I don’t care for the current government at all, can’t stand the leader. However I do believe they’re superior to the previous mob. It’s unfortunate the bar is set so low. But putting all that aside, no one should be upset that the cycle is turning. However it all takes time, it will pivot slowly… just as it did when the economy soured, which is why both the current & previous governments need to take blame for what has played out. But geez I put the RB as the single biggest contributor to our recession.Meanwhile the government books are 700m worse than projected in May's budget

One thing that really irks me is during the key government we were fed how these pay rises that politicians received couldn’t be helped and though labour were far from perfect and for sure they both wear blame for the overall state of the country, they showed a freeze was all that was necessary with the state of the economy declining and performance criticised. I’ve seen nothing that warrants that freeze to have been lifted and feel they’re the last that deserves to be rewarded. I’m sure there will be a reason why this is wrong and they still benefited but politics all about optics and in my view labour did the right thing in this regard
I get what you’re saying however I kind of argue the opposite in that if we don’t start paying decent coin then we won’t attract quality people to run the country. Where’s the incentive for quality people to switch currently? All it’s attracting is narcissists and idiots.
Significantly up the pay and significantly reduce the number of them. And switch back to FPP & increase the election cycle to 4 years while we’re at it.
Getting rid of the list MP parasites would be a good start

Politicians that are accountable to noone but their party. Basically list MPs are just bureaucrats with on 3 yearly contracts
Tha act party seems pretty unaccountable. So does nz first for that matter
Absolutely

And so do the equivalents on the other side of the political spectrum. In fact they probably take it to a whole new lower level of disgrace

And there's a fair number of complete fuckwits in their ranks of all parties
Nah they're very accountable... to their donors
Fuckwits would surely outnumber non-fuckwits. I’d argue a couple of parties are 100% fuckwits.

TPM and the Greens have certainly added nothing to the betterment of anyone since the days of Turia/Sharples and Fitzsimmons/Norman
Save a bunch of money throwing them into the weeds
So…. The choice is either TPM/Greens vs ACT/NZ First?
The West Island is looking more enticing every day!!!!
