Seems amazing that a substantial majority of people are being exploited by policies like those being promoted by National & ACT. Yet it appears a majority will actively vote to continue that exploitation, often their own.
Seems like we have either a suffrage problem or an education/intelligence problem. Or both. Not sure how to start trying to address that.
But why do people actively vote against their own interest & that of the worst off in our society? Is marketing really that powerful?
@vik@mastodon.nzoss.nz@lightweight We seem to have a choice of being screwed by either undesirable policies, ineffective policies, or unattainable ones. Yay.
@vik the problem I see is that all the parties currently tipped to take control are deckchair re-arrangers - the ship is sinking and they're arguing over who should travel in steerage and who should get the crème brûlée.
Yeah, they're mostly tossers. There are, however, a few good ones, and we need to promote them.
@lightweight I suspect this will result in a lot of single-issue voting on local grievances.
