Brilliant piece. And you’ve asked THE question. Will voters let National get away with selling them out and then reselling them again with a do-over? To what….do it all over again? I would say to voters, the old adage still applies, “Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me.”
Indeed. Time to judge them by their track record,not future promises. "Jam tomorrow" doesn't pay today's grocery bills or fuel pump.
While the Nats, Act, and NZFascist were focused on digging up Conservation lands, scrapping pay equity, promoting fossil fuel extraction, and policing peoples' genitalia, the rest of us were busy coping with day to day challenges.
This was a govt off the reigns on an ideological rampage.
I wonder how an opposing view would be framed in the same way you have written as a way of breaking down political tribalism? I ask this as I agree with your thesis but worry I just read self supporting views

Many of us won't forget.

Recent govt by both National and Labour have squandered opportunities to create a fairer society.
