Winston's never really been one to go for asset sales etc. Setting aside his current populism around the covid, trans rights etc he's usually been relatively centrist in an old fashioned Conservative type of way. Ie, not really that centrist if you're a marxist, but usually not a full on beneficiary basher like NAct.
I do really worry about his even more extreme populist bent this time around, and really worry for the marginalised communities that a lot of that shittiness gets directed at.
