And in international election news…

New Zealand had an election on the same day as our referendum which seems to have ended about as badly… I’ll confess to not knowing much about trans-Tasman politics, so I only really know that others consider Christopher Luxon’s victory at the ballot box a bad thing for progressives over there and that NZ voters basically voted to undo whatever good Jacinda Ardern did…

…and then I saw someone post Oolong’s reaction to Luxon winning and… oh dear. I’m a little worried for my friends in Aotearoa now.

On the plus side, though, it looks like Poland has shifted a bit further left after their election; apparently the ruling Law & Justice party got more votes, but Donald Tusk’s Civic Coalition could unite with two other parties that would just put him over the edge. Nice to see somewhere in Europe swing away from the far right for a change. Just wonder what Stefan Molyneux makes of the situation; hopefully Poland is still white enough for him…
