James @terrasea.bsky.social · 13/10/2026I really hope Opportunity smell the roses and, if they get into parliament, don't go with National. They'd be showing their true colours if they did. I hope I'm wrong as I'm not hostile to most of the policies they've shared with us so far. #nzpol 020
James @terrasea.bsky.social · 13/10/2026Like Shane Jones, Winston Peters is a fossil from a bygone era. He is showing his age. Happens to us all in the end if we're lucky. He needs to retire and spare us the constant culture wars only him and his party are interested in fighting. #nzpol 030
