What's really behind the facade

 Pauline's party have historic win this weekend May 9th 2026   
I like the passion of many of the people involved, but as always, who in their associations is going to steer that to effective discipline of the ecological economy. All hands to better policy, but who is going to drive it and be convincing down the track?

We are in economic ruin and while the retreat from net zero will help free up the place from much waste, nothing can help us if we keep indulging in quick fix reaction to adverse pressures. (eg lack of good work and housing which can be addressed by good policy
