Amanda Michelina's Progressive Party

Is really fun to do atm -- this is my first sustained experiment with ChatGPT, and I think it's a hell of a lot more practical than using it to write a South Park episode (though that was also very amusing). There's no 'team of people in a room working on deepfakes' ... this is 100% me and the AI. The manifesto was slightly clunky, but honestly I doubt a human would have written it for me and it's way beyond my area of expertise. Those are my real policies and my real political beliefs, though I welcome editing and policy advice from readers. 👋 - Since I was able to pick up my meds last Wednesday, I've felt like I'm behaving normally. I bet it felt like this when they invented the Values Party in some dingy student flat. - Why did I form AMPP?

I decided that I was thoroughly fed up with our shitty elections and our shitty, small-minded approaches to policy and thought I could do better.

It'd be nice if people decided to vote for us, but that's 3 years away. I'm pushing my policies as I felt I was largely circumspect about those during the 2023 election; I was sticking to my party line rather than my own views (reminder: yes, I'm a member of Te Pāti Māori). Supporting my party essentially means supporting my electoral reforms, my drug reforms, my welfare reforms, and the economic reforms that will result from legalising drugs and emphasising hemp as the material of the future. The referendum on the Māori King is my idea, and I'd hope that people get behind it.🪴
