New Zealand Elections
Long time reader Adrian, via email;
The results of the NZ elections are in and …. the right side of politics won and the rest tanked, imploded, generally suffered.
The voting system is not a first past post type, you get a party vote and a vote for your local MP. Well the conservatives (National) won big but there are also the Conservatives – a new party because National are a bit middle of the road sometimes, and then there is ACT which is probably the one that everyone should vote for.
Anyway, the Greens (Marxists) flopped, the Labour party (socialists) are all but finished, Mana (Maori grievance party) flopped due to an unholy alliance with Kim.com and the fact they are marxists, etc etc…..
Seems this new land is just getting better and better.

Big tip ‘o the hat to Duke, who suggests Igaluit “demonstrate their true commitment by
shutting down the diesel generators for about six months or so.”
