    You are really asking to have a stroke or heart attack Balance. Fortunately I won't be here to see it, because the temptation to say "I told you so" would be bloody hard to resist.

    The past is gone. The future hasn't arrived yet. All any of us have is the present. That's where you need to be living.
    The past is indeed gone and if NZers forget about the past 6 years, they could make the mistake again of voting in a clueless spin mistress, big on promises but completely useless on delivering on anything save disasters and failures.

    Take a breath. Read what you just wrote. Read it out loud. Then stand in front of the mirror and read it again. Your total lack of insight into your own behaviour is unbelievable.

    If you seriously ever care to read and understand what has been written about Ardern & the Labour government in the last 3 years, you will know that everything written about how incompetent, clueless and useless they were - ARE ALL TRUE.

    Hence, the resounding rejection of them in the election on 14 October.

    I take pride in highlighting those truths here on ST (and in other mediums as well) and along with countless others, we know we changed a few minds out there to vote out Labour.

    Meanwhile, all the Labour shills had/have been doing here is making excuses and blaming previous government for the disasters created by Ardern, Hipkins and Labour.

    The only disappointment we have is that Ardern did a runner before she got the kick on the backside from NZers to show that she has been a waste of space.

    Don't expect you to understand though as you voted for her. But then, who can understand why you voted for the hypocrite and self-serving red *itch in the first place!

    Savvy?

    You and several others on these threads certainly meet this definition of populists.

    Populists claim a kind of monopoly of representing the people with the consequence that all other contenders for power are deemed fundamentally illegitimate, corrupt, and, to coin a phrase, crooked.

    https://kpu.pressbooks.pub/political-ideologies/chapter/9-3-history-of-populism-populisms-relationship-to-democracy/

    Populism also has significant negative effects on democracy as well. It often results in an intense moralization of politics, whereby reaching agreements between disparate groups becomes very difficult. In lieu of agreement and compromise, majority rule is used to suppress minority opinion and circumvent minority rights. The will of the people – often demonstrable by the will of a majority in a plebiscite or election – becomes authoritative and infallible. Populism is democratic because it abides the wishes of ‘the people’ yet authoritarian because not all citizens count as ‘the people’ (and those who do not have no political legitimacy whatsoever).

    In effect, populism advocates for an authoritarian form of democracy, and it fundamentally rejects liberal and representative democracy.
