    Even in his electorate, he didn’t win with anywhere near the majority he has had previously. His stretch as PM has really hurt his popularity.

      I think labour is reaping the consequences of protecting the country during covid. They did an amazing job and now its over the country forgot how much their choices did.

        Pretty sure it’s all the other dropped balls they tried or barely tried to juggle.

          Haven’t followed Hipkins too much, but I have believed Jacinda is a great person and empathic leader, but an average politician. Exactly what we needed in covid.

        I think it’s more to do with the long list of failed policies outside of Covid measures, and the racist policies being proposed by Greens and TPM.

              So do I - make no mistake Maori were repressed and disadvantaged, but you can’t throw a policy out and expect it all to change.

            I’ve tried to find this policy online but I haven’t been able to. Would you be able to provide a link?

              Sorry, had a look through and was incorrect (hence the question mark).

              • allocate 50% of police, court and corrections funding to Maori authorities.

              • allocate 50% of new state houses to Maori.
