Amazing how that always happens with Communist states. Maybe we should take it as a sign that the ideology is complete nonsense at best, unbelievably destructive to human life on average, and outright suicidal at worst?

It is incredibly realistic of NS to make it impossible to have a good economy as a Communist nation as it is based on simple facts.

Let me inform you of something. National's deputy leader, Nikki Kaye, has been elected on the merit that National is a "broad church" and a "party for all New Zealanders".

She voted in favour of abortion reforms allowing the child to be aborted almost up until birth - so did Labour.
She voted in favour of assisted suicide - so did Labour.
She voted in favour of same-sex marriage - so did Labour.
She voted in favour of marijuana legalisation - so did Labour.
She voted in favour of the nation's largest ever gun reforms - so did Labour.
She has indicated that she would vote in favour of anti-hate speech laws, as will Labour.

If you want to consider yourselves opposition, why the hell are you putting candidates in the senior management team who hold exactly the same views as the government? That's my question to National and the reason I want them to lose.
