That is assuming they see adherence to neo-liberalism as an issue. And there lies the issue!

At last - something good to vote for!
Anecdotal - yes, and hardly scientific - but the people I meet driving an uber two nights a week are - solidly Green or TPM voters, lesser number favouring Labour - quite disparaging of Luxon and think Act is a bit of a joke - hardly ever mention Winston, ...
Yes, a comprehensive victory. Now - keep it up for the rest of the tournament!
Significantly, apart from one mention at the beginning, the panel didn't discuss Seymour at all. Act have peaked at 9% IMO, and with the Natz in steady decline, and Winnie showing he's past his use-by date, there's everything to play for. As Bomber says, ...
But Luxon repeatedly said 'the average family would receive $250 a fortnight.' No 'up to.' Just a broad and bold statement. At best, that is deceptive. At worst, when he apparently knew all along that only 0.18% of 'average' families would get the maximum,...
Interestingly, hardly any mention of Seymour in the post-match analysis! Act has peaked at about 9% IMO. And on tonight's performance, Winnie is well past his use-by date. TMP and Greens clear winners! Judging by the few instance of applause, the audience ...
Just received in the male a NZF flier entitled Let's Take Back Our Country. "The flier reads: New Zealanders like you deserve a better government with experienced heads to keep the system honest." Yet looking at the NZF party list, as far as I recall, only...
what I do like about them is that they seem quite principled, They (the Greens) are the only principled party in parliament (though TPM should be included in my statement). Certainly, none of the parties on the right have any principles - except perhaps ...
Yes, I haven't heard anything from two of the better NZF politicians in the coalition - Ron Marks and Tracy Martin. Very telling!
I'm not a bible reader, but I recall, I think, from my much earlier days, something about the sins of the fathers being revisited on the children and the children's children. Which old testament philosophy would sit well with an evangelical fundamentalist ...
flakey con-man image That was about the only thing that did turn up! Luxon is a salesman, mouthing slogans and platitudes and saying whatever necessary to make a sale. He's as shallow as a puddle after 10 minutes of drizzle! And Chippie quite rightly ...
Postscript: National continues to drop, and this trend will continue. Act has stalled, and will drop to around 9% on Election night. As a leftie, I hoped for better from Labour. But the Greens went up in the TV1 poll. This will continue. And TPM will do ...
As I've mentioned before on this forum, I speak with an entirely random cross section of the public, including a large number of young people. Accepting there is no scientific basis for my conclusions (though probably as relevant as some opinion polls) the...
Competing on cruelty: No Right Turn’s take on Natz and NZ First bene bashing: “But then, its not supposed to make sense, let alone work. It's just supposed to be performatively cruel, to attract the votes of vicious arseholes who can only feel good from ...
‘Tis the season for predictions – and TV1 is already salivating over their latest poll, appearing on the news tonight. OK, I’ll play the game: National – down slightly to about 37%. The absurdity of Natz tax cuts begins to sink in! Labour – up slightly to ...
An open letter from Gerald Otto to Christopher Luxon - containing some pertinent truths which should be more wide broadcast! https://nickrockel.substack.com/p/letter-to-luxon?utm_source=profile&utm_medium=reader2
Kat, this friend suggested a few weeks ago on TS that Act had peaked at 9%. NZ just doesn't have the collective stomach for the loonies in Act. And judging from tonight's Young Voters' Debate, the NZ First bloke in a conspiracy nutter (referencing global ...
It might also show Act hovering around 9% - doubly stressing the soap salesman! Just guessing!
Was it significant that in the minor parties debate the other night, Seymour and Peters were as far away from each other as was possible? Truly, if, God forbid, they ever have to go into coalition with Natz to form a government, they will be a Coalition of...
So you would expect. But another neoliberal creed of Natz and Act is - socialise the costs and privatise the profits. Don't hold your breath.

Score card for the Leaders Debate: Natz win! Outstanding performance by Natz leader Christopher Luxon! In the category of answers ‘Mostly Untrue’ and ‘False’ – Luxon 6, Hipkins 0. Such a one-sided contest! https://twitter.com/Kiwi_Rascal/status/...
Don't hold your breath! Unless there's a buck or several to be made by one of their big donors, I doubt the Natz will entertain the idea.
Confirmation. https://twitter.com/MxDEJ/status/1703541739452268777
Apparently he's also an ex-member of the Destiny Church too!* Alarm bells should be ringing loudly! Another cranky fundamentalist like Luxon et al? Edit: *Can't find where I read that so may not be true.
Take heart, troops! This is not scientific, except in the sense that a computer matches customers with my car. I drive uber 2 nights a week, and ask all my passengers if they intend to vote. About 90% of the time this leads to further discussion, when I ...
Well, I never! Even as a joke, that's pretty damned irresponsible!
A funny but sad story about the election – and the appalling level of understanding of some voters. I drive uber 2 nights a week. I always ask my passengers if they intend to vote, and urge them to do so if they say they don’t. Sometimes this leads to a ...
The message is quite simple really: vote Greens or TPM as if your life depended on it! It does!
