NZ needs a new direction...

[C_T_Russell]

to some extent I agree with you on the flip flopping of left/right...

However - they are completely wrong

Democracy means always saying no to the mandates

Democracy means a few members of society are (typically) voted for to represent the interests of the majority... and if the majorities interests require mandates, so be it...

Tiny itty bitty newborn political parties with fluffy ideals and narrow agendas do not represent the majority, regardless of how much puff and bluster they verbalise

Well how many people would have voted if they knew about the mandates?
Same thing goes for 3 waters, it was never advertised as a policy, but is thrown on us by surprise.
Politicians often do things they dont inform voters about.
