The thread centers on New Zealand's upcoming election, primarily debating the economic management and policy differences between the center-left Labour government and center-right National/ACT opposition. Key criticisms target Labour's fiscal stewardship, citing ballooning government expenditure #7#272, housing unaffordability, and unfulfilled promises like KiwiBuild and dental care expansion #16#12. A user #7 highlighted Labour's annual 9% spending growth versus 1.5% under previous governments, arguing this fueled inflation. National's tax-cut policy faced scrutiny over funding gaps and legality, with user #215 questioning Luxon's reliance on "trust me" assurances.
Leadership competence emerged as a critical theme, particularly in later posts. Luxon drew heavy criticism after a contentious interview where he struggled to defend policy details #194#199#211, while Willis faced backlash for her economic credentials. Hipkins garnered fleeting praise for articulation but was ultimately seen as representing poor governmental outcomes #45#119. A trusted user #308 presented expert economic analysis contradicting Treasury optimism. Infrastructure issues—like Wellington's water crisis and the dental school staffing shortage—were cited as examples of systemic mismanagement #235#12. Notable policy debates included road-user charges for EVs #220, immigration impacts on rents #299, and coalition scenarios involving NZ First #182#258. Early fringe discussions on candidates' rugby allegiances gave way to substantive policy critiques, culminating in grim Treasury forecasts discussed in posts #271#304#308. User #168 also revealed concerns about Labour rushing regulatory changes to entrench policies pre-election.

What's your definition of most in terms of a percentage?most māori on a benefit.
Why is it ok people surmise parties policies and form opinions like act - for the rich pricks; greens - bunch of tree huggers but you surmise the policy position of another party and because the party’s based on race, critical views are racist?What's your definition of most in terms of a percentage?
I just asked the guy to clarify what "most" is in terms of a percentage?Why is it ok people surmise parties policies and form opinions like act - for the rich pricks; greens - bunch of tree huggers but you surmise the policy position of another party and because the party’s based on race, critical views are racist?
I’ve seen plenty of their policies and them standing up for beneficiaries and gangs. I’ve seen no policies about growing the country or creating jobs.
Anymore than now.What's your definition of most in terms of a percentage?
That seems a bit avoidant.Anymore than now.
I think some posters in this thread need to reflect on the issue of racism in the country & think about how they post.Ultimately TMP would find most māori on a benefit. That is what they want and need for their political relevance.
The Tax Policy of TPM upsets people more than the parties influenced / infiltrated by the NRA and the Tobacco industry.TPM are no different to any other party really - they pander to their potential voter pool. We all know where they sit on the political spectrum and they are unapologetic about it. They’re a minority party, so by definition most of us will disagree with a lot or in some cases nearly all of their policies.
I take it that you are here referring to me?I think some posters in this thread need to reflect on the issue of racism in the country & think about how they post.
rather than crying about being victimised by "tall poppy syndrome"

It's just a point that private school boys are indoctrinated to a world view,I take it that you are here referring to me?
The “tall poppy syndrome” that was mentioned by me the other day was referring to how you constantly mention my private schooling, as if you have a some sort of chip on your shoulder
Don’t try to conflate today’s discussion with that tete a tete from a few days ago
Thanks for the lecture. I’ll use your generalisation of school kids to spend my weekend reflecting on your opinion.It's just a point that private school boys are indoctrinated to a world view,
