The Daily Blog warned you last month and as early as February that there was the possibility of a snap election.
That reality is finally trickling out to the mainstream media…
Why Peters has stepped up his undermining of Luxon
Greens tighten candidate selection process and preparing for snap election
‘We are ready to go’: Labour talks up potential for snap election
…folks, you can read it here first, or wait for the mainstream media to read it here first and then report on it a month later.
As The Daily Blog argued LAST MONTH, the deep budget cuts in Nicola Willis’ next Budget are so extreme they are panicking NZ First.
There are back channels occurring between NZF and Labour as a faction inside Labour start to panic that the extreme nature of the Māori Party would make including them in any future Government dangerous and a vote killer for Labour.
The triggers for a snap election are all around the budget and the transition of Deputy between Winston and Seymour.
All the warnings for a snap election are beginning to formulate.
The sudden resignations from the Reserve Bank Governor to numerous heads of Public Health, anyone who will be forced to implement the level of public service cut backs has handed in their resignation.
Treasury has warned the Government about the lack of revenue for basic services and the IMF are warning us as well.
The next budget will be murderous because Nicola Willis is far more ideologically extreme than most voters appreciate.
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.
Opposition are in no position for a snap election….if one were held, in the next 2-3mths, the current coalition would be back in for 3 years!
Labour being asked daily ‘would you form a coalition with maori party’?
If the answer is Yes = lose votes
If the answer is No = can’t form a govt
Bring it on!
Labour would need racist TPM and Looney Greens which would turn many swing voters to stay with National
Big surge for Labour coming as in 2020.
No covid scare this time or popular leader.
The scary economy has replaced covid and yes having such an unpopular leader is a problem for National.
National will need racist NZF and Looney ACT which will turn many swing voters towards Labour.
Works both ways doesn’t it.
What’s worse for National is there’s hard evidence for all to see, after the Coalitions appalling behaviour and incompetence since being in power, as opposed to mere rhetoric and sleazy hit jobs in social media on Greens/Māori Party.
AT least the TMP are open about the racism.
Unlike act
Martyn – Interesting idea…but if NZ First/ACT pull this off, they will both lose influence as many NZers do not like politicians doing this.
I agree Nathan. In a shap election all bets are off and National would campaign hard on the idea that only a vote for them could guarantee stability.
No we don’t like it, we want big daddy to come along and make things work for us. We want better!!! Tantrum, name calling, mouths turned down, serious discussion as to how we would do things if we were in power – general conclusion – everyone else is gormless except we in this little group here having drinks of spirits to enliven our fading bodies and spirits. That’s what ‘we’ want and it’s pathetic and gormless. Love that word.
Snap election would result in a resounding win for the Right, the majority are scared of a Left Wing race based coalition.

Our short-term-thinking sheeple will probably end up voting in a National majority to rule us all.
In this climate of chaos, fear and uncertainty, voters tend to support status quo, no matter how horrible it will be for themselves and their descendants.
I suspect, as a species or civilisation, we are actually utterly fucked.
We had it good for awhile, but now the party is over.
Let’s see an early debate between Willis and Barbara Edmonds because Barbara need only say hello and Willis will be off like a shrieking witch . Barbara gets her going every time and it is a glorious thing to see in parliament because the woman who is in charge of finances hasn’t got a clue,she is scripted in parliamenttry question time and as soon as the questions are off script there she blows like a beached whale . She is an awful specimen of a woman politician,and the worse thing is that she has children who will one day see her snide putting down antics of another politician who she obviously actively despises. Bring it on Barbara let the public see what Willis is really like
