Let's look on the bright side. The people voted this way (quite significantly) so they must be seeing something positive there. I already know all the downsides so let's discuss the upsides.

I believe Labour has become incredibly racist. Prioritising people for healthcare on the basis of race is literally and explicitly against the Geneva Convention. The plan to grant an unelected ethnic group disproportionate control over NZ’s drinking water was so cartoonishly evil it’s hard for me to fathom. One of the most patently anti-democratic and racist things I’ve ever seen in politics in NZ.

I look forward to dismantling all race based policies, and focusing on need instead. Poor people need our help.

Looking forward to seeing actual consequences for committing crime, less wasteful government spending which should hopefully reduce inflation, and better education standards to set our kids up for University.

Edit: Ohh, this was the sarcastic look on the bright side question and not actually wanting to know what others are thinking. I guess I won't answer these types of questions anymore.
