What the fuck. Greens ARE "playing" the MMP game. What is this

dimsie.bsky.social•490 days ago

"Why don't they undermine everything their party stands for because MMP is a game to me, a journalist"

jessterraformearth.bsky.social•490 days ago

I mean, National lies about everything- why should Greens leaders or members play any game with them? #nzpol

louiethered.bsky.social•490 days ago

Tame knows why it would be unworkable, the Green Party has explained it so many times to reporters, who think the Greens should sell out for their National Party masters.

"It’s not just that the Greens aren’t open to compromise. Publicly, they’re not even open to negotiations over a compromise."

of course it is. that's why you aren't saying "why won't national make climate concessions to negotiate with the greens?"

Couldn’t resist!

sigh...the electorate got to choose and it is happy for Aotearoa to slowly roast its children in sacrifice to the climate gods of profit. It's not the Greens' job to be the tinfoil or greenwash a bad Govt.

louiethered.bsky.social•490 days ago

I bet Luxon, Willis, Bishop and the rest of the National party laughed their heads off at the stupid, gullible Kiwis that willfully gave them a mandate, even after National's scam was exposed, to shit all over them for the next 3 years.

They won't be able to pass any bills into law without a few more votes so need to suck up to a Winston who dislikes selling assets overseas intensely
Or so he says
😂😂

Sounds like Canada is heading that way too in their next election. People (swing voters especially) really can be short sighted, fucking morons.

louiethered.bsky.social•490 days ago

....with incredibly short memories. Re "Canada is heading that way too" guaranteed, it will.

stephgunther.bsky.social•490 days ago

The current leader of the Conservative Party is basically a mix of Lux/Seymour and Winnie in one man. 😬

louiethered.bsky.social•490 days ago

Holy heck!!

yeah because the planet is somehow detached from the life on it, including humans🙄this tired old argument is being thrown around again by lazy, self-importantjournos

roryreckons.bsky.social•490 days ago

Why won't the party who has an underlying philosophy (which has existed since it's inception) that is completely incompatible with right wing politics sell out their values and reasons to capitulate and give National the appearance of doing something without any gain?

verbman.bsky.social•490 days ago

Nat + Gre to promote MMP “ideals”without mentioning Chris + Chris who have more in common than any two other parties is peak nauseam.

nzkatya.bsky.social•490 days ago

It's just a game to these journalists. Tame not understanding that this would destroy the Green Party is an indication of his shallow thinking.

vebate.bsky.social•481 days ago

No minor party can maintain their purity. What they're doing is called having standards. Did Luxon even ring them?
