We all know our political parties are good at giving each other press with their various social media accounts, but how can we encourage them to go for their own? Good or bad, all press is good press, so here’s Nexus suggestions on how they can get, well, out there! Because we totally want to see more of them in the media than we already do!
National
– Gen Z’s main issue with the party is that they can see the party’s lack of inclusivity and issues. Ditch the homophobia and casual racism, and I’m sure you can get at least a few extra votes, National.
– Speaking about that tight reputation the party has, that needs to change! Maybe put women in power, and I’m sure things will be twice as good as they are now!
Labour
– Honestly, I would ditch the traditional red and swap it for a vintage washed-toned red! This is also more aesthetic, and getting people to wear political merch is a strategy no one’s gone for yet! I can picture oversized vintage red tees with embroidered logos on them. Or perhaps a dad cap. Maybe use the profits to support emergency housing or fund ambulances, you know, something the people need.
– A few more memes on the IG really would not hurt guys. It’s looking a bit too National at the moment for my liking.
Greens
– Hand out marijuana samples to promote the legislation of it. The people will be happy, that’s for sure!
– These guys already have the upper hand with Gen Z, so I say embrace it even more! Host carbon-neutral events, something instagrammable yet slightly good for society. Perhaps Cocktail nights with trees planted with every drink!
New Conservatives
– I don’t even know where to start with these guys. Maybe get some Land back, and then people might be open to listening to whatever you guys have to say!
– If you’re going to be anti-abortion I don’t particularly feel like providing you with any great PR moves so sorry guys!
NZ First
– Another party no one understands, so maybe make a Tiktok or something and at least become the funny party. I pick my guys based on a sense of humour, so maybe this ideology will get you a few votes!
– Winston Peters is such an icon within New Zealand’s political culture, and I’d love to see the man on Dancing with the stars or The Masked singer.
