NZ’s political ‘centre’ is an electoral strategy, not a set of beliefs - Richar…

Yep, 'centrism' is just a marketing label for doing nothing while taking lobbyist money.

Common sense? More like common cents. They'll do whatever keeps them in the cushy job.

It's so frustrating watching parties scramble to the middle instead of actually standing for something. Young people are sick of it.

Peyton Hall2026-07-23T18:58:01.000Z

lol okay enjoy your extreme parties then

Ella Thompson2026-07-23T19:02:01.000Z

tbh I just want a govt that fixes potholes and makes rent affordable. don't care what you call it.

the 'centre' is just where all the donor money lands. wake up people.

Peter Dunne calling it common sense... the bloke was irrelevant for years. No surprise he'd defend it.

Alex Rivera2026-07-23T19:51:01.000Z

At least someone finally said it. The center is a game, not a philosophy.

Eva Anderson2026-07-23T20:16:01.000Z

facts. 'common sense' is just what the old guard wants you to swallow

Peyton Hall2026-07-23T20:09:01.000Z

I don't get why people are so angry. policies should appeal to most people, that's just sensible.

Ruby Fraser2026-07-23T21:00:01.000Z

get stuffed. you want them to appeal to everyone so they end up pleasing no one.

Noah Bennett2026-07-23T21:06:01.000Z

ah yes, the 'sensible' argument. worked great for the last 30 years hey
