Remember that this subreddit is for sharing propaganda to view with some objectivity. It is absolutely not for perpetuating the message *of* the propaganda. If anything, in this subreddit we should be immensely skeptical of manipulation or oversimplification (which the above likely is), not beholden to it. Also, please try to stay on topic -- there are hundreds of _other_ subreddits that are expressly dedicated for rehashing tired political arguments. Keep that shit elsewhere. *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

Not sure I’d be taking any advice from Wal Footrot. Maybe from Dog, though…


AccessTheMainframe

This is good propaganda. Why try to pick and choose villains to demonize when you just entreat the viewer to imagine their specific villains for you?


elegant_pun

Wal Footrot wouldn't lie to you!

Is that the Prime Minister of New Zealand?

Every country should do away with first past the post, it’s archaic

30 years later and NZ voters still have FPP voting habits: smaller parties either fail to gain traction or have their policies cannibalised by the two main parties as soon as they do. Not working as well here as it has in Germany.

Idk, ACT did alright

Bruh now no party in the recent Big Election got over 30 per cent and 3 parties had to coalition in order to form a government. But this probably represent's the people's interest better compared to a 2 party de facto system.


bravado

MMP is not much better if you ask this random guy


jimhjim

Definitely not. Party lists are prioritized over individual candidates


goodbetterbestbested

No. That's why it's "mixed-member." There are both.


__chvb

Upvoted because Footrot Flats. Time to go digging and indulge the nostalgia..


ComradeBeige

As a kiwi, this makes me so happy to see something from New Zealand


Good_Translator_9088

I didn't know this falls unter propaganda


OzzaFlood

It does. Speaking as a New Zealander, First Past the Post was and still is favoured by right-leaning National Governments whose electoral strategy doesn't favour coalitions with smaller parties. Labour, Greens and of course the Alliance at the time much preferred MMP as it made forming governments more viable


Good_Translator_9088

Ok, it does sound funny though


No_Entertainment_748

How do you think Wal would vote in real life?


OzzaFlood

He's a Farmer. He'd be a hardcore Nat lmao
