Keep in mind, we have a political party with absolute power right now. So if you move here, you'll hear a lot of blaming the last govt, while not wanting to acknowledge that the current govt is doing this also and could easily change it.

Identity politics is alive and well in NZ as much as it is anywhere. Blame the politicians who were in power 5 years back.

So you can't really call it an aspiration when all major political parties here support the same model - only the lens of folks political affiliations is being covered here.

Funnily enough, for me it's the pragmatism of the politicians that makes me want to move there.
