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.
(1/?)
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.
