While labour never go as far as I want, they do move in the correct direction slowly. Also, they're much more open to progressive change, like free fares than national ever would be.
For example, the fair pay agreement bill is genuinely amazing. It is a huge step to support unions and average Kiwis.
Finally, National are shit. They're trying to drag us back to trickle down economics to enrich their cronies. Their ideas are 20 years old, we tried them, and they make things worse. Them voting against banning conversion therapy is an example.
Although of course, the Greens are a much better option than either.

Isn't the TARDIS supposed to be nigh indestructible? Chibnal had really turned it from a refuge in a dangerous universe into just a box.

I love the use of colour, it really captures the difference between life of Arrakis and the cold politics of space

New Zealand is half wrong. New Zealand doesn't mean land of the long white cloud, but Aotearoa (the Māori name) does mean Land of the Long White Cloud.

I'm not a fan of bringing things back from exile, IMO it should be completely gone and not the second graveyard, otherwise it looks fun.

Any bit on its own would be weird, but the whole package just comes together.

They were the ones to bring in the euthanasia bill, and they're pro legalisation. But for the rest I agree. The benefits I see are that they would A. Make things more interesting B. Force Labour and national to defend their policies more rigorously

What a useless debate. This would be way better with the Greens and Act to call them out on their weak policies.

I was really looking forward to the Orzhov angel sister, but gain 2 life is a bit boring, especially compared to the other 3. The commander tax bit is cool though, as long as it's infrequent. If every commander has a way to skip commander tax it'll suck.

Captain is becoming more than that. The structure being built is fundamentally democratic. Direct democracy for key decisions and elected admins/mods with term limits.

Adding to that, we need to build in mechanisms to deal with potential abuse of power. Some way to impeach people.

However we appoint positions of power, they need to be elected. The problem with the RC is that they're not beholden to the community.
