@davemosk @Niall @phil_stevens why not alter the locus of power in Aotearoa? It's happened over and over again in human history. We need to stop accepting the 'softly' and 'gradually' approach. It demonstrably, over the course of our lifetimes, doesn't work. We need a *major* shift in political message and policy - something like what's just happened in New York City. The message has changed *abruptly*. The transition on the ground is happening in a human timeframe. But the status quo is gone.

@davemosk @Niall @phil_stevens it seems clear, given Mamdani's almost inconceivable victory (given the power aligned against him), as well as Hungary's recent power shift, and also the success Polanski & the Greens in the UK, that the time for a substantial authentic change is right about now. We just need the right messenger with the right narrative. I don't even think it's that sensitive to the messenger.
