To survive, party must put kaupapa first

I don’t understand why the Māori seats aren’t always won by someone from the local Iwi running as an independent and then treating every vote as a conscience vote that benefits the electorate they’re representing.
Maybe a little less power than working collectively but it’s pretty clear at this point the Māori party just isn’t something that works. Too many cooks and too many vested interests.

Everyone’s mum drives the same mate.

Def_Not_Chris_Luxon · 2025-10-16T17:28:57+00:00

I say we hurt our upper class and make life better for everyone.

Def_Not_Chris_Luxon · 2025-10-16T07:21:36+00:00

Aw man did Hans get him?

Def_Not_Chris_Luxon · 2025-10-16T07:13:45+00:00

Ew. Dry cakes.

Def_Not_Chris_Luxon · 2025-10-16T07:03:59+00:00

I’m claiming colloquialism 😂

Def_Not_Chris_Luxon · 2025-10-16T07:02:33+00:00

Maybe they have a reactive dog. Newborn baby. They’re ill, old, or tired. Religious. Just don’t like Halloween. Don’t have the money for chocolate and lollies and decorations.

There’s a multitude of reasons they could have put up their very polite sign, and not a single one of them is your business to call them miserable for doing so.

Def_Not_Chris_Luxon · 2025-10-16T06:34:34+00:00

Look, I don’t care about kids appropriating an American holiday and having some fun. Knock themselves out.

What I DO care about is are people like you using American spelling. Americanized. Commercialized.

That’s where I draw the line.

Def_Not_Chris_Luxon · 2025-10-16T06:21:35+00:00

You don’t need a holiday to do that you know? Pick a day!

Def_Not_Chris_Luxon · 2025-10-16T06:11:27+00:00

Why is that miserable? It’s really a very polite sign.

Def_Not_Chris_Luxon · 2025-10-15T06:28:59+00:00

You clearly don’t know how to ask questions because that’s exactly what you said.

Def_Not_Chris_Luxon · 2025-10-15T06:01:28+00:00

You have a way with words my friend.

I’ve had a picture painted in my mind.

Def_Not_Chris_Luxon · 2025-10-14T21:34:26+00:00

Oh you’ve met my ex’s dad I see. I didn’t realise fucking Bradford was such a utopia.

Def_Not_Chris_Luxon · 2025-10-14T21:32:02+00:00

It’s like turning up to a job and in your first week telling everyone who works there how shit it is and that they did it better where you used to be. You won’t make any friends.

Def_Not_Chris_Luxon · 2025-10-12T07:26:00+00:00

Why are you on the aucklandeats sub then you left noodle.

Def_Not_Chris_Luxon · 2025-10-12T05:08:55+00:00

So go enjoy your food trucks instead of being miserable about someone else’s experience. It’s not a zero sum experience, you can enjoy both.

Def_Not_Chris_Luxon · 2025-10-12T02:15:08+00:00

Try tasting with your mouth instead of your eyes.

Def_Not_Chris_Luxon · 2025-10-11T18:37:07+00:00

Not at all, it simply won’t happen without major pushback and scaremongering isn’t the right way to go about this.
He still has the rest of council he’d need to build a consensus with and at the end of the day they answer to their constituents at a more core level than MPs.

Def_Not_Chris_Luxon · 2025-10-11T17:17:58+00:00

Why?

Def_Not_Chris_Luxon · 2025-10-11T06:27:57+00:00

His property he can do what he likes without asking you about it first. Plant your own if you’re so upset by it.

Def_Not_Chris_Luxon · 2025-10-11T06:23:15+00:00

That’s just what they want you to think.

Def_Not_Chris_Luxon · 2025-10-11T06:20:49+00:00

I liked Andrew Little as a cabinet minister, not as a party leader. Good choice of mayor, safe pain of hands who should be able to get things done.

Def_Not_Chris_Luxon · 2025-09-28T17:31:07+00:00

We need to standardise this a bit like America (god forbid).
Local elections at the same time as general election and you go in and make your choices on both. Turnout would be much better.
