  • A sort of documentary of the history of Winston Peters in New Zealand parliament. He was the founder of the New Zealand First party, former national MP, and the former holder of various political offices, including deputy prime minister, Foreign minister, and tresure. Winston is one of the most famous and impactful politicians in the last 40 years of New Zealand politics, most notably playing the role of the 'King Maker' to 3 different prime ministers.

      We will see. I think the only way he gets back is if labour puts a referendum forward at the next election to change the name of the country. If they do that I think NZF can muster up 5%, other than that I think they are irrelevant and dead in the water.
      Winston is too old and right wing populists that supported him are mad that he went with labour in 2017.

    • @TuiPolitics
      @TuiPolitics  3 роки тому +4

      I do like Jim Anderton and many other lefties, as I do politically agree with people who are to the left of the current labour mainstream.
      My problem is that the greens/new labour/alliance never really use their political leverage well to push their agenda (like someone like winston would do). They seem to sign off on labour policy, and never attack them from the left like Canada's NDP does.
      Ultimately I still support these further left parties, but they leave much to be desired

    Populist parties should honestly avoid going into coalition with the establishment parties unless they can get some significant policy concession. You are honestly better off forcing another election.
