New Zealand Election 2017

[Phony Moderate]

Boy New Zealand seems to have by the most BORING politics in the English speaking world - no change from the last election, so swing to the left like we have seen in the UK or Australia or BC, no rise of rightwing populism...what happened? NZ used to have lots of high drama politically

Their polling companies don't even treat us to any LULZpolls. The Nationals, I think, have led every single published opinion poll since 2007.

Had a feeling that English would be vulnerable if the left just got its act together.

Labour should put Jacinda Ahern in charge, capture that Trudeaumagic

What do you think, now that it's actually happened?

I was thinking "Helen Clark with charisma" rather than of Trudeau.

ardern is hardcore liberal, clintonite of worst kind, she cant win. her 'safety net' plan can get her boost, but not win.

Applying American meanings of words to non-American politics...ugh.

Surely Winston's dislike of ACT is at least partly a matter of principle. They represent Rogernomics, whereas Winston is an old school protectionist.
