"The interesting thing is, individual MPs - you pointed out Hana[-Rawhiti Maipi-Clark], Tamatha Paul - have some really good stuff on their individual media, the parties are not really picking things up or popularising them."

Maybe political parties are dead weight in the digital age? Maybe choosing MMP as our proportional representation system was a mistake, because it gives Parliament's supreme power to parties?

A quick Iran update, including the response here in NZ and the pressure developing on Luxon following poor polling and internal leaks. NZ media continues to boosterise failed tech and the Waitangi Tribunal is calling for a halt to curriculum changes.

Hey @avilewis do your old pals Jeremy and @tonymcquailgreenprogressive a favour and bring this up next time you talk to him. #yellowknife city council passed this resolution on #ProportionalRepresentation unanimously yesterday and I hear that a copy was sent to #PMCarney this morning and to minister of Crown Indigenous Relations, Rebecca Alty. You can mention that every one of her former colleagues on council voted for it. #cdnpoli #canpoli
