    I disagree- they voted in their short term interest with tax cuts and blaming labour for the state of things. Our country is lacking soo much, and this was people just wanting something to take the edge off now.

      Take the edge of in what way ? Pretty short sighted if a couple months helps but then national policies kick in and things get markable worse. But who knows aye

        Oh, it is shortsighted. But people can’t think about the future if they are struggling now and it is something we all do. 2k tax cut gives me something now, 100,000 homes in 10 years I have to wait for.

          Which is probably why we are in this situation. We don’t look to the future. Gotta start thinking big picture. Planets fucked. Need some drastic changes or this is humanities end.

          But I get yah

            Im curious what way you voted - I didn’t vote any of the big 4 because their focus is the 3 year reelection (and act/green is effectively a lab/nat vote). Don’t need to answer, just speaking out loud and happy to see others are on the same page.

              Unfortunately I’m eligible to vote( resident not citizen) but I would vote green.

              Labour or green are an attack on national. Only way to fight national is to push up labour.

              Two party systems are a big issue.

                I went TOP because I agree with alot of their future plans, and if they got in would hope they side with Labour - green was my second.

                The big parties need to be reminded they aren’t NZ, and they aren’t guaranteed.

            Labour - no. But pushing things in a direction can facilitate construction. I’ve been seeing huge number of subdivisions come in, rezoning and growth up but it takes time and the global situation has been kicking everyone’s ass and there is little any NZ govt can do about it.
