A reminder that we don’t live in a two-party state
Good to see today’s announcement that the Greens will work together with National on crafting a sustainable fund for private home insulation and a regulatory system for natural health products. The deal does not restrict the Greens right to criticise the Government, who are often the only people to raise concern when National pass laws un-democratically, and is generally a good move to see by National in offering the Greens to help. However this does seem to be a way for National to distract from their hard right labour and law & order policies and appear more centralist – and I’m not too happy about that.
