Just watched the New Zealand Election Youth Debate, and it hurt me to watch. Chloe Swarbrick for the greens party was the only one with original thoughts, the rest were struggling to regurgitate barely relevant information, or fumbling statistics written down infront of them. Though my own plotical opinions differ from Chloes, shes clearly a smart woman with a great ability to articulate her thoughts in a clear and concise manner and was the only one to, at one point or another, recognise that her own thoughts are not all that matters, and that the thoughts of the community are what should be pressuring/pushing her decisions. That is democracy, and she would be a leader I would vote for as my vote will go to someone I believe 1) Has similar political beliefs, 2) And more importantly, respects democracy and all it entails.
Just to be clear for any New Zealanders reading... I will not be voting Greens
