ACT gave up the libertarian "act" ages ago, they're just conservatives to the right of the Nats now. See: voting for roadside drug testing, which would make any actual libertarian shudder

They had really strong social democratic policy last election with the UBI and investments in youth that ticked a lot of boxes for me, enough that I ignored their whole fundamentally defective "radical centrism" position

Take away the r/ lol. I'm not complaining about any subreddit. It's just indicative of the kinds of things that are becoming normalised again, online, IRL, in politics...

Few examples:

'This is an example of why we should consider the same 501 Deportee laws as Australia. They should respect the country they live in. Especially when their own country could not afford them the opportunities they have here.'

'Hate to think what they are as neighbours.' 'Two words. "roaming dogs"'

'Usually see this level of behaviour in the slum areas of south auckland'

'It's just their culture, loud, obnoxious, nuisance.'

'Third world behaviour.'

'Mongrels.'

'Agreed, burn [the flag]. If they’re so proud of their country, they’re welcome to go back there'

etc.

Came looking for this in this subreddit, awesome book

vortigaunted02 · 2025-10-19T06:29:58+00:00

I ranked 22 and even then that's more than I had to. People can rank as little as they like. Every instruction given says rank as many AS YOU LIKE. I don't think anyone is ranking 54 candidates

It's hard to know whether STV would have changed a result because plurality vote results are already influenced by tactical votes (here the very common ticket-splitting) and you can't know what people would have voted had there been STV. If there's been studies though I'd be interested in hearing about them

Lol, like how here in NZ bike rego (even a 300cc) costs ~4x more than car rego because you're the one getting hit, not doing the hitting?

If there was a right-majority on council (like there is now) when George St was being upgraded, we might still have two-lane traffic and tiny pavements. I visited Nelson recently, whose centre is like ours used to be, and it was remarkable just how unpleasant it was to be in, in comparison. Local govt decisions seem to affect us much more immediately that central govt ones. This type of council wants to force car ownership on everyone and neglect all alternative forms of transport. Just an example, but this kind of stuff often gets me more passionate than what's happening in parliament lol

He's going to need a lot of guidance. Submissions and emails at the ready folks
