On my lunch break I went to the nearest shopping centre to vote. I was the only person in the place under the age of 70.

People complain that the government isn’t radically overhauling our entire economy and society, this is the reason for that.

    As a young person myself I get the vibe that many my age do not really give a shit about New Zealand politics and would rather fixate on what’s going on in the US. Possibly because with how international social media is, news and discourse regarding that spreads the easiest. I think this is a large part of the problem. I know people who barely know the basics about our parties and what they stand for, and they’re well old enough to vote.

      So they have nothing to complain about then. The old people are reliably voting and getting what they want. If you want to get what you want the minimum amount of effort you could put out is to vote.
