Colin Craig’s hot milo in Rodney or a drink driving charge with John Tamihere in Waitakere?

The polls are showing why the election will be so difficult for National to win. If any one of National’s current political allies trip up into oblivion post 2014, forming a Government becomes incredibly difficult for John.

ACT have betrayed any political values they once had by voting for the GCSB mass surveillance laws and United Future can barely maintain the minimum necessary membership to even be a political party. If the Greens and Labour work together in Ohariu, Dunne’s days are numbered and the only chance Banks has to hold on is if he can find more sad pet stories.

Either way, ACT & United Future will be lucky to return their electorates but highly unlikely to bring any other MPs through on their tailcoats.

So that leaves National relying on the Maori Party. If Labour and MANA cut a deal to work together in the Maori electorates, it’s all over for the Maori Party, knocking a vital ally out of the running.

Where does that leave John Key? It leaves him contemplating one of his infamous electorate teapot shenanigans. He either has a hot milo with Colin Craig in Rodney, or he goes and gets a drink driving charge with John Tamihere in Waitakere, after Tamihere announces his move to NZ First.

Labour and the Greens need to start pointing out that a vote for NZ First could be a vote for National, and they need to start making those noises at the beginning of next year as the polls start to sharpen up.

While the left has every reason to feel excited by Cunliffe’s early momentum, the next election will be razor close and down to the wire. National will do all they can to hold onto power and NZ First or the Conservative Party will be part of that process if Key becomes desperate.

When jonky says jump , I must jump . So must we all . And while we’re jumping like idiots , he sells us out to foreigners . How can he sit there with his pocket jester unscathed ? Unchallenged ? Immune . Like an armour plated parasite .
