/ 16th June 2017They are ignoring a bit that is inconvenient to their agenda and narrative, including the shooting of the US Congressman. Surely Red Radio has something on it? Or are they playing ostrich as well?

“National-NZ First government would give them plenty of margin to govern strongly for the betterment of the nation.
Labour though is in a dreadful state. People don’t back losers and right now they look like real bad losers. Expect their vote to slump further.”

3: How else do you win elections? Broadchurch vs Pure Temple
I get this terrible feeling that many left wing activists are going to go into shock when they realise Labour + Greens won’t = 51%.
I spent the last 3 election cycles trying to start up smaller political party’s to the left of the Greens in an attempt to create a political partner that could provide Labour and the Greens with 51 by using the MMP coat-tailing feature. That didn’t work.
The simple reality is that with less than 4 months to go until the election, the only way a change of Government happens is with NZ First. This means a Broadchurch strategy has to trump Pure Temple tribalism. If we want to change the Government it will require policy and values broad enough to bind rather than divide.
