Sorry if I come off as mean and right wing here, it’s just the nature of the website that there’s no right wingers to argue against.

Does this have any effect or is it just like the votes for 16 thing where it’s technically illegal but nothing changes? Either way good news

Well they did already (and we should be grateful instead of complaining they didn’t go far enough, especially in this political environment), and it would hurt them because it’s probably an unpopular position. Thus it would make them less likely to win so less likely to repeal the ban,

It’s not like labour haven’t opposed the ban either - they have just done so in a more low key way.

But a labour led government is going to be in some sort of governance arrangement with the Greens anyway, who would make reverting the ban a bottom line, so I don’t see what’s to gain by increasing the salience of an unpopular issue when the end result is going to be the same.

Oh it absolutely shouldn’t be up for popular vote, the populace is inherently reactionary and evil. Youth should be able to access puberty blockers cross sex hormones. I’m just acknowledging the political realities of the situation. We all live in the same social media environment as those overseas

…and it assumes that a plurality of Americans and Britons support access which is definitely not true based on most other polls in those countries, where only 20-30%ish support it.

We see in this poll that support for hormone treatment in youth is lower then that 84% figure, though still is the majority opinion in New Zealand. I think this overestimates the support for this however, considering the situation has gotten so much worse since 2023…

But that’s not the question. One can believe that you shouldn’t discriminate against trans people on the basis of them being trans - while also believing they shouldn’t have access to paediatric gender medicine. In fact that’s likely the plurality opinion unfortunately.

Is it an easy win? Based on polling in other countries it’s probably quite an unpopular position. Why raise the salience when a labour led government with pressure from the greens would repeal these changes anyway, regardless on what labour campaigns on.

amen, I love censorship as much as the next person, but if you want your censorship to be effective you have to let the site grow first by having a more open moderation policy so that enough people use it to shape public opinion!

The median voter hates TPM and is less inclined to vote labour if they are seen as associated. This is the right decision, he can just lie and work with them later anyway

That would be a correct statement, fracking is unpopular in Britain. It divided the Tory party which is why Labour brought it up to bring down Liz Truss!
Labour have moderated on the vast majority of issues, but that will never be enough for you ghouls.

TPM and the Greens are unpopular to moderate voters who decide elections and in attacking them Chris Hipkins appears more appealing to these crucial swing voters. They’ll make up when the election is over.
If only Luxon did the same to Act and NZ First he would not be so unpopular right now.

Not the uwu smol bean Republican voters who only wanted to make the minority groups they dislike suffer. They’re super innocent. We should blame the evil Dems for not adopting socialism which would magically make the voters not bigoted.

What’s the evidence for a relationship between them aside from being roommates (of which there was a third no one mentions)? I can only find a neighbour saying he saw them kissing but that doesn’t seem particularly reputable

They’re getting hounded on both sides, and at some point when they realise most trans activists will never take their olive branch, they will have no incentive to appeal to us anymore, and they will totally capitulate.
