Well done Frank! While I still feel that arming redneck Ute drivers is a side hustle to Act’s economic mission (shifting money from the masses to the 1%), it is really dangerous. Her commentary has always sounded ‘imported’ and I’m pleased that you took the time to dig in to it.

No party would have me, Levi. I'd be advocating nationalisation of most rental properties for starters. Also State acquisition of empty sections of land in urban areas left vacant for longer than a year (without damned good reason).

A new Ministry of Works (public ownership entrenched). First $25,000 tax free. A UBI of course. Capital Gains and Wealth taxes. 100% free-to-user education, including Tertiary. Free-to-user dental care. Public funding of political parties (no more dodgy covert funding). Revoke citizenship for Peter Thiel and other oligarchs. All fossil fuel extraction to cease immediatley.. Oh, and the Ambassadors to Israel and Russia can f**k right off. (And USA if they invade another country.)

I'm guess I'd be too left-wing, for most of my fellow NZers...? *sighs*
