It's dumb that our debates about cities are like "should our cities just have single family housing or should there be be townhouses too?" when the contest of ideas should be "should our cities be solarpunk or cyberpunk?"

strong contender for most-wrong take of the election

The possibility over a major party getting zero list seats is talked about every election and it never happens because how people party vote is highly correlated to how people electorate vote When there’s a big swing in party vote there’s also a big swing in electorates won!

Without Bishop I think there's a strong case to abandon the new RM system and go back to the RMA

This is true - a huge amount of the detail of how the new regimes will actually work has to be filled in with (basically) regulatory instruments like national directions and standards - the job is nowhere near done and Bish is a huge loss

Importantly, Bishop was the only person in cabinet who understood the intent, trade-offs, and details of the existing national direction. Crafting new national direction in the new system is not copy paste, and could be very easy to break what's already working

Without Bishop I have very low confidence they'll be able to thread that needle So, big risk to this government that this reform effort stunts the growth its trying to encourage

I find these top-party-for-each-issue polls from Ipsos very low signal Given each issue is effectively done with a FPP poll, these are basically questions of who is the most popular party at any one point in time Not super useful for navigating issues in MMP

New Ipsos monitor that shows: - Worry about petrol prices and healthcare at record highs - Gangs issue did not resonate - Labour must trusted across almost every issue
