@runoutgroover IMHO there are massive differences between and not least because of the presence and influence of Te Tiriti o Waitangi and Māori MPs, and history within Aotearoa of suffrage movement and gay liberation. And first elected trans woman MP, Georgina Beyer. All very influential in NZ party's understanding of human issues. I can't see any of that understanding in UK Labour, maybe a bit of the suffrage background but not much else.

One problem with NZ Labour - and liberal parties in general - is that they're caught in a vicious cycle. When their support goes down in the polls, like most of the news media, they interpret it as evidence that their policies are too "radical", and alienating the mythical "centre" where "middle NZ" live. So they cut transformative policies and dog whistle at people influenced by right-wing populism. So their support goes down in the polls. Rinse, repeat.

are a spent party. They have no vision and no real purpose beyond putting a pink-tinged figleaf on neoliberal policies.

Hipkins slamming the NatACTS for proposing tax cuts that mostly benefit the wealthy... while ruling out desperately needed wealth taxes - morally equivalent to tax cuts - is rank hypocrisy. Hopefully the anti-NatACT public respond by shifting their votes from Labour to the Greens, Te Pāti Māori, and TOP. All of whom support making making the wealthy pay their fair share of tax.

There is an alternative universe where go into an election with a progressive manifesto which targets inequality and fires up the left. That is not this universe and it will never be.

If can manage to form Gvt in October 2023 - it will ONLY do so with the support of and

That means the opportunity for some transformational change, not tinkering incrementalism.

2023 poses two very different futures for the country.

I'm loving how completely limp this opposition is. Pathetic. Sadly, is little better. Time to replace the 'major' parties and relegate them to 'minor' status.

pick a Wahine Māori for your leader! Spark the imagination for what our country should be! That's how you turned the election in 2017. That's the sort of change we need.
