Yep, you already nailed the answer. John Key was on record before the election hoping for this outcome. Act and NZ first will all be hard AF and eager to duplicate the US dismantling of any progress in the last 50 years and firing of civil servants and experts, and the spiteful rhetoric at the plebian class.
Trump is following the footsteps or Orban who followed the footsteps of Erdogan who followed the footsteps Netinyahu who followed the footsteps of Putin.
I have zero doubt Seymour if ever given the power would follow in the same footsteps and assume complete control over the country and stay in power forever.
