MMP referendum 🥱 Obviously Peters would take this opportunty to dog whistle in his response (in the replies) by 1. Linking this policy to both major parties, when Labour has nothing to do with it. 2. Playing the immigrant card again. Howabout a referendum on party donations and lobbying instead?

Song for the day These days are back again.

People born in the 70s, at the beginning of the neolib age have grown up with state supports being chopped down ahead of them - uni fees, student loans, job protection, training by employer, deregulation, failing health care etc, etc. Are they going to stand by and watch their super go too?
