🚩This is insane ! MSM is now pleading for a Nats/Lab GRAND COALITION. They know the Right can win easily with an overhang the concept that was kicked off by Rawiri and Dennis. The Herald and the post have both released op-eds this morning scaring voters off the overhang and an open plea to Luxon & Hipkins to make a deal that of either side wins by an overhang they have another election - until the left get the result they want … with nutbag Henry Cooke pleading for a GRAND COALITION with Labour & National: 🔴Henry Cooked - The Post : (the most insane) {There are 4 more days before overseas voting starts on Wednesday, and a whole week before advance voting begins. This means there is still time for Christopher Luxon and Chris Hipkins to get in a room together and strike a far more important bipartisan deal than their half-hearted handshake on the debate stage on Wednesday. They could rule out ever governing thanks to an undemocratic overhang. Luxon and Hipkins could promise that if either of them ends up coming to power via an overhang, the first thing that they would do would be not to call an election, but to team up and pass a law that makes such a situation impossible to repeat. It wouldn’t even require a super-majority in the House or a referendum. You could even have a short-lived grand-coalition government whose sole goal was passing this law, then run the election again.} 🔴Thomas Coughlan: The Ferald: {There’s nothing against the rules about trying to trigger an overhang, but it does go against the spirit of MMP. The rort is similar to the gerrymandering you see in elections to the US where one party deliberately redraws the electoral map into ridiculous shapes to maximise the number of seats they win by ensuring each district includes a winnable majority of that party’s voters. Candidates and staff have privately told the Herald that questions about strategic voting is the most common on the doorstep. Rather hilariously, there is quite a bit of confusion about how to do it. Voters know they’re being asked to do something, but they haven’t got a clue how to actually do it. Labour has a lot to lose too. National’s broad geographic spread gives it an advantage when it comes to winning electorate seats (in the MMP elections it’s twice won as many or more electorates than Labour in elections that Labour has gone on to win). If the right got comfortable running overhang campaigns, the right could trigger even larger overhangs than the left could achieve with the Māori electorates. Worse still, if Te Pāti Māori is successful in its overhang campaign, that would likely fuel calls for the Māori electorates’ abolition (NZ First wants a referendum on getting rid of them). Whichever side wins this election, particularly if an overhang pushes it over the line, will be tempted to bank the win and not change anything. They should resist the temptation. Winning an election thanks to an overhang will only add incentive to your opponent to try the same tactic. It’ll be tempting for either side to blame the other for starting it. But National and Labour, the mum and dad of New Zealand politics, should, like all good parents, care less about who started a squabble and more about finishing it.} Centre right voters you must : Electorate vote National Party vote NZF or Act If the left get in make no mistake that extreme Govt will make Ardernistan a fond and distant memory.
