It's a combination. They're complete idiots who are happy for the consequences of their incompetence to fall on other people.

For one brief, shining moment at the start of the lockdowns, it looked like we could all cut the bull and actually care for each other.
Then clowns like "voices for freedom" had to remind us all that selfish people always have and always will exist, and they will ruin anything they can.

Evidence never factors in to this government's decisions. Thankfully our legal system has not yet been corrupted. <glares at America>

If they still haven't put out a party statement on this then that seals it for me. They're trying to gauge the numbers before deciding whether they have morals.

They've got a bunch of decent MPs, under the yoke of the "steady as she goes" Nat-Lite core leadership. It's basically false advertising. The actual progressives should jump ship to Green, TPM, hell even TOP. Just leave the old guard behind on the rotting hull of the labour party and let it sink.

Another mediocre middle-aged white man whose resistance-less upbringing and circle of sycophants has convinced him that he's a genius who can easily dismantle any opposition argument with little to no effort. Stands up, flings out some glib but meaningless blather, and finds himself torn to shreds.

Unrelated, but can I just say thank you for being on here and engaging with us, rather than just using social media as another spout for press releases.

Yep, but if there's one thing social media users are good at these days it's strawmanning.

So basically "Racism is fine if the voters don't specifically throw us out for not doing enough about it"? Wonderful.
Time for some "Goldsmith says he will be racist if we elect him" signs.

I don't know either. I presume since they still represent a constituency and answer to the electorate, but maybe it's more about their ministerial portfolio than that.

Tania's fantastic. Sam's clearly used to being the rich kid with an improvised cudgel and he's way out of his depth in an adult world.

Surely any overhaul would start with a series of questions like "What isn't working" and "What do we want to achieve"? Not just "We blew this whole thing up let's see if we can do something better."

I can see them thinking that. Problem is any "centrist" worried about Greens or TPM but not NZ1 or Act is no centrist.
And that's not news, really. Everyone who claims to be a centrist is basically "I don't mind green energy" combined with "I enjoy some casual racism, as a treat".

1500 car parks for a 50,000+ seat stadium? All that will do is give people the false impression that they can find a park there and cause a traffic nightmare on game days.
They should just have a reasonable amount of patrolled accessibility parks, and make public transport part of any ticket price.

They want it to be considered radical though. They want kleptocracy with a side of slavery to be the middle ground.
