Problem is people don't vote based on which economic ideology is good for them long term, or overall most fair, or best for the well being of the country. The right leaning folk with money are well aware of this and take full advantage

Yeah old Trump has certainly thrown a cat amongst the pigeons economically. Unfortunately that economic recovery that was underway is reversing at least for the time being. But it will still be centre right or left running the country, most interesting thing will be whether Winston can negotiate his way into the PM role.

That’s certainly what Winston will be angling for and his willingness for American politics currently makes me hopeful he doesn’t achieve it
Add the fact that his deputy is the shonkiest politician ever Shane Jones
Winston's too far cooker imo. He's aligned fully with Trump, hopefully he's too toxic to consider now

Dud cyclone - all the warnings and everything shut up and closed down for nothing. State of emergencies declared before the storm just in case…
Last nights flash flooding, no warning, worse damage, significant flooding housing and infrastructure more damaged -an actual state of emergencies due to emergencies!
…and this is why we just need to be resilient and not rely on nanny state protecting us. Nature doesn’t play by a nice neat set of rules.

What’s my right wing ideology? It’s simply personal responsibility and the sum of many individuals making decisions being better than the state ever can.
I’ve had a bit to do with hospitals lately and they send you home as early as possible because your outcomes are better at home than staying longer. Fact.
So even the state run hospital system realised individuals making independent decisions has better outcomes than the state trying to do it for them.
This post and your last one are textbook.

I think Luxon will be rolled soon and Bishop gave me the impression this morning on q and a that he’ll be the one. Tame even joked that he sounded like he wanted to be leader as much as obviously he didn’t want to sound as though he was interested of course. I think it’ll be Bishop against McAnulty potentially by the coming election

That slipped by quietly as much as it will be supported by some
Stanford would be a better candidate, she's done good things in Education.Stuff

100% agree but possibly to junior within National.

She has the Jacinda image and likability that Luxon struggles with.
Jacinda has shown it’s about communication and selling a vision rather than policy, so Bishop would be more of the same as Luxon.
