    A vote for Opportunity is a vote for the status quo.

    This is a party:

    - That have openly stated they are willing to work with our existing far right parties
    - Are 'Blue-Green' (they've picked a side)
    - Will work with NAT if 1 vote more than Labour
    - Whose party leader's mum was senior advisor for Judith Collins

    If you don't want 3 more years of fascists & racists, it would be sane/prudent to avoid empowering this party with the ability to choose that for us all.

    Supposedly Center parties 'negotiating' with the far right or adapting toward populism is exactly how the needle shifts. We see this all over the west.

    'Meet me in the middle here', they say, and then take two steps more to the right, and when a new middle has been found, take two steps more.

    Negotiating with those that would oppress, destroy & extract for power & greed is incompatible with a healthy democracy.

    No party that does this should have a place in government.
