What pisses me off is half the country don't want what's actually best for the country.... they just want whoever the current government to fail so there's can get a turn.

That's what's happened for the last six years.... and now for however many years this one lasts.

Totally agree with you Miket12.

Winston = Attorney General. Seymour = Deputy pm. Ministerial roles for Jones and Van Velden and maybe Hoggard.

It will depend on what Winnie wants imo

Unfortunately I don’t think there’s a current party out there that is capable of doing what’s best for the country.

Agreed. I'm of the opinion that we should revamp the entire system starting with getting rid of most of our pollies and doubling the salaries of the others

What do we replace it with?

How do we get improvement when the issues are controlled by the crises chosen by the politicians themselves so distract from the real big hard issues that never get talked about?

I think system is screwed up; there is widespread disengagement (see low voter turnout and moves away from the main parties) but I can’t see an alternative being palatable.

Our society is being dumbed down and made into modern day slaves and the biggest problem is society is passively accepting this…

Wouldn't improvement in the quality of future politicians be a step in the right direction

Take your home town for example..... the council seem more interesting in fixing a problem which doesn't seem to even be an issue (supermarkets and off licenses selling booze before 10AM) while ignoring their own disfunction.

My wife came up with something quite interesting. Because there’s usually a cabinet reshuffle in 18 months time, offer the first 18 months to Winnie. Then offer the second 18 months to Seymour. If Seymour has decided by then that he doesn’t want the role, Winnie keeps it. If Winnie doesn’t want the role in 18 months time, Willis or another National MP gets promoted to the role.

Picked it!

Can tell exactly what will happen now…

Winston will work collaboratively for the first 2 years. Then once he’s away from the leadership, he will manufacture shock horror about a whole lot of issues to differentiate NZ first from the government and then say next election he could might go Labour and is the central vote.

Winstons so predictable

You have to say Luxon has done a good job bringing this all together and in a fairly short 20 days. Very comprehensive coalition and policy agreements. Next step is the actions that follow all of this up.

And I believe the best parts of each party’s policies have been taken up with the worst parts discarded.

I’m positive heading forward… until Winston goes toxic in the 3rd year

I’m expecting good results for NZ.

So what is happening with the controversial foreign buyers tax policy

Let's get this straight, it's no longer Jessica-Tova and Tova-Jessica. Everyone gets a chance to ask questions. Love it!

Gone

You've read the "comprehensive coalition and policy agreements" already?

Still getting the tax cuts though.

And so it begins.

If Winston gets his way there may no longer be a Jessica/Tove show

Honestly listening to Luxon his speech writer sounds exactly the same as Ardern used to. She could have delivered that speech. Delivery and wording not policy.

 

[Inruin]

No, but getting these three to align is a obviously comprehensive based on the summaries given. Looks like a fair and proportional distribution of positions. Good job, done.

Buckle up

Friends and Whānau Fund 2.0…… hopefully, there will be more accountability about where the money goes this time.
