Cannabis referendum was non-binding, EoL was binding, IIRC

America may be an ultra-right theocracy... but still has more relaxed attitude towards cannabis than NZ.

Cheesy grin

Special votes: National loses two MPs, one each to Labour, Māori Party

Thrilled about the extra seat for Maori.

The outcome of the cannabis referendum is a real bummer.

The real bummer would be if Labour sees the result, the volume of people who support the reform, the health advice for reform, and then not engage in that reform.

Then get ready for a bummer of a time. The indications from Labour were of not looking at changing unless it was a 2/3 majority

There's no political risk for them right now. If the Greens come up with some attractive option that plays to both sides, I wonder if Labour might not take the time to think pragmatically over politically.

I'm not expecting anything of course, but all kinds of things are possible right now.

Typical Act hypocrisy. Why create jobs people actually want to do when you can import cheap labour?
