Labour was created by socialists and the trade unions, but only the latter have really stuck with them. Socialists probably have to vote Greens as the structure of MMP means they are currently the only viable tool for moving the government left, but that of course doesn't mean they do (this is doing double duty for both socialists voting for them, and the Greens moving the government left). There are a number of socialist parties, many of which fail to register, but none of them have been able to gain an electorate or poll high enough to get exposure in the last 50 years so they mostly concentrate on activism over electioneering.

Pretty much. Winston is himself Māori, and is mocking the idea by calling him Pāora Heke Goldsmith, Pāora being a straight transliteration of Paul and Heke being a fairly notable Māori surname.

Gentle Autist posted:

They state that UBI - �Kiwi Dividend� will be topped up to current benefit levels, so there will be no cut in beneficiary incomes - am I misunderstanding? Also the whole plan is revenue neutral so doesn�t require services cuts

It can be interpreted to incur a cut in beneficiary incomes because it replaces "all benefits of a lesser value", which I believe is intended to convey that everyone will be brought up to that basic level while also reducing the complexity of the welfare system, but kind of elides the fact that due to the complexity of the welfare system people's welfare can be composed of multiple benefits and that in losing these smaller individual benefits they could end up with a net cut to the amount they receive and therefore end up worse off.

That's only because you're not thinking it more like a formal debate that occurs in a vacuum. It doesn't matter how big a pile of bullshit she serves if nobody can call her out on it during the actual event.

Agreeing to the referendum was a dumb move because if it fails it fails but if it succeeds it's nonbinding and NZF would've blocked the legislation anyway.

All the evidence says they're cunts, but their spokesperson says they're champions of good faith relations in the workplace, a thing that cannot exist under capitalism.

I think you're both right. An 'American' read of the National party regarding their promises and the governments they've run probably would conclude that they are to the left of the Republican party, but I also don't think that's necessarily an accurate reflection of most of the party members - I think if they could, they'd absolutely be pulling and passing the same kind of poo poo Republicans do but recognise that New Zealand does not have the political apparatus to allow them to do so as a minority in perpetuity. They certainly try to emulate Republicans as much as they can without losing credibility to middle UN ZED - it's why they hired their guys to curse us with John 'The Tugger' Key through the power of personality politics.

i haven't paid it much attention but as of like a decade ago ngos were hammering on the government for its lack of legislation and statistics on forced sterilisation of disabled women, and like five years ago ihc complained to the ombudsmen about a continued lack of effort in achieving that.

but yeah, national doesn't even want the border stopping people long enough to find out if they have a contagious disease that threatens to kill thousands of people, they're not gonna pay someone to stop them long enough to whip out their guts. they might hide it in a seasonal worker visa.

you're comparing crabapples and coconuts.

1.44m is auckland's urban population - that is, the sum total of all the people who live in auckland city and its associated suburbs.

that wikipedia¹ list is of the populations of a single incorporated place. san diego city has a population of 1.4m, but san diego's urban population is 2.9m. dallas city has a population of 1.3m, but dallas' urban population is 5.1m.

¹ wikipedia is not a source
