If anyone was in doubt at the political malaise which grips Aotearoa New Zealand this will be dispelled at the prospect of a Luxon Vs Ardern election next year. It’s tedious and silly this far out but it underlines just how hopeless are the current electoral options. The practical policy differences between Labour and National are fine shades of beige. Labour and National are dominated by a neo-liberal consensus which has ironed out any significant differences in their policies. Under this Labour government the rich have got immeasurably richer – a trillion dollars richer – at the expense of the rest of us.
