Reply to comment by AFlawAmended in Jacinda Ardern auctions off ‘arrogant prick’ comment to raise money for prostate cancer charity by Laogama
This party has been in for 2 terms now so people are definitely getting tired of her/labour, but they still have a lot of fans too. Like any country there is division but our two main parties both sit very close to centre so there's not that much difference.
Also we have an MMP political system so there's usually a lot of political representation as if they get at least 5% of they vote theyvgll get a seat in parliament. If the big parties don't get enough votes to govern alone (usually) they have to form coalitions with other smaller parties which guarantees those smaller parties specific things they want/a spot in government and helps the bigger party get the numbers.
An example of this is that labour didn't have the numbers to govern alone so they formed a coalition with NZ First and the Greens, and agreed that Winston Peters, the leader of NZ First, would be deputy PM

Kiwi here, it was the idea of David Seymour to do this, but the general consensus of most Kiwi's is that it shows great sportsmanship from them both to be willing to put it all aside and come together like this to raise money. The current bid is at $45,500 with 6 days left on the bidding.

Jessica from the bastard and his son. There is almost no sense of character development, she is just evil. she makes decisions that don't make sense for who they've portrayed her as and every time she was on the screen all it did was made me want to turn the show off.
I'm glad they canceled it because if I had to put up with the planned 2nd season where she was the antagonist, just to get some more Gabriel and Nathan, I would have been so mad.
