It may not work, but he thinks it's the best he's got. Jacinda went with a go big or go home strategy in 2017 when she was bought in at the last minute to save the furniture. Sadly, a whole bunch of believed her and were surprised she couldn't/didn't follow through.

Why shouldn’t people have believed her? Why not be surprised that she didn’t follow through? When a political party choses their leader, they are telling the public to trust them to be our leader too. If they don’t follow through on their main policies, whether due to a lack of support (what did most of Ardern’s MPs do?) or mistakes (Ardern’s no CGT comment) that’s on them, not the public who put our faith in them. BTW, I realised before the last election that both National and Labour would do more damage than good with their policies, so I voted TOP.
