I have been attacking the manner in which the lazy (and let’s not forget stupid) manner in which the current Labour Party staffers have gone about leaking the internal Talbot Polls BECAUSE the Talbot Polls were telling a completely different story to the Roy Morgan and TU Polls.
The internal Talbot Polls (that used to be leaked onto the Blogs but are now leaked to pay walled News Media) showed that the Left Block was only behind the Right Block by 2 points.
Because of the jaw dropping incompetence of the Labour Party Staffers, this new TU Poll drops and surprises everyone.
It shouldn’t.
National – 34.9% (down 4.1)
Labour – 30.3% (up 3.6)
Greens – 10.4% (down .6)
ACT – 9.7% (up .9)
NZF – 7.6% (up .8)
Maori Party – 3% (down 2)
The country is going to hell in a hand basket and this Government’s naked corruption for their Donor class has shocked most good people.
This Government’s race war starting hatred and contempt has disgusted most good people.
This Government’s anti-Māori, anti-Treaty, anti-environment, anti-Renter, anti-worker and anti-beneficiary agenda horrifies most good people.
Most good people are turning away in shock at what this new Government represents and they want a different politics.
That’s what the TU Poll and the internal Talbot Polls are showing.
Kiwis are good buggers, this Government are a pack of cruel pricks – I believe in the goodness of us as a people over the venal corruption of this Government.
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.
All fucking moot if labour, greens and TPM don’t come out and state all the dirty mine contracts awarded by this corrupt government are null and voided when reelected.
If they don’t I ain’t voting again.
That requires the courage and vision of John A. Lee. The unapologetic socialist force behind the great welfare state that put labour and New Zealand reputation on the world map as innovative social reformers. I like Chippy but so far the only courage that comes within cooeee of Lee, is from McNulty.
Why do you like Chippy there is literally nothing to like at this point. He’s worse than useless and a huge disappointing blank hole, the twin of Luxon.
John A Lee has risen out of my ignorance to a star but though I have many of his books I still don’t know the whole of him. Someone pointed out that it was his determined work that got the state housing through not Savage’s. Though in the end it was Savage sticking in there while tragically terminally ill that got the social welfare package through. So many people have pushed for good over the centuries and we who come after take it for granted. Now I’m old I realise this but think better late than never.
Given how much more we have seen of Kieran compared to Chippy I honestly wonder (and this could definitly be copium on my part) that he’s been privately selected as the next leader and they’re waiting to make it official at the same time as they roll out their tax plan mid next year
That’ll show ‘em!
Vote anyway but I agree with your sentiment 100%
Labour should commit using fast tracking to re-implement any legislation this government repealed with it, it’s time to fight fire with fire!
Luxon is selling up his investment properties -rat leaving a sinking ship? Plenty of sinking ships and almost sinking ferries at the moment. As to dirty mine contracts, we will be left to clean up the mess of bankrupted companies when the market for coal dries up.
yes capital gains tax coming next year
Instead of violently zig zagging from left to right ad infinitum in what is mostly in-house opera, edited by 1news, piling legislation on top of legislation in what amounts to a vast, uninformed echo chamber, perhaps we should look at how to achieve a more direct and transparent government. Anything electronic is hackable so imo voting should be a manual thing. Many doubts are being expressed over the corruptibility of artificial intelligences, the thinking machines which gobble vast amounts of energy while processing data streams from sources ranging from the sublime to the ridiculous, thus the conservative turn against a globo homo government. What I like about your blog, Martin, is the tone of outrage against anything faintly sadistic, which probably renders you human. My thoughts are that the hon.Winston Peters should chair some UN meetings.
Seems like gin clears out the murky places that other solvents fail to reach. Well said gin hag.
Christopher Luxon makes Jenny Shipley look competent and John Key slightly genuine!
This govt has to be the worst and most incompetent in the political history of NZ.
Yep
Yes…totally agree Phil…
Self promoting Luxon continuously talks up a big game, but the reality is, he hasn’t got a fucking clue…self praise is no recommendation.
It’s starting to unravel already and they are only one year in. They have now cut their way into an economic death spiral of which there is no escape.
The only way out would be to apologise to Labour and the people of New Zealand for stating that they are the best economic managers, (which clearly they are not), and admit that, like the ferries decision, they got it all horribly wrong…
Of course ‘group think’, hubris and massively big unwarranted egos will prevent that from happening.
End result…we are fucked!! If people think that if what The Coalition of Chaos has now set in train is going to somehow magically make things come right, then they are sadly delusional.
Power gained through propaganda inevitably ends in….disaster. This government is living proof!
Yep there is a lot of buyers remorse out there, it has to be a one term experiment!
Ill get my knight hood next year and fuck off then .Thats why im collecting all that tax free money ready to fuck off and at the same time we are moving to make money laundering much easier .Modi says I can buy the tajmahal
Ardern (the socialist now accepting a archaic class reward from Mr William Wales) had a super majority and did nothing. Other than Muldoon, Ardern was the worst PM in living memory. She could talk and that was it.
At least she earned hers by showing leadership when shit happened .Try leading a nation through a massive health crisis or dealing with a fuckwitt murdering 50 plus people and a volcano killing 20 plus .
Luxon and mitchel tried to copy her by flying into Dunedin and talking shit then closing down the new hospital then flew to Auckland to give a heroes welcome to a bunch of cowards who scampered home as soon as shit happened .
Luxon is a 3 year old compared to Jacinda .
100%
I never thought I’d be longing for the Key years, but never doubt National and ACT’s ability to race to the bottom
at least Key was a funny bastard – Luxon is just a bastard
Interesting reversal by this polling group.
Could it be something to do with a change since their methodology and ethics are being reviewed.
Wonder if the Roy Morgan poll is kosher.
Even 34% is a disgrace
As long as Labour remains ‘National Lite’ we are going to seesaw between centrist governments.
National ACT love licking corporate arse.
Labour is afraid not to (remember 2020 massive majority = popular support for social change. Initiative not taken because terror Labour is perceived as ‘socialist’.)
I leave the Greens out of this because fuck knows what will happen with them.
Actually TPM is the only party I can see with an agenda capable of restoring a fair society.
You speak truth pardner!
It is funny how you can say Labour were shit when in power with no abuse it is different when others on this site tell the truth.
even Greywarbler agrees with you.
Labour weren’t shit so fuck off, take a dump and reboot your chip
Do you ever have anything useful to say, bot?
Ah Trev at least you have taken a dump
Despite their advocacy for minority identity groups getting shafted – The Greens are the only progressive party worth voting for. I’d like to actually see a hard right conservative Green Party (eco-fascists if you will) to actually tell it like it is and start fucking Conserving the environment
The CoC targets some new group each week with its war on the poor.
Last week it was Food Banks–lots of them had funding withdrawn with 3 DAYS Notice! It was not just well known Butterbean that got slammed. They have downgraded lunches for school kids–though Incel Dave would rather end them altogether, attacked disabled, Respite Care and NGOs that offer a wide range of services, introduced official union busting and denied contractors their day in Court to prove they are employees. I won’t write the whole list.
When I went to our regular slot at Kaitaia Market this morning at 6am, the Awanui carpark was full of older vans next to the ablution block–guess what…these dozen vehicles are home for their occupants. They move on during the day but that is the night time spot.
The CoC is hammering working class New Zealanders and we have to take them on, not just wait till 2026.
Yes tomorrow is sunday so I expect another shit dump tomorrow while the hobits are all asleep .Sunday is the day they dump shit each week last week it was the fast track shit
Yes, the Sunday dumps are getting tiresome. Lux clearly isn’t at church.
He has cleared his sins and ready to rack up a few more
One knows things are really going downhill for National when Damien Grant starts bagging them and his own admission that National is making things worse.

“It is funny how you can say Labour were shit when in power’
I said Labour backed away from being socialist Trevor. I said Labour failed to use popular support. Please do not put words in my mouth.
What do you want the Labour Party to be Trevor? A truly Socialist Party supporting a robust welfare state?
Is that what you want of the National Party and ACT?
Please try to be a little more coherent Trevor.
If Labourccannot prove the socialist dream can work for both workers and bosses who can .
Labour had a once in a voting period to prove it couldhappen .They had no other party dragging them down like what is happening with National now. .They did nothing about tax or helping the poor .They took away the children’s commissioner they tried to grease up to the Maori but did nothing for them they spent a fortune on mental health but normal advances. They had nothing concrete to go to the voters with .It’s biggest move was to offer GST of fruit and veg . They were a waste of space and deserved to lose .The precious St Jacinda could see this coming and baled not wanting their copy book soiled with a failure.
NZ was left in a mess and now National are left to prove the socialist dream does not work
She left for overseas where her daughter would know longer be threatened by the right wing supporters.
yep – a sad indictment on our so called Conservative Party – the only way out of this is to actually modernise our democracy and ban Party politics and donations to candidates – treating Corporations as citizens and giving them rights has to go – I’ve been recharged by The Great Simplification by Nate Hagens – “Tales from the Carbon Pulse | Round Table 11” is a must watch for all rational humans
