I'm wondering if the Anglospheres most successful Labour party
Tbh NZ politics has become very personality based in recent years - NZ Lab's success basically amounts to Key retiring and being replaced with a wet sock, and Labour installing Jacinda over its previous revolving door of union bureaucrats.
If Bill English is a wet sock, then what are his successors?
But yeah, I think that’s a very accurate description. Once Labour dumped Little, they shot up and that helped them get enough to cobble together a majority coalition with NZF and the Greens. 2020 was heavily influenced by how little NZ was affected by Covid thanks to strong leadership early on. 2023 should be interesting. I don’t see WINston pulling NZF out of the grave again. ACT’s continued high numbers are definitely interesting though. I mean, I know they usually do well when National is in the dumps, but this well?
