Isn't New Zealand currently going through their own slide to the right? The Māori only represent like ~17% of the population over there. New Zealand just elected a conservative coalition.

Seems like you're just moving from one place you (presumably) don't agree with to a new place that also just signed up for shit you probably aren't going to agree with.

I mean it looks beautiful but if your travel is for political reasons I fear you're just heading to a different slice of the same.

Have a safe flight.

Maori only represent 17% of the population however because of our founding document they have a permanent place in government and will always be heavily involved in governance.

Our country elected the national party which is right after two terms of our left wing government. Its expected since our elections always bounce between left and right. The current right wing government is stupid but nothing compared to trump. The controversy comes mostly from their coalition partners bills Act who are led by a complete moron.

Labour is going to win next election because national has fucked up almost every area they campaigned on.

Much of the world is sliding to the right. And much of it is not sliding nearly as far or as fast as the USA.
