6. cont. Any election ads can be used to persuade ppl to vote (or not) for a party, candidate, or type of party/candidate with xyz beliefs. So a party having electorate candidates = more room to fundraise ad funds = more campaigning for (any one or all of) party vote, candidate vote, two tick.

💯 Chris Hipkins is too kind. Mowbray has zero right to fuck with NZ democracy. He's a one-eyed dairy farmer who wants no control over ghg emissions. He got rich from his family who left NZ and became billionaires using cheap Chinese labour and selling toys and nappies to Americans. #nzpol
