Unless…
It’s very interesting but it would pay to remember it’s one poll. There will be all sorts of ideas about what it means, so let’s keep our eye on the ball too.
This isn’t a set in stone election, it’s one that is in the midst of change, quite possibly big change. The Greens opened a door. Look at what is changing, where the points in the system are where we can intervene, and use the excitement and energy that is arising to get people out to campaign and vote. It’s the people who turn up on the day that decide the election, and the campaign is a critical factor in both encouraging people to vote and pushing back against the bias and bullshit in the MSM. Let’s make sure we tell the story we want people to hear.
Corbyn achieved what he did in various ways and not least by the people mobilising. He also broke left. Many progressives in NZ are also now shouting to Labour to step up, be bold, go for real and honest, do a Corbyn. So there’s an opportunity there too. Write letters to the paper, phone your local Labour MP, tweet and FB and blog, encourage Labour to do the right thing.
There’s also good Labour policy on offer. Not enough on its own, but let’s not lose sight of what is valuable and in hand. Keep telling people that it’s still worthwhile to change the government.
The Memorandum of Understanding stands, we need Labour as well as the Greens. Keep building momentum, incite hope, #ChangeTheGovt
