Somehow I manage

[GW @RealGW_]

@EvilArthurFleck Hard to shake the feeling it's a vehicle for getting certain policies through whoever wins, dressed up as the sensible centre. Not going full tinfoil, but the lack of transparency is hard to ignore. Media coverage has been mostly glowing, Jack Tame's Q+A aside

[GW @RealGW_]

@EnzerEnzer @pennymarienz Yeah I honestly wouldn't it past Hipkins, Seymour, Luxon or TPM if push came to shove and, the alternative is to hold another election.

NZ First maybe not but they would mostly do so because it's politically expedient to make an issue out of it

[GW @RealGW_]

@EnzerEnzer @pennymarienz Hey, I'm not splitting hairs over an 11km run 😅

If it gets sorted, fair play. But there are at least amber flags on who really decides, and the media coverage has been fairly generous in the meantime.

[GW @RealGW_]

@EnzerEnzer @pennymarienz Asking who really makes the decisions behind a party's public-facing MPs isn't deranged. Pragmatism about structure is fine. So is demanding transparency and accountability from it.

[GW @RealGW_]

@EnzerEnzer @pennymarienz And critical thinking might be a little outside of your own wheelhouse.

Two unelected board members, including its biggest donor, can veto a government its MPs negotiate. For a party against big money, that's a fair question.

[GW @RealGW_]

@EnzerEnzer @pennymarienz No. Donating because you favour the ideas is normal in a democracy. Paying people to present ideas they don't necessarily believe, with hidden stakeholders holding a veto, is not. It makes the MPs contractors. Public accountability is optional so long as they get paid.

[GW @RealGW_]

@napoleonbusch2 Because it's a psyop, most likely and enough people have fallen for it, hook line and sinker.

Only the globalists "win" if TOP is in govt, left or right.

Our bottom line MUST be no TOP

[GW @RealGW_]

@EnzerEnzer @pennymarienz The 11km-run conspiracy is noise. Any functioning adult can do that run with little trouble.

Who paid Wong's salary, on what terms, and how far she and the rest of TOP (new MPs who only met this week) answer to her employers. That's what's shady. Nobody's scrutinising it.

[GW @RealGW_]

@PronouncedHare @TimaruKaBIMARU Tamatha Paul and TPM Hana were pretty close and chummy throughout the election.

I can't investigate on threads or Tik Tok but I feel like it was strongly implied to not party vote TPM in favour of Greens/Lab

[GW @RealGW_]

@PronouncedHare TOP "hung on" because rich-listers carried it: Morgan's $2m, Wilderland's $271k. Campaigns on a $30k cap — took $400k+ above it.

NZ First 2023, out of Parliament: "demonised" by the press. Opportunity: 17 minutes of favourable coverage, 96 seconds against. That's the push.

[GW @RealGW_]

@PronouncedHare Didn't Greens benefit from TPM overhang, evidenced by their 5 seats and less than 1% of the vote?

[GW @RealGW_]

@UngrimOneEye @kaiviti_cam Don't need all TOP voters, just wake up enough people for them to fall under the 5% threshold

Financial cost and international embarrassment for having a second election to one side, it's better than the globalist takeover TOP and Nats would oversee 😅😂

[GW @RealGW_]

@bobmccoskrienz (Psy)Opportunities Party!

It stinks and I'm not buying it

[GW @RealGW_]

@kaiviti_cam Luxon and the (Psy)Opportunities party have got to go!

[GW @RealGW_]

@Kittyka21153868 All part of the plan from the (Psy)Opportunities Party

[GW @RealGW_]

@IGottaNumBum @PronouncedHare Carry the 1

[GW @RealGW_]

@warwick512 It's Labour 36, National 42?

[GW @RealGW_]

@mauriceraiti We have a very naive and gullible population, and it's only getting worse 🤷‍♂️🤦‍♂️
