I am 34 y.o. Belarusian living in exile in Poland.
FIRST time in my life I will see a peaceful transition of power. To opposition. After democratic elections. With 73% turnout.
My message to you - value and protect your democracy. You can't even imagine what a miracle you have.

Says it all really. 😣 This country is divided into the “real estate investor” class vs the rest of us.

I'm absolutely gutted about the election result. Not for me but for the thousands of people whose lives are going to be far worse.

Let's hope this is a wake up call to the left and they start to think big, aspirational, transformational. For the sake of the kids, we desperately need them to.

Barely slept thinking about all the tamariki that will be pushed into poverty because of this change in government. Thinking about our taiao and people who will be pushed further into the margins- Māori, Pasifika, disabled and trans people. Thinking about the selfish cunts who voted National/Act

Oh and to those who said Greens and TPM were too woke to get reelected, both ran on radical changes to society and social justice and increased their vote - while Labour shit themselves to please the right and got fucking ragdolled by the voters.

Even the ram raids stuff, which could have been an opportunity to show an overwhelming effort in the face of a topical issue, was met with a kind of bland centrism that was largely worried about the sheer cost of doing things instead of the cost of not doing anything. =(

Have fun living w the white supremacy and oppression you guys just endorsed. Now maybe you’ll understand this is YOUR fight as much as ours and stepping up means always not just one day.

Feeling for the NZ public servants out there. Facing yet another shit show of the ignorant, venal and stupid smashing the house up while screaming that you’re useless. Then when the bloodlust wears off, they run from room to room perplexed that nothing is working and demanding you fix it.

I do absolutely. But, and there's a huge but, My heart is breaking.

So many fellow NZers voted for less for the masses. Change for change sake. They didn't critical think about the lies. They didn't mind the hate against the most vulnerable.

A negative campaign based fear won.
I am taking heart from the Greens and TPM results

where is the analysis on TVNZ of where the counted vote is actually coming from. Honestly just breathless hyped up stuff.

These votes started getting counted this morning so naturally they will dominate the early votes, left block late swing will not be showing up yet. Lots of enrollment on election day will show up in specials.

The only thing that's even close to factual here is desensitization

Which only means the first time you watch Avengers is better than the 10th time.
This is the bullcrap that you get when you attempt as a legal adult to access legal sexually explicit adult expressive content in Texas.

And yet, assault rifles are perfectly legal to sell online.

If, like me, you are horrified by Hamas’ attack on civilians, you should be at least as disturbed by Israeli’s decades long military occupation of the West Bank and Gaza.

Thousands of innocent Palestinians die every year at the hands Israeli violence. Millions are denied basic rights.

“I have given an order – Gaza will be under complete siege,” the minister said. “We are fighting barbarians and will respond accordingly.”

but sure, palestinians fighting to be free from an illegal occupying force are the bad guys

My question is why should she? Just because national needed Key to speak for them doesn't mean labour needs Jacinda. And it's only since Key spoke up that they have been asking where she is

All National is offering Chch is more f’ing roads! The last Nat govt built a new road that poured 1000s of cars into St Albans & left the council to clean up the mess for residents - our quiet street now has 2.7x the traffic it had before. Piss off with your roads. www.newsroom.co.nz/luxons-lazy-...
Luxon’s lazy southern pitch
National’s leader can’t state one specific policy for Christchurch or Canterbury, other than a bridge and a road
