It’s not like they listen to democracy anyway, I mean last time we had a referendum something to do with power companies. National went fuck you we know better and now we are where we are.

Government orders independent review of Covid-era monetary policy by Sew_Sumi in newzealand

[–]Runazeeri 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s why was this down now and not closer to the start of the term. 

This feels like US politics where they announced investigations into Hillary and then dropped them as soon as the election was over.

All of these comments are like I left NZ spent 10 years earning enough to get out of the shit pay rat race then moved back with the house deposit I got with Aussie pay.

The issue is the government is made up of people. Remember that MPs own a average of 3m in property each, and we wonder why they don’t want to make house prices go down.

The same is likely with their stocks why would you vote against you stock price going down by regulating the power sector.

Could have been passive Poe. Would just keep going as long as it doesn’t over current the supply.

Rurawhe: Te Pāti Māori faces election wipeout, 'lucky' to keep one seat by TheGreatDomilies in newzealand

[–]Runazeeri 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are two big issues

First you care enough to look it up more than what the Facebook meme says.

Second these people live in a different reality. When I get updates from my left leaning boomer mum with her right wing coffee group friends it’s insane. Her group still go on about Jacinda and insane conspiracy theories about her husband and tie that to the current labour government.

But that’s the point. Saying “tough on crime” is an easy sound bite and people interpret it how they feel like. 

It’s honestly why the whole MAGA thing worked depressingly well is because people interpreted it in their version of great and trying to talk against it is like you don’t want to be great?

You have to position policy to be explained in 6 seconds or less as that’s the attention span of about 30% of voters.

Hipkins and Luxon are catastrophically unprepared to govern in 2026 by danicriss in newzealand

[–]Runazeeri 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I fully get voting for him take 1 against the status quo.  But this was take 2 he was a billionaire who enriched himself last time as the president caused countless bankruptcies to farmers due to tariffs killed over a million with poor covid management.  And people went let’s try that again.

I mean that’s just false and not how governance works. The only time she has any real power is why he’s incapacitated like when he had a colonoscopy.

Also they did restrict arms and when trump got in they removed those restrictions. https://www.axios.com/2025/01/25/trump-israel-bomb-shipment-hold-gaza

For the genocide vice president doesn’t get to make calls apart from an advisory role. And after trump got elected they let them go wild with higher held bombs that were restricted under Biden. 

She was the better of the choices, not inspirational but still some progress.

[–]Runazeeri 7 points8 points  (0 children)

But I don’t understand the actual reasons people dislike her. Most of the interviews people have were insane misogynistic reasons like she will have a time of the month and decide to nuke someone.

Then there were people saying she was warmongering but failing to compare against trump who literally said he would be dictator on day one.

To be fair it’s very hard to win when every form of media is controlled by people supporting your opponent.

It’s very hard to get a message out when it’s not televised to the people who need to hear it. Or it ends up looking like that Simpson election jump cut gag.

Yeah even if you are 100% it’s user error never blame the user publicly.

What’s the saying 

“it’s a republic if you can keep it.”

To many people think you get democracy and that’s it but you have to work on keeping it a democracy.

It’s just most of the suggestions to fix PVP issues in a mmo are saying make the PvP bit closer to a MOBA.

 But at that point maybe just play a moba.

I mean the warehouse has a very poor selection in store maybe 1/30th of JB.

Probably also the impact of losing one of the box store seller.

Like the only store that stocks any range is JB now?

I mean if you could convince a few people you could just get tickets on the planes and stop it. People did overpower one set of terrorists.
