#Clip: My Final Word: The MMP Strategy That Could Blow Up National
This week, Martyn has a warning about what could happen at the 2026 New Zealand election — and why MMP could produce a very different National–ACT–New Zealand First government.
Right-wing influencers are promoting a tactical voting strategy: candidate vote National, party vote ACT or New Zealand First.
Martyn argues that if National loses electorates while its party vote falls, the resulting MMP mathematics could have major consequences for National’s list MPs — while simultaneously giving ACT and NZ First considerably more leverage in a second coalition government.
What happens to Christopher Luxon’s ability to control David Seymour and Winston Peters if his own National team is weakened while his coalition partners become stronger?
As Martyn puts it:
“Expect three times the crazy and five times the social carnage.”
The election is coming. Understand how your two MMP votes work — and make sure you’re enrolled.
National are the least of our problems .The problem is the other two hate parties that they jumped into bed with ,who now run the country .Luxon should be tried for treason for allowing the puss to flow and destroy NZ as a society .National as we know are a bunch of light weights feeding on revenge and allowing the other two lunatics to run the asylum .In all of my 73 years I have never seen NZ so divided as it is now .We have hatred for brown ,gay and female members of our society .They are now joined by working people who can look foward to their wages being cut .Women had their rates slashed followed by a silence .After seeing how the population reacted they have now decided we may as well go after the rest of the work force because no one gives a fuck because they think they will not be affected .Well if I was an employer I would be as worried as fuck if this plan ever came about .Because if my work force have their income slashed ,who is going to buy the product I sell ?.As Willis has found out ,slash and burn ,soon destroys the income for the whole country .Her policies have reduced the government income and raised the cost of the debt she is creating faster than the last govt who had an average of 3% growth every year for 6 years .I dont think this government has had 3% growth total for the last 3 years .I have been doing a lot of commuting over the last 3 months and NZ is in big trouble looking at the reduced traffic on the state hiway .
