Tactical voting is bad if you’re being cynical. But if you’re not, it might be ok?
We’re getting into some “spirit of cricket” type shit with this election
Opportunity needs to stay out of the formal coalition (if they get the option). Don’t be part of a 4 headed monster.
Help a minority govt pass a budget with no crazy shit. But don’t get yourself tied up in this.
Imagine your legacy is a one term finance minister who lost her seat and cancelled the Cook Strait ferries

literally perfect end to the graham legacy that Iran did regime change in South Carolina lol
Markets are nervous that a Dem controlled Congress will slow the data centre build out … which was, err, making markets nervous.
The WSJ had to use European Space Agency satellite imagery to assess Iranian damage inflicted on US bases

This is right. Have often thought that for T20 you should only have 6 wickets. Still 11 players in the field, but 5 are bowlers who don’t bat. Also scrap power plays.
NewstalkZB’s biggest shills, HDPA and Hosking, are giving the RBNZ bouquets, but don’t dare suggest politics was a factor
electric ferries… which we charge using diesel and driving around in circles is a pretty good metaphor for this country

Put aside the economic stupidity of the Trump admin's Canada tariffs, the political stupidity is just unbound.
The election is in 10 days. The cake is baked. No Maine voters are changing their minds because you exempted blueberry producers from tariffs for a week.
I am pleased to have secured additional tariff exemptions products crucial to Maine’s agricultural industries, including blueberry, potato, apple, and seaweed producers.
Many of our farmers and growers rely on specialized equipment, packaging materials, and other products from Canada that are either unavailable from American suppliers or cannot be replaced without incurring significant expense.
In my repeated conversations with Ambassador Greer, Secretary Lutnick, and other senior Administration officials, I have asked for tariff relief for these important products and I will continue working directly with Administration officials to seek additional relief and encourage a broader trade agreement with Canada, our neighbor, ally, and largest trading partner.
