‘Is NZ a better country after 6 years under Labour?’
Actually that is not the question now. Voters will have already made that determination for themselves, and the answer is irrelevant now.
The question is now ... which party will improve things for NZ over the next three years.
It doesn't even matter which side of the fence one is on now. The past cannot be changed. Voters need to think with their heads at election time, and focus on the next three years, not the past six.

Former Labour Party member becomes National candidate
Smart woman :)
That is where you are so wrong - leopards do not change their spots although Labour is doing its darn best to scrub the last 5 years of incompetent, divisive and spin driven government out of its record book.
Sadly, there are many NZers who still fall for the continuing spin.
People like JAK swallow spin without thinking like they breathe air.
Now they would like NZers to forget the last 5.5 years under Labour - it never happened!
Most transparent government ever!
100,000 Kiwibuild homes!
Transformative initiatives to drive healthcare, education and policing!
Humbug!
So Mahuta declined a desperate request from Ukraine last year for 10 high-tech grain stacking machines from MHM Automation in Christchurch. She prefers to send "humanitarian and military support", both of which we do on such small scales that it is meaningless. But apparently better than sending them grain stackers that are actually much needed and could make a difference.
From the Herald:
"But the minister declined the application, saying the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade (MFAT) does not currently have a development co-operation programme for Ukraine and “at this stage the Government’s focus is on humanitarian assistance to meet immediate needs, and responding to Ukraine’s requests for military equipment in defence of its sovereignty and territorial integrity”.

Douglas and Prebble left the Left to form ACT. Which is now right of the Right.
Has Labour been wrong these last 5.5 years? You have constantly defended them. Is Labour right now that Hipkins is undoing the most extreme of their idiotic policies as fast as he can?
Where does that leave voters like you? A flock without a shepherd?
Where has Cindy gone? Where is Hipkins leading you?
That is a very harsh comment Balance and one that is clearly not correct.
Justakiwi has stated many times on here she is not a labour supporter and she does not come across to me as someone who swallows spin without thinking. You do her an injustice saying that. I think she comes across as someone who actually thinks a lot about how things have been and how things could be better in the future and which party can make that happen going forward.
Be anti Labour all you want Balance but please give up your relentless attacks on people like Justakiwi who are just an entitled as you are to express their opinion without being subjected to personal attacks
Just because Justakiwi voted for Labour in the past does not mean she swallowed any spin or BS. We all have our reasons for how we voted in the past.
I think Justakiwi has made it pretty clear she is undecided who she will vote for this time. I say good on her for being open minded and taking time to decide whose policies she supports.
I am confident she will do her own research and reach a decision that feels right. That is all any of us can do.
