Some major shifts here, greens pick up a lot of Labour's loss, but still a shift to the right.

I wouldn't mind voting for Act again if somehow they could be prevented from joining with National. Deregulation of housing is exactly what we need.

Oh well. I guess there's no point in voting any more. I'd rather put my faith else-where. Even if Labour or the Greens got in, they'd probably screw-up their own policy and we'd be no better off. 6 years of Jacinda is already leaving a bad taste in my mouth.

It's all depressing news. The political class don't care, and people will become desperate or selfish, depending on their situation. I hope things get worse to the point that we see more protests outside Parliament. Kiwis are so apathetic. They'll stroke their dicks to pornhub, drink craft beer and eat Whittaker's chocolate, they'll talk about Star Wars, Netflix or the All Blacks, and they'll vote in elections as if it mattered. But they'll never rebel.

You're right, it's a pretty bleak political landscape, and the constant bickering and infighting among our politicians doesn't help at all.

Absolute fucking clown show out there.

We give them too much attention.
