For those who wondered why TV 1 News would be so excited about this party that is not and never has been in Parliament and has no more popular support than TPM has; well, these comments explain.
Let’s set the record straight. The “Opportunity Party” is most definitely NOT a “Teal” (Blue Green / centre right ) party. It is increasingly looking like a Labour project to destroy the Green Party, or at the least, another clueless hack group to add to their ragtag coalition
Let’s join some dots.
1. The General Manager of the party is Iain Lees-Galloway
2. His business partner is Toni Grace, Hipkins’ partner
3. Their number 3 candidate is Kayla Kingdom-Bedd, an author of the He Puapua report that Labour secretly adopted
4. She is the partner of James Shaw, the ousted leader from the Green Party
5. James Shaw is said to be doing a lot of the heavy lifting policy-wise
Do not be hoodwinked in to thinking this is some sort of teal centre right party, it is not.
It is a project designed to destroy the Green Party, aided and abetted by Labour linked people and a former Green Party leader.
Go and check out their website and see for yourself their hair brained “policies” around taxation , soft on crime and climate hysteria.
