And in the local body elections, it's far, far more the case that—and, you know, we have a diverse range of candidates from all sorts of backgrounds and all sorts of political leanings, even, that won't have their access to political parties. As the Electoral Commission and others have previously made this point, our democracy is not as available and does not engage all groups evenly. So we know that young people are less engaged with our democracy. We know that women, Māori, Pacific candidates, and other marginalised ethnic groups are less likely to be selected by existing prominent political parties if they put themselves forward, and they're far less likely to do so. So to say that once you do put yourself forward, as someone from a gender, race, ethnicity, or background that's less likely to be engaged, who we need to encourage but is also, as we know—and the evidence has shown us over and over again—more likely to then be targeted by the sorts of threats or abuse that make those candidates less safe, is antithetical to the purpose of our democracy.
