Lost @lostofaotearoa.bsky.social · 11/10/2026Not who really needed it for sure. They’re very good at delivering what big business wants, but not so much their electorate 120

The "exodus" of wealthy people never happened (less than 100 individuals left). Tax revenue increased by 71.5%. No changes in business activity or investment. www.nber.org/papers/w35854 143144036198

Lost @lostofaotearoa.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Most dyed in the wool Nats voters will still vote Nat, despite thinking that Luxon is as much use as a chocolate fire guard, because Nicola Willis is such a crash hot finance minister. Hold on. I’m being told that’s not true - so why do they still have 1/4 of the electorate in support? Unfathomable 130
Lost @lostofaotearoa.bsky.social · 06/10/2026Do I want to pay more tax? No. Do I want people richer than me to pay more tax? Definitely. It’s an easy sell surely? 031
Lost @lostofaotearoa.bsky.social · 06/10/2026A vote for Opportunity has an, at least, 50% chance of being a vote for NZ Fitst and ACT. Is it worth the risk? All their good policies are weak versions of Green policies anyway. 💚 151

Lost @lostofaotearoa.bsky.social · 06/10/2026A Labour/National coalition seems to make the most sense right now but if the trend continues they’ll need a third party to form a government 😜 020
Lost @lostofaotearoa.bsky.social · 06/10/2026Pure f*cking vandalism by a bunch of evil c*nts, if you’ll excuse my Anglo Saxon 010
Lost @lostofaotearoa.bsky.social · 06/10/2026Same roads they promised in 2023 and didn’t build. Dumb policy but probably just empty promises. The fact that a bunch of people will fall for it again just shows that common sense is actually rare. 000
Lost @lostofaotearoa.bsky.social · 05/10/2026I blame Judith Collins. The people in her old electorate ’thought’ the Mill Road upgrade would solve their traffic woes. It wouldn’t, of course, partly because induced demand would just fill it up and also because of the bottlenecks downstream. But JC campaigned hard on it in 2023. 050
Lost @lostofaotearoa.bsky.social · 05/10/20262023 election: we’ll do Mill Road 2026 election: we’ll do Mill Road 2029 election: we’ll do Mill Road? It’s all just empty promises anyway 010
Lost @lostofaotearoa.bsky.social · 04/10/2026As a neighbour of the Mill Road corridor can I just say that we’ll suffer from 3 years of disruption and traffic chaos only to be reminded that induced demand is a thing and traffic will be no better when it’s done. What is reducing traffic is better rail (CRL). 0111
Lost @lostofaotearoa.bsky.social · 08/09/2026Andrew Little set him a very good example but I’m not sure they have anyone with quite so much stardust as JA 110
Lost @lostofaotearoa.bsky.social · 08/09/2026Andrew Little passed the baton to Jacinda Arden 7 weeks before the election. 9 weeks til the election now. There’s time yet. Maybe he reckons that 7 weeks is lucky 100
