        For who ? Labour that refused to bring in land reform or national who wish to have the highest house prices in the world oced ?

        I wonder which one I should bite for ?

        Politicians are corrupt civil servants. Remove them and get in people who actually want to improve the average kiwis life.

          The Greens, who have a comprehensive tax policy with relief targeted at the lower end and rebalancing the tax take to come from capital gains and wealth instead of being heavily weighted to taxing work and consumption.

          Greens for free dental. And all that ‘improve the lower classes wellbeing’ stuff.

          I’m sure there’s a good joke to be made about voting for Greens for dental and coming back to bite you because you have teeth when you’re 80 or something.

            What are greens offering? Dental for over 60s ? Under 10s. Greens are a good shout but prefer unfortunately to vote labour just so I don’t get national

              Voting greens if is effectively still a vote for labour, as theyre unlikely to get 60 seats on their own. Its just a vote that lets them pput more pressure on labour when forming a coalition.

                Some would argue that voting Green is better than voting Labour as it forces Labour / gives Labour cover to do left-wing things while campaigning as centre-right.

          There are more than two parties in New Zealand. And Politicians are not civil servants; at least not in the way that term is traditionally used.

            Obviously but that doesn’t mean it’s a two party fight. More than two parties in most countries. And funnily Enough it’s usually one of three.

            Any other useful advice or ?

      Don’t forget to heckle them and send some hate mail to your local council. I’m doing my part, I hope you’re doing yours ;-)
