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.
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

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.

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.
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
