  • Labour: tone deaf and out of touch

    From JohnO@21:1/5 to All on Wed May 24 13:02:13 2023
    It is quite staggering that a government that has just put out a plus 11.5 billion spend-up budget, that continues to spend millions subsidising rich pricks into Teslas, suggests people can help their precarious financial state by taking five minute
    showers.

    Muppets.

    It'd be a lot easier if they stopped gouging the people with higher costs for energy! We just had an increase in electricity prices when the producers were already making huge profits for spend and hope Robinson!!!

    While I agree with your summation, tone-deaf is not one of them.
    Labour are polling well both as a party and the PM as their leader.
    National are polling well as a party but their leader polls well
    behind the PM.

    It is National who are tone-deaf in that they do not currently have
    what it takes to regain the general popularity they enjoyed while last
    in government.

    Yup.
    The sooner they replace Lux with someone competent as leader
    the better they will do.
