Hipkins can’t point to anything they should have done differently

Radio NZ reports:

Two months on from Labour’s election-night shellacking, leader Chris Hipkins still cannot pinpoint what the party could have done differently during the campaign to win.

Long may this lack of insight continue.

The months before voting day were dominated by a “vibe for change”, he said. “I’m not sure that there’s a lot that we could have done to shift that.”

The question they should ask is why was there such a strong mood for change, despite only being in their second term? Why did the country direction go negative for the first time since 2008?
