Wow! Been on the turps, have you Gordon!
New Zealand held its first general election under the Mixed Member >Proportional (MMP) electoral system on 12 October 1996.Tautology.
"I would say to you" that the current government is almost totally
"Off Track", that an inept Prime Minister is incompetent
and that theAbsolute garbage. Not a word of truth in that.
Atlas Network is the only source of ideas for all three parties.
Certainly it took nearly a full year to confirm to most New ZealandersWe should be thankful that we survived 6 years of Labour led government destroying the health service (and many otgher things). Thank goodness also that this one is at least rebuilding a failed model.
that the "Coalition of Chaos" is significantly Off Track - and that
will be confirmed in the Prefu to be presented soon. Just try not to
need hospitalisation in the next two years, Gordon.

major reforms affecting every household in NZ with 3 waters, none of
which was ever mentioned in their pre-election manifesto.
When Hipkins was elected Labour leader he immediately initiated a
'policy bonfire' but 3-waters was already embedded in law so he could
not touch it (no Government has ever repealed an Act it introduced, in
the same Parliamentary term).

still room for significant improvement, but a welcome change to what
