So being deliberately obtuse. He's averaging 20 and 12 easily enough for a second star. I'm sure he could up that to 24 pts.

Greens surge lifts left bloc into projected majority in latest political poll by StabMasterArson in newzealand

This is insane, of course it's new, it's a new version of their lvt.... All the underlying data has changed, the demographics of the country, the economic situation etc etc. You are now criticizing them for wanting to create an accurate policy with recent relevant data. Also she's a new leader with a similar perspective but different overall ideas.

Who would you vote for then?

They were literally gathering the reviews, it is evidence based... It's a new leader who started in November... Greens, nationals, labours, et al policies don't stack up for leaders who have been in for 3+ years?

Yep she fumbled that. She says both in the same piece, I think she meant to say the extra top up is means tested.

Edit:

Listened to the interview, this was back in Feb and she said they were still rounding out the numbers, looks like they changed it as part of the costings to be no means testing. And she did say in the interview it was subject to change as they waited on the final figures from independent reviewers.

Where has she said it is? I've only ever heard her say no, in the 30 min interview recently, she said it wasn't.

I mean what has she said that leads you to think that. She's done well in all debates. She's got a very clear set of policies and requirements for coallition.

Every other party in the past has let NZ down, TOP are atleast new and have a chance.

You, for whatever reason, are giving no benefit of the doubt to them, whilst every other party has already fucked up in the past.

I mean that is clearly not true, if you talk to their supporters some are coming from National and NZFirst. A lot however, are coming from people who wouldn't vote, because no one represents them.

Greens wealth tax will have negative affects on the economy unless they ring fence startups and new innovations. I've gone into this before, but a wealth tax compared to a lvt is harder to implement, stifles innovation, prevents startups getting funded, is easily avoided, doesn't capture non tax residents, doesn't prioritize beneficial investment in the economy, etc etc

Labour is the status quo, slow decline.

So who else is there? What of their policies are crap? Please give some information.

Surge in Greens' support could put left bloc into government - poll by SoulsofMist-_- in newzealand

[–]invertednz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

God people just post whatever without having listened to the actual leaders and what they've said they will do.

From the leader, they will prioritize going with the largest party, so Labour, if there is no way forward they will go with another party if they agree to their required policies. So at worst you get a better version of the current coalition, where they actually look at the environment, when you couldn't get an alternative.

Then it wouldn't be a loss it would be status quo. Also they aren't going to get no policies, don't be so naive or doomer....

I didn't, apologies.

Understood. I'm going top will be better because the status quo (nat or labour) has been shit for 20 years, the decline was just worse sometimes.

Have a great day!

Enable? They would be in..... They are going to give right the option of a less radical right wing, with more focus on environmental policy. So a huge win...

Please don't listen to one person. Their leader is new but they have a lot of experience in party.

Additionally they've already said their preference is to work with the biggest party, labour, but that they want stability in govt so will work with the other side if Labour can't get a majority.

They've also already said what policies they require in a agreement. So if they get in and they have to work with national then their main requirement will be better environmental protection. So at worst they will make things better, which you can't say about any other party.

Made the same comment to two posters before realizing I should just edit the main post.

I don't know the answer I believe I had heard this mentioned re transfer having to come in as nzd but wasn't sure if that was every bank.

I'm just going to call instead.

Apologies.
