"The plan to negotiate first with the largest party is ridiculous. Opportunity should focus on the parties it believes it could join in government in order to best advance its programme."

Top’s entire antidemocratic philosophy is either politically naive or politically motivated.
I was recently discussing this democratic anomaly with a Top supporter saying as a Green supporter it’s ridiculous to think Top wouldn’t align with the party that supposedly shares some similar environmental policies.
The Top supporter then told me that if I wasn’t prepared to vote Top then the only way to prevent Top returning Luxon and associates to power was to abandon the Greens and vote Labour to ensure they beat National.
I think the Top supporter might’ve accidentally said the quiet part out loud.
