I'm curious as to your take - my understanding was that New Zealand had a lot more socialist tendencies than Australia or England already and the 1996 election reforms pushed things even further left. By way of contrast, the United States has been pushing aggressively to the right since the Nixon Shock or before and things like "paying for teachers" have been severely deprecated ever since the first 'boomer got to vote.
