"They've burnt the house down" new govt

[C_T_Russell]

It's funny how those who profess to care about people were so keen to see a continuation of what we had. If you do the same, you get the same. So the majority of people voted to do something different. And maybe it will help. Some of the problems do go back decades, but most have got worse in the last 3/6 years under Labour. The new government has hit the ground running with a balance of new and experienced leadership. Hopefully the new will have new ideas, and the experienced will use that experience to guide in the right direction. Only time will tell. At least there is now reason to hope.

Completely agree.
We are seeing the left push back hard on this already, but this is to be expected.
The good news is that all 3 parties in power largely are in agreement with the majority of policies.
Is going to be a great 3 years.
What's good about MMP is we can have parties work together on issues and discuss different options/viewpoints rather than just be given one.
