Jack Tame's job is to ask the hard questions of whichever politician is in front of him, and to pressure the politician to answer the questions. Shaw got off lightly compared to the Winston Peters interview immediately before him. Part of the Peters ...
Depends who you want in power Dylan.
ok, fair enough. That's not the intention of the Triple the Vote campaign. It's more about getting people to vote. Yes, there is encouragement to share material on voting progressively as well but the tone isn't busybody or harassment.
not following you there George, are you saying the WRP are being mislabelled? The WRP aren't FR, Jill Ovens is solid NZ left with a strong background in unions, and the Alliance and Labour.
Some good candidates for the Women's Rights Party. I still support voting Green, TPM, or Labour, every vote counts in this election so that the left can form government. But for those that really can't vote left WRP is a good choice. I hope that whatever ...
I think they are behind schedule with getting the regular papers out so I'm guessing they're overloaded. Hope you get it sorted.
probably fixable by email if you aren't able to phone them.
How is it different from political parties doorknocking?
Yet I had to keep quiet about it onsite here. Looks to me like your antipathy for the Greens is clouding your judgement and perception (that's ironic). We've had conversations here about what the Greens did to Jill, including ones you were involved with. ...
great advice cheers.
see this is irony. Anti-green culture on the coast for decades has meant the voting in of climate denier councillors and mayors. Now the coast is one of the first places to be forced to adapt by extreme weather events. Let's see how many climate deniers ...
I can't see anything ironic about it. It's just stupid and selfish. He's not the only leftie that is ok with the left losing this election, but all of it is daft.
Imagine calling oneself left wing and then writing an anti-leftist post three days before voting opens in a general election.
why?
thanks Anne, appreciate that. The biggest challenge I find currently is limiting FB/twitter-esque commentary on TS.
wow, who is talking menopause leave?
I'd like to watch it again because there is a fair amount about social media and it made me think about how much we hold a particular space here at TS to allow meaningful debate rather than allowing emotionally reactivity to drive argument.
I just watched this debate hosted by the Free Speech Union. Don't let that put you off, it's good. I disagreed and agreed with all four debaters, and had my own thinking challenged by much of the discussion, as well rolling my eyes quite a few times. Moot:...
Convo on twitter about National's 1990 election campaign and how they lied, promising to make changes to Labour's neoliberalisation of NZ and then carrying on with it. Anyone got a reference for the campaign material they used pre-election? Here's Jim ...
please fix the typo in your email address so you don't get caught in the spam filter.
"...sad that's that's even an issue these days."
Roy is pointing out that perception matters.
good opportunity for the left to strengthen the Greens and TPM, both of whom understand class and are working on socioeconomic and justice issues.
glory in it.
ok, but as I pointed out, there aren't enough of the people you like for the left to win the election.
this is certainly one of the issues that the left has in winning this election. They will vote NZF instead and it's game over if NZF get above 5%. I really don't understand this liberal idea that the left can afford to say only the people we approve of ...
as the person that wrote the post, I'm suggesting that we don't have a fight between lefties under a post encouraging people to vote left. The term cooker does get used as a pejorative on TS. I agree with gsays that this is a problem. While the origins of ...
I also think you missed the point and would encourage you to go back and read gsays comments again in the context of a post about how to encourage people to vote left. Think about undecided and non-voters reading this thread.
Well said grays.

I wrote a month ago about the Greens polling at 12%, which would give them 15 Green MPs, up from their current 10. It looked to me that the political courage of the Greens is working. Unlike the chaos of the 2017 election that followed the political …
