Thread by Kevin Hague, former Green MP on his private capacity:
Friday 11 July 2025 thread https://bsky.app/profile/kevinhague.bsky.social/post/3ltnb7t5yjc2j
"On RNZ’s political panel I heard that Seymour has been saying that Nats & NZ1st HAVE to support RSB because they said they would support THE Bill in Coalition Agreements. That’s pure rhetoric: THE Bill didn’t EXIST at the time so the Agreements have to be read as contingent.
For example, the Nat & NZ1st parties will have assumed any RSB they were asked to vote for would improve good governance and economic efficiency, as the Agreement states. This one doesn’t. They would have assumed a proper process. This one hasn’t even followed its own rules.
And, anyway, what’s he going to do? Force an election?"
Today 12 July 2025 he up'd the thread with comment:
"I’m hearing journalists echoing Seymour’s line. It is ABSOLUTELY NOT game over. National and NZ First still have a choice to make and we can help them make the right one" https://bsky.app/profile/kevinhague.bsky.social/post/3ltqyn7kp6c2f
