Dirty commie.
I'm almost exactly there too, which is surprisingly given that I've never voted for Labor or any left of center party (National & ACT). I'd suggest it says more about what left/right divisions have already been concluded in NZ.

I think our political centre is left wing and liberal compared to the average

@canefan 100% this. We cannot contemplate anytime we know voting for Trump, for instance. Puts us into perspective though, right wingers in NZ are centrist or left wing overseas
That is more a style thing though isn't it? What policy area would he be not be outflanked on the conservative side by either Brash or English?
You also can't take the politics out of the system where they are played - unicameral FPtP systems before they were reformed produced the likes of Joh Bjelke and Muldoon. Johnson is playing a very different game than what Key etc had too.

Absolute bullshit.
Right wingers exist everywhere in the same fashion. There is no difference other than the media portrayal and the localized reasons / battles.
A thicker skinned fantastic orator, following Trumps exact policies would have nothing of the troubles the Don has had.

His combative bully boy nature has definitely caused him major problems. He isn't the first right wing politician in the US, and hardly the most right leaning.

VP Pence, as just one example is FAR more conservative than Trump. But he seems more
centristrational because he's an old-school politician who knows how to work a room, especially a room of reporters.Fixed
