Suck it right wing clowns.
Labour’s jump wasn’t just a bump, it was a mighty hump for a red headed boy from the Hutt!
Don’t be fooled by the Rocks that he’s got, he’s still Chippy from the Hutt
Labour – 34%
National – 34%
ACT – 12%
Greens – 8%
NZF – 2.9%
Maori Party – 2.1%
TOP 2%
NZ Outdoors & Freedom on 1.0%
Democracy NZ on 0.9%
New Conservative on 0.8%
Vision NZ 0.2%.
Those sub 5% feral antivax lunatics won’t get any representation unless they coalesce around NZFirst only ensuring his 5% threshold cross.
And the Māori Party would bring in another MP off the list.
The Greens are way weaker than we suspect and ACT will hit 15% as Luxon continues to bore.
What is most amazing is the favourability numbers…
…the Right wing have been popping champagne bottles for two months believing the election was in the bag.
It isn’t.
Increasingly having independent opinion in a mainstream media environment which mostly echo one another has become more important than ever, so if you value having an independent voice – please donate here.

Nats down, greens down, Labour up, ACT up, same dance.
Incumbent PM always shows higher favorability.
Surely if Luxon bores then Act will get a boost, not a decline. Did you actually mean 15%, not 5%?
Looks like woke ALT right wing (non woke, real working class New Zealand, to everyone else) is working for Chippie.

My concern, is it really a push back of woke policy from Labour or just a marketing spin? Can Chippie really stop the woke fantasists and identity separatists and their agenda we have seen pushed through in the past 6 years?
The push back of stupid woke policy, seems to be helping Labour in the polls at any case.
When the roosters come home to roost, and they will, Labour will be lucky to hit mid 20’s (at least if there is a semblance of common sense left in the country).
Why dont you just say that you dont want workers to have payrises?
Did you read Susan St John’s piece about how little the pay increase will mean for workers, once you deduct working for families and accommodation supplement. SFA
Pay rises will cause a wage-price spiral, so yes I am against it. If you increase min wage, guess how McDonalds (for e.g.) is going to cover the costs? And no, they’re not going to “swallow it” because they are a giant multinational corporation making billions. They’re simply going to pass it on with higher price burgers. Local businesses will do the same. Increasing wages solves nothing, because any business that wants to remain solvent is forced to increase the price of whatever service/product they offer to cover it.
Wages cannot cause all prices to rise at once. Even the Austrian School does not believe in that.
If only wages rise, profits fall. If these fall far enough, unemployment rises. Attempting to raise prices eventually lowers demand, and the prices will fall again.
The only thing which can cause all prices to rise is inflation — that is, the increase in the supply of paper currency (once in circulation).
This devalues the currency, as each paper note (or deposit) is exchangeable for less of the hard money stored in the reserves, meaning it buys less goods — and all prices rise.
In a ‘price shock’ or a ‘cost-push’, some prices rise due to expensive raw materials, causing people to have less to spend on other goods. This reduces demand for those items, and their prices fall.
So if we drop the minimum wage to say $5 an hour then all goods and services will drop proportionately right?
This right wing thinking that minimum wage increasing is wrong(Nitrium you try living on the minimum wage) is why some parents should never have bred.
If what you want is what you believe will happen, my advice is buy a Lotto ticket.
Right bloc still sits above left bloc even with the inclusion of the Maori party. At some stage Hipkins needs to do something and still has to sell the 3 waters lemon to middle NZ. Te Reo is doing what Te Reo has been doing all along.
Still the right’s to lose. Wake me up when team left actually hits the front.
3 waters is not getting harder to sell given all that is going on. How people keep banging on about democracy and actually arguing that the very bodies that have royally f*cked up water, at least the water that’s around our ankles, should be retain that responsibility is laughable
Everyone in the Coromandel and Auckland north aren’t laughing about 3 waters now, if ever there was a vote winner, 3 waters is it!
One of a couple of reasons why.

Luxon’s got nothing … I think Nicola Willis is waiting in the wings ready to go.
However that will be akin to rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic.
Constantly whining ,barking at every passing car, without putting up any realistic fully costed alternatives, is wearing extremely thin with the electorate. It’s put up, or shut up, time!!
I’m furiously eating popcorn awaiting his ‘game- changing’ policies that are going to revolutionize New Zealand to be released.
It will be interesting to witness the difference between the proper serious journalists and the amateurs with regard to drilling down and teasing out the ramifications of those yet to be announced policies.
Wait. I just saw your horrible and anti Maori racist tweet. Stop trying to colonise.
Chippie has just given $1 .50 to most workers has to give him a boost .I know he said just minium wage workers are to get it but all other workers will demand a boost as well other wise it is not fair. How the weather event is handled will decide his future. Key and Brownlee did a great job in Chch and we’re rewarded for it ..Hipkins and Wood could do the same . I hope for the countries sake they can.
Brownlee did a great job in Christchurch? From memory there were a lot of residents that thought otherwise
He got voted back in by an increased majority. There were mistakes made but concidering the scale of the event that is understandable. EQC was run down and not up to the requirements needed. They improved with the experiences learnt .Kaikoura earthquake was dealt with much more ease .In a situation like the earthquake or recent floods some are bound to feel hard done by and that is a shame .
He got voted back in by a right wing electorate. They saw the wisdom of their ways last election, as Brownlee rested on his laurels.
It’s well known in Christchurch that the residents of Fendalton are slow to react but react they did with Gerry losing the electorate vote in the 2020 election. It was the $30 or more billion of reinsurance money that came to Christchurch that did the work, the city is still waiting for the promised stadium along with other items that National promised but could not work out how to sign a contract for.
I agree Wheel . Brownlee, Key et al were well out of their depth and not morally worthy of being in charge.
A lot of people got shafted and thrown on the scrap heap through no fault of their own due to their poor morals and lack of management skills.
I keep wondering if Brownlee is the answer to Luxon. He at least is a politician that can walk the walk much as I dont like his values. He is an old school politician in the ‘safe hands’ mode that many on the right are looking for. Brownlee and reti? Penk or Erika. maybe Willis.
I wonder if the Nats have polled this?
On Saturday 14th October 2023 I will party vote DemocracyNZ.
Even Winston and NZF are looking good ?
