How long till National does a soft copy of this?

Is this Nationals "KiwiBuild" moment?

The local Palmy-Rangitīkei Greens are holding 2 community meetings this Saturday where you can meet, greet and ask questions about Green Party policies to our local Palmy Greens list MP Teanau Tuiono or our Rangitīkei candidate Bernard Long.

One meeting is at 10:30am in Feilding, 33 Bowen St.

The other is at 2:30pm in Levin, 32 Bristol St.

This is why I could NEVER support TOP:

1. They haven't put any line in the sand detailing what policies are their non negotiables. And that's important, if I was supporting them on the policies they're forced to fold on then I just wasted my vote and supported another 3 years of a toxic coalition for nothing. Let's say I really love the UBI policy and that's the main reason I support them. Then coalition negotiations happen and Act/Winny and Nats all tell TOP they'll never back a UBI policy. But TOP form a coalition with them anyway because they were offered a few crumbs. That's a completely wasted vote.

2. This is the big one. If I voted TOP in the last election but was a left leaning voter then I would have been supporting removing woman's pay equity, ending the Ministry for the Environment, giving hundreds of millions to mining, oil & gas, tobacco companies, selling conservation estate, mining on conservation estate, punching down on minorities, punching down on Maori. Because a coalition agreement means they have to support all the other right wing policies on confidence and supply. Do you really want to swallow a dead rat just to get a few crumbs over the line?
