Which would you prefer kiwis? Higher rates/ taxes and public debt, or shit flowing into the sea from broken wastewater infrastructure? Pick one.
Over the last few decades, in both Parliamentary and council elections, we've collectively chosen the latter. Come November we really need to ask ourselves if that's really the kind of country we want to live in.
A demand for courage from the next government.

Want to know how Labour smash National at the #nzelection2026 simple.
1: kick Chippy to the curb give Kieran McAnulty the ball.
2: Actually smash up the Aussie control over the NZ food supply and banking.
3: Start a 5 to 10 cent tax on every $ by any online entity that moves profit out of NZ.
4: decouple from the US $ start focusing on the euro and building the Indian trade the potential is far greater for NZ.
5: pledge to actually increase funding in social spending like healthcare, MSD don't punch down reach down and pull people up.
"After destroying the Māori Party by putting his ego in front of the waka and pursuing a needless leadership challenge inside te Pati Māori, Tākuta Ferris is now lecturing Labour on how to win the election?"

About a week ago, #GordonCampbell threw cold water on the prospect of regime change in 2026;
"National can win with Luxon regardless. This country hasn’t had a genuine one term government since the Labour government of 1957-1960. (If Norman Kirk hadn’t died, his government would probably have been re-elected in 1975.)"
I'm not so sure. In 2019 there was equally good reason to think a one-party majority would never happen under MMP.

How can we present a fair picture of what's changed, for better and for worse, since the 2023 election? Or, is that the wrong question? Maybe people can see for themselves that a lot of things are getting worse, but they'll take some convincing that a change of government would make any difference.
If so, it's on the opposition parties to present a vision for the long term, and a plan for starting to turn things around in the short term.
