Jacinda Ardern is leading by example in how a leader should behave not negative and nasty and they are not mucking around and achieving much in this short time so far. For example exposing the typical national lie that it couldn't be done re the ban on foreign buyers lol.
You can't be proud of your Deputy Prime Minister screwing your party seeing he was never going the Nats way after starting to sue them.
Spose if you want power you become friends with anybody.
Secondly, nobody with even half a brain believes that an opposition party has to oppose everything a government does.
Ok heres a small exercises for you. In its 9 years of opposition list the Bills Labour supported National on (my money is you coming up with less than 5)
The flip side of your argument is government should be prepared to support an oppositions good idea. Like for example dropping income tax rates which all parties (National, NZ First, Maori and Act) supported last term except Labour.
While the idea of Cindy (she needs to earn the respect and failing on day one is not a good start) and all MP's sitting around a warm campfire, holding hands singing kumbaya and agreeing on legislation may have some appeal it isn't going to happen under our Westminster style of parliament. Its like our justice system. Its a bear pit and winner takes all.
First of all her name is Jacinda and she is the Prime Minister so show some respect and call her by her proper name. Whether you like her or not is irrelevant.

I see Cindy's team introduced a bill under urgency last night at about 6pm. Funny thing is National (Amy Adams) said that they were going to support this bill. Who would have thought.

Surely the correct abbreviation, or nick-name for Taxcinda should be Taxi rather than Cinda.

It was the Paid Parental Leave Bill. Probably part of Nationals cunning plan so see Cindy out of Parliament for 6 months so that Kelvin can take charge for a while
And some Labour dude called Duncan Webb has been given the naughty boys seat .....all out on his lonesome at the back of the house on the opposition side.

Seems we have quite the mature opposition. Prepared to support Labour with any TTP agreement. Shame labours coalition partner NZ first wont be quite so mature and I suspect the Greens wont be either
