  4. Right on Bomber! This lefty is voting. Chris Hipkins is the Ace of Swords in this motley crew. Mark my words, he will be PM. There is no competition. Zero, zip, nada.

  5. Turnout is king as always. Since first voting at 18 years it always struck me the number of old fuckers at the polling booths with walking sticks, limps, red noses like cricket balls, and latterly mobility scooters and frames. Now, they could have been voting for whoever passed as left at the time, but I would not bet on it.

    Right wingers (young and old) first and foremost have loyalty to their grasping self interest and the boss class.
    NZ society has always been balanced between reactionaries and those that desire a more positive future for the majority. The torys have often just held the balance–but some of that is illusory when you factor in first past the post elections–such as when electorate gerrymandering allowed Muldoon to prevail when Labour and Social Credit won the popular vote.

    Just over 30,000 transferred to the Māori roll for this Election an Electoral Commission worker told me a couple of weeks ago. There will likely be a good turnout from politically conscious Māori. The worry is alienated, transient, determined/lazy non voters, and those too scared to vote as they would like*, of all stripes, will assist the Natzos.

    * Debtors, women in refuge, and others who need or want privacy should be on the unpublished roll–but it is not widely publicised.

  7. Given that…
    … the polls, at this stage, show Labour losing the election;
    … it will take a tectonic-like shift to change that outcome;
    …Labour desperately wants the undecided left-center vote and the lazy left that won’t vote at all (refer above);
    … the poll – “biggest response ever in my five years doing this show”, James Wallace – on RNZ National showing 80% of his listeners would favour a capital gains tax being introduced….

    What if…
    … Chippy ate humble pie (or sausie-rolls) and changed his mind, promising Labour will, at the earliest after the election, introduce a wealth/capital gains tax?

    Then Labour may well bring back the prevaricating, once-left voters to vote Labour again.

    Worth putting out there. Just saying….

  8. Nope. They’ve shown their not interested in my vote and they certainly no longer represent me so fuck em.
    They deserve to go down hard and fast.

  9. Seems that people or should I say the polls show that people are responding to the “noise”

    The “noise” is media and so many are influenced by the constant negative media. There is really positive policy , but the media simply choose to ignore it. PREFU was portrayed negatively until it wasn’t but that didn’t stop the media from allowing Luxon to portray Robertson in a bad light.
    Personally I have examined Labours achievements compared to the negative ” noise” and Labour will get my vote based on their achievements and the history of Nationals lack of achievements during their 9 years.
