Should Labour Govern Alone Or With The Greens?

In 2020 NewZealand held its general elections and Labour came through with 65 seats in parliament, and the ability to form government by themselves. However even with the choice to form Government is Labour willing to add other parties in Government for the benefit of NewZealand? Labour although having the ability to Govern alone have clear areas of alignment with the Green Party. NewZealand could potentially benefit from a shared governance between the Greens and Labour as there is cross over between their economic, environmental and social policies. More shared cooperation could help grow a more sustainable NewZealand.

One of the clear areas of alignment between the parties is around the Greens transportation plan of creating more accessible and affordable public transport options. Including added investment into trains, buses and more. Not only does this cater to the general public, it's environmentally conscious due to it taking down the use of individual vehicles. More investment into transport creates many new job opportunities, which leads into our COVID recovery.

The Greens are pushing a greater focus on health and environment. This could be helpful to Labour with more cross-party support around key social and environmental policies. For example both parties in depth plans for housing that correlate well with each other. 

Labour focussing on improving access and affordability with job creation and is putting an emphasis on Maori lead solutions. The Greens are also looking at access to housing, with great focus on the quality of housing to reduce cold damp homes. Housing is an issue that requires cross-party support to create more quality and accessible housing.

Labour and The Greens also have in depth plans for the rainbow community. Having more accessible help and care open for the community. The two also plan to abolish conversion therapy, which has been since carried out by Labour. The two parties also plan to implement more security and safety for LGBTQ+ students with gender neutral bathrooms. Ensuring that there is a safe space to talk in schools and opening more opportunities for transgender poeple to transition.

Although the two parties have many ideas that correlate together there still may be disagreements between them. With COVID-19 exposing wealth inequality amongst NewZealanders, The Greens plan to raise taxes for those in the top 6% of earnings, however this idea is not strongly supported by Labour. The wealth tax is seemingly controversial among the general public and the government. The wealth tax has been a topical area within the public since the co-governance was speculated. 

Co-governance between the two parties could work to create a healthy and safe NewZealand. The two parties working together would not only benefit NewZealanders but the world as a whole, as many are now looking to NewZealand for inspiration. Co-governance between the two parties will lead into a positive period for NewZealand under the leadership of Labour and The Greens.

Key Beliefs (RE)

 Key Beliefs

“ The Apostles' Creed is trinitarian in structure with sections affirming belief in God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit.[2] “ Basically the Apostles believe that God is the essence of the trinity (Father, son, holy spirit.) As three beings in one god. This belief has been essential to the Christian Church. This has been assumed to be a direct belief from the original apostles themselves.

The Apostle's Creed:

I believe in God the Father Almighty, maker of heaven and earth;

And in Jesus Christ his only Son our Lord: who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead, and buried; the third day he rose from the dead; he ascended into heaven, and sitteth at the right hand of God the Father Almighty; from thence he shall come to judge the living and the dead.

I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen.

This is the first recorded evidence of the creed.

The Apostles creed is still used today in many churches and is held to a high regard in the christian community as the apostles teachings. 

Nicene Creed

“We believe in one God, the Father, the Almighty, maker of heaven and earth. … We believe in One Lord, Jesus Christ, the only Son of God … of one Being with the Father … [who] was made man … he suffered death and … he rose again … and is seated at the right hand of the Father. … We believe in the Holy Spirit … the giver of life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son … who has spoken through the prophets.” Nicene Creed

The nicenes creed holds the core belief is that there is one god that exists in three persons. Jesus, who was born and died fully human to save the other humans. God, who was the divine creator. The Holy Spirit which is the giver of life and the presence of God. 

Summary of Key Beliefs (apostles creed)

Catholics share with Christians the belief that Jesus is the divine son of God, God is the creator of all and the holy spirit gives life. 

The Son

Catholicism believes in not only the divinity of Jesus but also the immortality of a human soul which will be judged for their actions in life through death. Dictating where their soul should go in the after life. Jesus however is viewed to have died fully human despite being the son of God to “save” humanity from their sin, and after rose to heaven to stay at the right hand of god. These beliefs stem from the teachings of the life and death of Jesus. Jesus also started the Catholic church and appointed 12 apostles to continue his work after his death, and eventual resurrection. 

The Father

God is viewed as the creator of everything and a divine being and is a vital part of the trinity. God is the creator. Catholics believe you can enter relations with god through prayer and other methods. 

The Holy Spirit

The holy spirit is God’s continued presence on earth. The Holy Spirit often works through miracles and speaks through prophets and those faithful to the religion. The Holy Spirit in my eyes represents faith in catholicism and in the trinity.
