To be honest, I actually think that's a decent reason, for those on the left, to take a bit of solace in the current government

If the Taxpayers Union thinks she is too moderate, then centre / left voters shouldn't be too disheartened that she's there. Which *should* be a better outcome for those voters than if the TPU got its way

If the government sticks it out with Willis, we'll continue to get boring but moderate policy enacted, rather than a hard swing to the right. Which in my view would have more legs in it than a liberal alternative

But yes the whole modus operandi of the TPU is to pressure governments to keep them on the right wing side of policy

Very right.

According to Hooton it's not because Willis is too moderate, just that she's a worse finance minister then Grant
Admittedly there will be alot of infighting and ideology differences at play.

Willis went way too long into the current term before properly engaging with NZ Inc. The general view is she’s pretty useless.

Farmers first

City people can catch the rail loop to meet our targets, leave food sources and our cows alone.
