For NZ First I honestly feel like there are more young NZ First voters than there have been my whole life.

It just sucks that people are so disenchanted by life that they vote for the guy saying how bad things are instead of trying to learn about the individual problems and voting for people trying to solve those problems.

Yeah it sucks, traditionally you'd think Winston would curb the worst of the Right's economic impulses at the expense of socially liberal policy, but it sorta seems now that he's traded all these culture war "wins" his base want for almost nothing apart from his MFAT toy.
