Labour’s disconnect with the electorate – and with itself

There is a sea change happening in the wider electorate which is counter intuitive to what the polls are saying. The electorate is wanting fairer taxes and have the free-loading rich pay much more. After six years of brutal Labour policies under David Lange and Roger Douglas the electorate had had a gutsful. These tax changes the electorate wants won’t impact the 99% of voters who go to the polls. Labour’s failure means we will have to face three years of awful National/Act policies which will deepen the problems we face.
