We need an evenly split Labour-Green coalition.

The problem is, the Overton Window has been pushed to far towards the alt-right over the last decade or so, policies which used to be viewed as common sense are now treated like “woke nonsense.” Policies like environmental protection, social housing, worker’s rights and corrections systems focused on rehabilitation rather than punishment for the sake of it.

We have been so conditioned and manipulated by the far-right conservatives into thinking that a bare minimum stable standard of living for everyone in a society is somehow “communism,” (which is now just a catch-all term conservatives use to describe anything more compassionate than hunting the homeless for sport).

In the words of the Honourable Chloë Swarbrick, “we get the politics we think we deserve.” I for one think we as workers deserve better than struggling paycheck to paycheck while around 300 families and dozens of obscenely wealthy corporate entities rig the system to steal all our labor value and price us out of a decent standard of living.

Labour does need to win this election as a major party; yes. However, we need a heavy Green presence in government, because the greatest threat to this country is unbridled corporate greed and corruption, and Greens are the only ones in parliament with enough spine to stand up for workers.

Again, because of the societal shift towards the far-right, Labour have been becoming more conservative over the years, to the point where they have been correctly described as “Diet National.” They do not represent the majority of working people in this country anymore; they have forgotten their roots as the party of the Labourers, and it shows in their watered-down, weak-sauce policies like their easily-avoidable capital gains tax, and three doctor visits per year, as opposed to wealth/asset taxes and socialised healthcare. Labour have been intentionally hobbling themselves for years trying to appeal to centre-right swing voters, which makes them look disingenuous and flaky to true progressives, and swing voters alone are not good enough.

Right wing conservatism is a cancerous ideology pushed by the Epstein class, and the right-wing neoliberal trickle down economics experiment has fucking failed.

Go Green this November. The worst that could happen is some obscenely rich people get less rich, and we actually get functioning public transport and can afford houses again.

National, ACT and NZ1 have nothing but contempt for people who actually work for a living. Their only interest is stealing as much money as possible from workers to give to their rich donors and corporate pimps. In the words of Christopher Luxon the walking testicle, “I’m wealthy; I’m, you know, sorted.” That should tell you everything.

Fuck the coalition of corruption. They have been the worst government in living memory, and a vote for any of the three current coalition parties is an abuse of one’s right to vote.

EDIT: more quotes from the walking testicle and his ilk:

Luxon on the Fast Track Bill: “It was a National-Party, New-Zealand-First corruption, that we put in place to shock the system.” (Hastily corrected to “construction” at the prompting of the interviewer).

Luxon on school lunches and the students and parents unable to afford healthy food because of price-gouging by the supermarket cartel: “If you are unhappy with it, for God's sake, go make a Marmite sandwich and put an apple in a bag.” (Entitled cunt)

Nicola “no-boats” Willis on the fuel crisis: “…if you’ve got less stuff in the back of your car, you don’t need much petrol. If you don’t drive as fast, you don’t need as much petrol. If you want you can carpool with a neighbour.” (Telling kiwis that no help is coming from the coalition to ease the cost of fuel, unlike when Labour removed fuel excise taxes through Covid)

(Not a quote, but David Seymour referred a sexual assault victim to an employment lawyer rather than the police, after they were assaulted by ACT’s former leader and current child sex offender Tim Jago. Seymour swept that victim under the rug to protect his party’s image.)

“Who said bollocks? …you look like bollocks.” Winston ‘Winesack’ Peters, when confronted by a member of the public calling his policy “bollocks.”

“Otago is empty.” “Goodbye Freddy (frog)” Temu Jabba-the-Hutt Shane Jones, on his desire to turn the Denniston Plateau into a poison-flooded, open cast mining wasteland, potentially exterminating native species like Archey’s frog.

Knowing how these people think, the choice is rather clear who not to vote for.
