What is your take on the Victorian Election where "Dictator Dan" got back with an increased majority. Turned out the noisy people were not as numerous as thought.

I have talked about this a bit in various places but have been meaning to write a longer piece: I do think NZLP can take some heart from the ALP victory in Victoria, as it shows some of that dark feeling post pandemic is a lot smaller than some on the right willed it to be. That said: State politics are not federal politics (not many people would blame inflation on the ALP in Vic) and Dan’s operation feels a lot slicker than NZLP’s tbh.
