Hitler rose through the unions, then the labour party. He blamed hard economic times on the Jews, told pure Germans to hate and to rise up war began. ( labour/greens politics doesn't change still lots of hate)

To be fair to Megan Woods, Hitler did come to power in a Mixed Member Proportional system (why does this sound vaguely familiar?) which does mean that he 'did' have a mandate to govern(?); by the same token he 'did' have the mandate to cancel democratic elections as he was given such a mandate by the preceding democratic election(?) I myself like to use Hilter as a short-circuit argument; mainly because most New Zealanders have absolutely nothing in the way of a political education, but do 'know' that 'Hilter was bad'. Woods would have been better served by using an analogy from Harry Potter or something.
