The Betrayal of NZ by Ardern, Hipkins and Labour

[davflaws]

why use the word "populist' as a pejorative Moka?

Because, as the post suggested, "populist" very accurately describes the position and political attitudes of many posters on this forum. It discounts, "otherises", and marginalises the interests and concerns of a very large proportion of the population. It seldom ends well.

Doesn't that description fit Ardern's methods? Snuck He Puapua into policy and as a result with, Mahuta as the bulldozer, nek minute....5 Waters and co-governance. Notice how Mahuta disappeared from public view once Ardern abandoned ship?

Ardern completely betrayed this country to her Marxist tendencies, and once the public woke up to her control freak extremism, the knives came out from within the senior Cabinet to save their skins. So what does Cindy do? Bullsh*ts her way off to Harvard for her meal ticket for life as reward from the WEF club. Expect Trudeau to follow her before long.

Populists appeal to emotions rather than reason. Populists use name calling, belittling and demeaning as divisive tactics.

It's not my fault all the descriptors you have highlighted are true of Ardern and Mahuta. She did sneak He Puapua into policy. She even hid it from her coalition partner. She did use Mahuta to bulldoze 5 Waters and co-governance, while marginalising the rights and concerns of the majority of the population. That is just one instance of her betrayal.

Slighting parliament protestors by saying "it feels imported" is another. Failing to upbraid Michael Wood for his "river of filth" comment is another.

So his political demise and Ardern and her government's comeuppance is sweet reward.

And the fact she was so quickly given an honorific by her own government that she had just abandoned was one hell of a slap in the face to the country she had divided, manipulated and taken to the edge of financial ruin.

Good Riddance! Now that's popular given the election result!

What did the last lot of Labour populists deliver ?

Where is the head populist now & what is she up to ?

Why is there very little to show for it, aside from the very deep holes Robbo dug ?

Why did Labour's populist regime start failing & crumbling as soon as Ardern ran away ?

Why did Kiwi's at large realise earlier this month that they had been sold a farce in such great numbers
that it resulted in a Labour Bloodbath washing the clueless from power ?

I'm a populist and quite comfortably one. Thanks for your explanation.
