@ArrestJK@mastodon.nz To be a member of the National Party does one have to take a hypocritic oath?

@ArrestJK@mastodon.nz True enough, but there are too many councils and most of them are technically insolvent because of the amount of debt they've been forced to take on to cover services that central government has "devolved" to them. What I'm not seeing from National is what they're actually looking to achieve with this restructure.
