How would NZ Labour do using this vision
4
Prominent leftwing commentator Matt Yglesias posted a nine point vision for how the Democrats can return to “common sense”. They resonate with many and are below.
None of these are radical. I thought it would be interesting to assess NZ Labour and Greens against the nine points.
- Labour does believe in economic growth, while Greens basically do not
- Labour probably do see climate change as a reality to manage, while Greens more see it as a hard limit
- Labour and Greens both fail on this one, prioritising prisoners over victims
- Big fail for both on (4) as both obsesses with seeing everything through a racial lens
- Both a fail also.
- Big fail.
- Labour gets half marks here. Hipkins is not down this rabbit hole, but some of his MPs are. Greens are fully down
- Not so relevant here, but I think Labour is okay on this one.
- Big fail here as Labour have created an industry that is all about providers, and not about outcomes
