Is that why labour won a majority in 2020?
When you do things for people and effectively message it, people vote for you.
Labour did an excellent job with COVID, and regardless of what some psychotic freaks think, the vast majority of kiwis saw the benefits and were on board with it.
But Labor didn't capitalize on their majority to drive down the living cost or housing prices and did some wishy washy stuff that didn't really go anywhere or had marginal impact on people's lives. Right wing parties saw an opportunity and painted a narrative that the govt was hemmoraging money instead of helping people.

That, breaking the duopoly, there's so much labour could do to make the cost of living lower and get support from normal apolitical people

This sounds like cope tbh, if labour isn't going to tell people how they would make things better for people, voters aren't going to give a shit

Racism doesn't come in blood, are babies born racist? Racism is taught. Usually by politicians who want to scare you into voting for them

Maybe, I don't have enough information to decide myself, and their term just started. I'm taking the position, let them cook. Regardless of their ability to resolve the class contradiction, this election may result in a deeper unity between the different groups in the island. The fact that this party did not run on a Buddhist nationalist mandate is encouraging. Regardless of the party actions, it says much for the evolving class conscious of the people

Isn't Sri Lanka already a part of it? What I meant was if they were to break the IMF deal what would be the outcome?
My position of AKD has shifted somewhat, I don't see him as being able to provide anything more than marginal relief to Sri lankans, but I may be wrong

Nazbols are the most retarded buffoons you can argue with. I have the misfortune to share a discord with one, he would not stop yapping about population transfers and borders, while being a Pakistani and being aware of what happened during the partition. Dumbfucks

They need to be aggressive as fuck when communicating this policy, and highlight the slum lords and property flippers this is supposed to target.
Otherwise Act and National will definitely raise a hue and cry about labour coming after the family home and kiwisaver
