The gap between campaign rhetoric and performance is frustrating, and the lies will only get louder!
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis admitted that the gap between campaign rhetoric and performance is frustrating, and it is the reason why Elon Musk has started his own political party.
This is also true for politics in New Zealand. What was offered in 2023 campaign, “Get NZ Back On Track,” was quickly rebranded into “Going for Growth,” after National realised that actually, them coming into Government has derailed NZ further off the track.
As we enter election season in a few months, the lies will only get louder.
The gap between campaign rhetoric and governing reality is a global trend. And as the disconnect grows, so does the cynicism. Voters feel duped, and politicians respond not with performance but with louder, shinier lies.
It’s a vicious cycle: the more trust erodes, the more extreme the responses. Just wait and watch how the left leaning media and politics will use Kamala’s “Threat to Democracy” narrative to paint the Coalition Government as a real danger.
Chris Hipkins has already started attacking the Covid-19 Phase 2 inquiry, and claims he never mandated the Covid Vaccine.
The gap’s already driving people to the edges, and if it widens further, we’re not just talking about a few rough years. We’re talking about a democracy that’s lost its legitimacy.
The lies will get louder, the gaps will widen, and more empty promises will be made. Make sure to ‘check the weather’ before you climb the mountain of politics in 2026.
