@phil_stevens@mastodon.nz @themaorigreenlantern@mastodon.nz There was a typically Malcolm Tucker-esque monologue to the leader of the opposition about needing to have the blood-thirsty desire to hack 'n slash your way into the ruling party rather than be tepid/milquetoast about being in opposition. Labour gave up wanting to rock the boat and think they'll win enough to form a coalition on the basis of being Not-National. This puts everyone thats even remotely progressive in jeopardy. I guess Chippy is honest enough about his intentions. Hopefully there is enough progressive talent left-of-centre to give the existing coalition the boot and force decent concessions from Labour without a new government collapsing in a smoking heap.
