Prediction: being unable to organise a piss-up in a brewery, they'll instead survey some tiny subset of the population but will have a magic algorithm that can extrapolate out to an accurate picture of the whole country, but the algorithm will be super-sekrit and unauditable by anyone outside the Labour party, it's ok we can trust them because they're kind. |

lolz, National gutted those departments. You can't just magically repopulate departments with quality civil servants.

I'm not disagreeing with you, but how long has Labour been in power again?

I'll do what I do every election. I'll put together a big spreadsheet and list all the parties and their policies and rank them based on how important I think they are at the time of the election, and then I'll give my vote to the party that scores the highest.

Does non-policy behaviour have any weight? The realism of any such policies?

Or are you meaning things like that National tending to cull govt worker headcounts. Where they tend to grow under Labour? Imho, they do grow too large under Labour, but then again the National Cull goes too far the other way. *shrug* Quote:
Even if I agree with a policy in principal if they don't have a solid plan on how to achieve it. It will score poorly with me.

I wouldn't say discarded, but yeah, pretty much. I just don't think policies account for the bulk of government behaviour. They're the dog and pony show that keeps the public distracted while the party gets up to what it really wants to behind the scenes.
Hence my question.

I think I will give:
-1 to any party for each property owned by a current MP (-2 if it's held in a trust) -1 anytime the party campaigns using the words "motu", "whanau", "tamariki" when they simply mean "country", "family", or "children" -2 for every utterance of "robust", "learnings", "aspirational" that I can remember -1 for every candidate that lists their pronouns -2 for every candidate that openly claims to be a socialist -1 for every candidate that claims to represent a Maori place name that I don't recognize and ends up being some place that everyone would otherwise know -1 for using the "used to run an airline" joke -50 for actually running an airline +2 to any party supporting/decriminalizing marijuana +5 if they allow me to shoot/shanghai cats in my garden +100 to any party that proposes bringing back the death penalty I'll add it all up, and smear dog shit on my ballot

I guess I'll post it here even though it's partially a random thought.
I live near the air base, so only I see/hear military aircraft - apart from the occasional nutter landing in a paddock with his helicopter, it's a pretty quiet airspace above me. I heard a plane flying over yesterday, it was obviously quite low for me to notice it, and it was a 747 flying from Ohakea to Guam - "National Cargo" whatever that is. Ohakea being a NZ Air Force base, and Guam being a strategic US military base "near" Taiwan. It was low enough for me to almost read the logo on the bottom, but I didn't recognize it as a carrier I knew. I found it interesting, simply because of the current tensions between China/Taiwan. It might be routine business, but I didn't see any reports of military drills or any humanitarian or rescue efforts relating to/involving Guam - the last drills NZ was involved in ended at the beginning of August, AFAIK. Ohakea has been doing a big upgrade in the last 12 months or so, new hangars I think, and cranes have been on site for a while. Considering we're not in Ukraine but somehow a NZ soldier got killed there, it wouldn't surprise me to find out we're also not involved with Guam/Taiwan and the US/China situation. Worth mentioning, but I don't have any more information than that.

He said that most people in NZ want her to die & she's a psychopathic socialist of dubious gender.
If you really think that's true then perhaps you should reset your social media algorithms.

Sure, if you take his literal words as truth. I just take it as some bloke being mad AF at the prime minister which i agree with. The stats are all fucked. NZ is poked.

Kooky fucks be mad. Critical insight, apparently.

The US condemning Iran for being an oppressive regime over the death of Masha Amini is a bit much. Every other day I see a new instance of a non-white American getting a completely unjustified beat down.
