TheOWOTrongle talks about how Labour and the Greens broke a government deal.
Post Body

Last term, was an overall success, we manged to pass some good legislation through the house and blocked National from being able to implement right-wing policy which the so called "centrist" TOP was happy to support. However last term was a failure as well, because two out of the three parties in the government failed to vote on promises made in our agreement. Those two parties were Labour and the Greens.

The first time the deal was broken was by a Labour backbencher, it was on the More Annual Holidays Bill, which would mean that Kiwi's would have more time to relax while still being paid. Ironically Labour sponsored this bill in term 6 but clearly either don't care if it passes or don't have an effective whip. However both ways, you can't trust Labour to deliver on it's deals and promises.

The second time it was broken was by the Greens on the lootbox bill, when Green MPs (at the time of the bills ending) PM-ME-SPRINKLES and ItsAlexa had broken the whip. There was certainly enough time from when the members had defected to when the bill closed for them to switch votes but they opted to keep their original whip. The Greens sent no punishments their way, and for a whip breaking defector PM-ME-SPRINKLES ranks a high fourth on the Green List.

So if you want a trustworthy option who will keep promises, Vote Kiwi.
