I was pissed off after the second time Hoskings over talked Jacinda to cut her off.
Then after multiple times just let English rant on and on and on and ……
You get the picture.
In the US elections they actually counted how many minutes each candidate got time to speak.
I bet if they checked this debate, Jacinda only got 30% time and English got 60% and the rest went to Hoskings.
Hope someone can verify this.
The poll that matters, party vote Greens, the only one in the bunch likely to raise concerns of beneficiaries, sincerely that is, if at all:

All I get is that enough now mistrust the government, are frustrated and thinking of change, and that Jacinda has the charm and intellect, and the gift of the gab, to turn things around for Labour.
Whether there will actually be any real solutions and significant change is another question, but people do not always, I argue not mostly, act rationally. So a change of government is upon us, with tweaks at the edges, but little else, as that will harm business and the settings most are stuck in, so more of the same, with a softer touch and new lingo, to make it a feel better government.
I learned nothing new, and nothing I heard or saw changes my vote, anyway.

Bill English et al, do you realise the loss of reputation, and economic benefits, with this going on?
Can’t bring myself to watch these sideshows.
Hosking and Gower just make my stomach heave.
Well our household watched and Jacinda won us over with her nimble but sure footed responses.
Me to, ,just a Punch and Judy show moderated by an arrogant dick head.
