Labour’s Party List over/under rated rankings
Labour have released their Party list and there are no real surprises.
Labour will be lucky to hit mid 30s in terms of Party vote, but will only get there if they have more in the tank than just removing GST off fruit and vegetables.
If they have meaningful policy, they can hit the mid 30s, if they simply limp to the election with just GST off fruit and Vegetables, it’s all over rover.
People have waited 6 years for the transformative policy Jacinda promised them, Chippy has moved to ‘Bread and Butter’ politics but if all that means is just GST off fruit and vegetables, no one will be able to buy any bread or butter.
There will be a host of marginal electorate seats Labour won with the giant red wave of 2020 that will all be up for grabs as well.
Here is the Labour list with TDBs Underrated/Overrated rankings.

If Labour can not bring some major policy concept to the table, they will have the election to National and ACT, and that’s when the real anger at the political left should erupt.
Ruling out a sugar tax is another swing and a miss from a timid Prime Minster not prepared to do anything.
Chippy’s brittle caution is winning him no friends.

Who of the top thirty are in which faction? And who out of the top sixty supported Jeremy Corbyn ans Bernie Sanders?
Chris Hipkins, the man who killed the wealth tax, ‘Underrated’? Really?
Pretty audacious to have a list of 76, be lucky to make it to 15, probably much less
McAnulty stands a good chance of unemployment and playing fast and loose with the democratic principle of one person one vote, he deserves it!
Yesterdays men, Wood and Twyford should have resigned, times up gents! Both their reputations are trashed permanently and neither have anything to offer. The future Labour caucus cannot afford to carry dead wood like this pair, in fact it simply must distance itself from the 2017 2023 disaster it became and both are reminders with a radioactive half life that wont stop giving to the new government. Their safe-ish seats should be given to bright new prospects who actually have a future in politics and something positive to contribute rather than clinging to a bloated salary to pay the mortgage, or share broker!. But it sure as shit beats the dole playing amateur MP’s doesn’t it without a trace of dignity between them. I have no respect for self serving creatures like this.
But honestly, a clean out of many of these chumps will be a good thing if Labour can give itself a thorough top down overhaul including candidate selection processes!
They could promise free kittens and they would still be gone.
How many of these will make it into Parliament? “Heaps” says Chippy.
Yahoo News:
In another marker of doom for the incumbent government, a record number now feel negatively about the future, with 29 per cent putting New Zealand on the right track, and 60.5 per cent on the wrong track.
Mr Hipkins remains chipper about his party’s chances, offering a one-word answer on Monday when asked how many MPs he would have after the October 14 poll.
“Heaps,” he said.
ROY MORGAN NEW ZEALAND JULY POLL
National – 33.5 (up 3.5)
Labour – 26 (down 4.5)
ACT – 14 (down 1)
Greens – 9 (down 0.5)
Maori – 6 (down 1)
NZ First – 5 (up 2)
TOP – 4 (up 1)
Chippy went full shark jumping delusional on that one!
now i’m not endorsing the bacon butty
But there’s really quite something to the way that the dominant Wellington weirdo fruitarian wing that dominates Labour wouldn’t condescend to drop GST on even one component of such a staple, isn’t there?
Perhaps, but at least they’re not proposing Shaneel Lal as Min of Health or Meghan Markle as G-G at this stage.
At first glance this looks like the rankings have been done as randomly as the postie delivers the mail.
At second glance, useless Davis and ruthless Sepuloni up the top defies rational explanation, and raises the question of who’s holding who hostage here, and why. What a shocker.
Twyford only a who. Surely must be overrated.
Next to Hipkins was one of Jacindas main henchmen.
Besides latest Roy Morgan has Labour At 26%. So looks like peeps see them as all overrated.
A sugar tax on the working class is what wet dreams are made of for the Labour middle laptop class who reside in Wellington and like telling people what to do
The tax on smokes is causing ram raids, like we need ram raids for people to get cokecola. Alcohol, gambling, taxed by the fun police. If only Aussie bank profits were more fun we might a have a financial transactions tax!
“…If they have meaningful policy,….”
The trouble is, nobody believes that they’d get it done even if they had any meaningful policies. A once-in-a-generation FPP majority in MMP and they’ve squandered goodwill & indebted future generations to what end? Massive bureaucracies overseeing increasing failures by any available measure in all areas??
Its bizarre that Jan Tinetti and Ginny Anderson both go up the rankings. Both a symbolic of why Labour is in the shit, both former Wellington bureaucracy drones and one who mislead the living daylights out of parliament, that should have seen her gone. But both awful in their portfolios anyway, justice excluded as Anderson will not have time to worsen anything.
Anderson may not make it back if its a bath of blood for Labour come election night, I doubt she’ll hold her seat, but Tinetti will linger, unfortunately. Labour really don’t need her baggage and voters don’t need a reminder of how crap things were under this edition of Labour!
You certainly gto it right about Sarah Pallet never had anythink from her until yesterday
