Election is done and I'm exhausted with politics. Just waiting for the final result.

I still feel the cultural cringe.

I said, if you remove Laws you will lose all credibility!

Are you listening?

Let’s see how much spine you really have.

@nickgillespie @CatoInstitute @David_J_Bier Are you sure? This is what their main issues are and how they voted. Economy is the top issue ABs they voted Democrat. Then democracy.

ReasonTV helped keep me sane during COVID. It’s depressing watching you do this.

The means of cultural production was seized.

I just realised that’s a pun.

This is increadible.

At the last election the statement of the year was NZ doesn't elect GVTs. Auckland does.

The country is right wing. The cities are red.

@Dame__Jane Thankfully I've already had breakfast.

Yes I looked it up. Yes it's real.

We were at #4 in 2024 (so reported in 2025). #3 in 2023.

It's a big ship I guess. It takes a long time to turn around.

[Benjamin the Donkey @punronounceable]

3 years of a RW government and we’ve stabilised at #3.

Bribery is still a major issue here, I would not have treated it that high. Oh well.

Where was the performative outrage when Wayne Broadhurst was slaughtered in the street by an Afghan, @Keir_Starmer and @KemiBadenoch?

Where was the public address from Downing Street? Or the crime scene visit?

Why did his death generate less fuss than two people who survived?

@iamrobothead Harden up. Sincerely, NZ.

Scientists say 70% of the Earth is covered by water…
Yet not a single drop of it is carbonated.

That’s all the proof I need that the Earth is flat.
