BFD Political corner: Election 2020 is a new series that will feature political speeches, political ads and political campaigns on social media from a range of different political parties in the lead up to the New Zealand election.
Today we have the Sustainable New Zealand Party:
The party has not posted anything to social media since our last post on them.
Their last Facebook post was 13th of March and their last Tweet (not retweet) was March 12th. If this is any indication of the amount of effort they are putting into fighting the election I think we can safely rule them out right now.
The Maori Party is not much better but they have the advantage of having been around a long time and also having been in government before. Being a race-based party they can gain votes on that fact alone even without any policy. In contrast, the Sustainable NZ Party has to steal votes off the Greens, Labour and National in order to get somewhere. Their lack of effort thus far means that for now, I will not be covering them on BFD Political Corner again unless they actually make some kind of an effort. If they don’t care enough to work hard to attract your vote why should I waste our readership giving them air time?
Please send us links to any speeches, social media campaigns, funny memes and any other political content promoted by NZ political parties for inclusion in this series. They don’t have to be good, they just need to be what is being used by a political party to fight this election.
I am confident that our viewers will critique the content’s effectiveness in the comments.
