Dear NZ Labour,
Everyone hates National right now, and a big part of that is their coalition with ACT and NZF, so I'd suggest you get very on board with the Greens and hope that you don't need to touch Seymour or Peters with the shitty end of a very long stick.

They've put major powers in the hands of ministers
And now they continue war on Democracy, centralizing power away from locals

One of the reasons why luxflake loves his corporate structure is that it helps entrench his power as ‘Unchallengeable CEO’. In a trad political party you can question and disagree with leadership, power shifts and leadership on different areas is real. Luxo is far too weak and white for that.
