wow a New Zealand political party who has detailed policies that are publicly accessible to read prior to next year's general election,
AND has policies developed by its own party members.
They probably deserve more members, volunteers, and donations to lead the next govt.

If you’re looking for a lift- and for policy that doesn’t hide bare minimum ideas behind the rhetoric of progress - take a look at the Greens platform.
For me, a timely reminder that we don’t move forward by lowering our expectations, but by affirming that hard things can and should be done.👇

Among unrealistic promises is that a tax rate of which the only country lower in the OECD is Chile is enough to preserve a historical expected level of public service. Maybe go hard on preserving services.

'Opportunity to stamp my own mark': Chris Hipkins promises a different Labour

It beggars belief that, even with this milquetoast centrist nonsense so incredibly unpopular and ineffective in the US and UK, Labour are still committed to running on it. Read the room guys. Read any of the rooms.

Chippy: Giving Labour voters nothing to vote for since ages ago. 🤦♂️ #nzpol
waiting for the tipping point of Labour members FINALLY giving up on this guy, because this is surely getting to the point where the rightward looking *negative aspiration* becomes untenable
I think the signs here are pointing to a more center right, less caring, more National looking Labour next election
Rather than a Labour that is actually taking a stand and willing to do the work needed to undo the damage this current coliation has done

I'd hoped Hipkins would resign as leader but, now it is clear he won't, I see no point in attacking him. Within his caucus there are MPs who are on the left of the party and several more who are likely to be elected. I will be supporting the Greens to ensure they have too many MPs to ignore #nzpol
