Sadly with six weeks to go it’s become very clear that thanks to the Labour Party this is going to become the most negative election campaign in New Zealand history.
Blaming Labour because a group (unions, so going to be left-aligned without any involvement from Labour) has run an advertising campaign attacking them.
Bishop would not commit to not attacking Labour
I’m on the National Party email list. They attack Labour every few days.
He said the CTU was “intimately” connected to the Labour Party.
“It’s in the name, it’s the Labour Party because they’re part of the Labour movement … Craig Renney was Grant Robertson’s advisor and he’s now at the CTU, so they know exactly what they’re doing.”
How about they try to counter the ads by proving them wrong? All they are doing is quoting National’s policies back at them.
Sadly in politics these days things like ‘facts’ and ‘the truth’ doesn’t seem to matter very much. There don’t seem to be any consequences for outright lying. Just knee jerk reactions and rage bait to get voters on their side.
I’m not really sure who is to blame. Maybe social media?
I’m so not looking forward to this election, it’s gonna be a shitshow, and not in a funny way.
Only 3 years to the next one. And maybe one of these decades someone will implement the changes recommended by the MMP review (just kidding).
Wow they certainly are special snowflakes aren’t they?
