  1. All the rural working people, be they farm labourers or small-scale agricultural producers, share the same interests as the working class. Hence nearly 200 years of the ‘farmer-labour alliance’.

    Indeed, the wealthy coastal elite consider the forgotten denizens of the Rustbelt AND the other unwashed masses of Flyover Country to all be “deplorables”. They are the ‘class enemy’, who dare to complain about neoliberalism and vanishing civil liberties.

    Likewise, most of the labour movement always supported the right to bear arms and the right to self defence. The capitulation of unionists to the positions of anti-socialist, Wall Street liberals — and hence leaving an open field for the libertarians — is quite remarkable.

    1. Clark didn’t promote the fact to the whole country thus a vote for National is a vote for Luxons ego and the son of Christ.

  2. You shall reap what you sow.
    This government has been sowing division and destroying social cohesion for 5 years.
    Their changes will be reversed, hopefully peacefully, but peaceful debate seems to be out of fashion

      1. Liar, liar pants on fire is not a discussion
        30% of the population supporting the parliamentary protests, 70% of the population against Three Waters. This is the most divisive government in NZ history partly because they impose policies and ban debate through the Pravda Fund.
        Bomber is right there is a tidal wave of anger out there which ACT is harnessing

        1. You sound all wet and whiny. 70% didn’t support the parliamentary protest and 30% were for 3 waters( was that 70% Farmers against?)

          Sowing division? Insert tui ad here…

          Just because you have a belief doesn’t make your comment any more believable.

  3. Why would any working person vote for more of this Labour Govt?
    Taxing people who work to give to people who dont is not a winning stance. Labour are tanked.
    Act are on the rise because Seymore appeals to the workers and small business grafters, in short they can identify with him.
    On the other hand with Luxon they cant His is the face of corporate big business, the sector that has not always been kind to the workers and grafters = not to be trusted to act in their best interests

    1. If it was really about workers and tax rates, Acts support would be a whole lot higher than 11%. A big chunk if you believe No Comment is about guns and Māori’s

      1. I believe he will hit closer to 20% than 10
        That is certainly the mood in the provinces. That said no one here will vote green. Big cities obviously a different story

  4. That bunny looks stuffed. Taxidermists R’Us. What shape would NZ/AO look when stiff and
    padded out?

  5. The ‘gun registry’ is a crock, and about the only thing Act are right on. I don’t have much time for Orwell, a nasty individualist at the best of times, but he was right about the “rifle on the wall of the labourer’s cottage or working class flat”.

  6. NZF for the protest vote. Seymour hates him and will probably stall him whenever he can.
