thanks Jacinda.
