National is. We're just bad at voting

I don't disagree that we are bad at voting....but a lot of Nat voters didn't sign on to Act/NZF bullshit. Luxon is just so weak that he is letting the tail wag the dog.

As I have said in other threads, we need a cross bench party. Because what we have now is FPTP with extra steps.

Oh yes, they did. It was quite clear where Nat is heading in the last election and even the one before. The shift in tonality towards Trumpism(fe Collins) and the usual nonsense in favor of landlords, anti-science and business owners can't have their voters surprised now.

Maybe we are just bad at being decent, intelligent, rational people.
