Latest Roy Morgan Poll highlights why Labour needs an Opposition Summit
Roy Morgan’s New Zealand Poll for February 2024 shows the new National-led Government (National, ACT & NZ First) with a majority of 55% (up 3.5% points from January) with a large lead over the Labour-Greens-Maori Party Parliamentary Opposition on 41% (down 1% point).
Support for National was down 2.5% to 35.5%, but support for ACT increased 4.5% points to 12% and support for NZ First was up 1.5% to 7.5%.
Support for Labour was down 0.5% to 21.5% while support for the Greens was unchanged at 15.5% – the equal highest level of support for the Greens for over a year since October 2022 and support for the Maori Party was down 0.5% points to 4%.
A further 4% (down 2.5% points) of electors supported a minor party outside Parliament, unchanged from January. This includes 2.5% (down 2% points) who support The Opportunities Party and a further 1.5% (down 0.5%) who support other minor parties including the New Conservatives, Democracy NZ, New Zealand Loyal, NewZeal and the Aotearoa Legalise Cannabis Party.
Labour continue to languish because they stand for nothing.
The need for an Opposition Summit in response to this hateful 100 day agenda is needed, it is necessary and it is now!
With Chloe elected as co leader of the Greens and with Chippy seemingly unaware as to why Labour lost, the need for an Opposition Summit as a response this woeful list of hate is needed now more than ever before.
A Labour/Green/Māori Party calling for an Opposition Summit, paid for by the Unions and with invitations to NGOs and leading Left wing thinkers to a Summit to build a unified front against the obscenity of what National/ACT and NZ First have rammed through by misusing urgency.
It’s been 100 days of social carnage!
TDB warned you that this would be a hard right racist climate denying beneficiary bashing Government and lo and fucking behold we have some of the greatest abuses of political power seen in modern times and weird culture war revenge fantasies being rammed through by misusing Parliamentary Urgency.
It’s like Caligula became a libertarian and we’ve all been forced to attend a very selfish orgy where only Corporate Lobbyists get to orgasm.
On the good news side, the ban on phones in schools has actually been really good, so one good thing amongst 99 fucking obscenities seems like a pretty good hit rate for a Government so right wing they make Milton Friedman look like a soy boy socialist cuck.
Labour doesn’t know what the fuck it stands for, the Māori Party are too focused on virtue signalling their own seperate Government and the Greens have been busy with a co leadership vote.
We need them top sort their shit out and actually start working together to stop this outrageously corrupt Government.

In October 23, a Curia poll confirmed that:
“>3:1 voters support the Treaty Principles Bill (4:1 National, 6:1 Labour)”
That’s why there’s no Opposition.
The mandates worked pretty well at suppressing the death toll. Unfortunately for Jacinda it was the miss management of fluehan that harmed more people than the harm caused by the virus which is a pretty weird hook to hang your cap on, Mathew considering the death toll was heavily suppressed. Maybe you just hate woman Prime Ministers
No it didn’t
Are you able to articulate a reason why it didn’t?
Yes
Other than initially when covid was as unknown and thought to have a higher mortality , mandates are never justified for most people and certainly not once subsequent variants were shown to be less harmful and the especially vaccine to not be particularly good at preventing infection.
And the stats being used by a government too stupid to see it’s own hubris and overreach, were wrong:
https://www.bassettbrashandhide.com/post/robert-macculloch-former-pm-hipkins-profs-bloomfield-baker-should-be-held-accountable-for-quoti
“ And former PM Hipkins stated in his Election Concession Speech that NZ “recorded the lowest number of Covid deaths in the developed world”.
It turns out that all of them based their statements on wrong statistics according to an article published today by one of this country’s (and the world’s) highest ranked economists, John Gibson, at Waikato University (he’s a Distinguished Fellow of NZ Association of Economists). Bloomfield, Hipkins & Baker quoted incorrect “excess deaths” indicators that used weekly death counts in the pre-Covid era to extrapolate with a linear trend into the COVID-19 era, without allowance for changes in population growth from the baseline 2015–19 period. As a consequence, Gibson tells me, “the excess deaths indicator they relied on wasn’t appropriate for NZ .. yet these public health commentators carried on making their claims & relying on the inappropriate indicator for a full 12 months after that”. ”
Apologies That should read mandates WERE never justified not ARE never justified because in the case of a worse disease and a more protective vaccine who knows?
It’s going to be very hard to ever mandate people again though after the overreach this time.
(Footnote I was in favour of mandates for quarantine and hospital staff in the early stages, but not as it became obvious we weren’t going to contain it and it wasn’t as lethal and the vaccine didn’t stop transmission)
Matthew politics is not a sporting code. It’s about society and how it rules for all – the Ring that Rules them All, virtually.
Support for National was down 2.5% to 35.5%, but support for ACT increased 4.5% points to 12% and support for NZ First was up 1.5% to 7.5%.
WTF – I am sure this is all made up shit – but by the time we all find out it will be well too late – effen scum – bring on the war!!!
Cell pH ban is good. EV pricing coming down is good. Bishop promising a test Cricket ground for Auckland is good.
& Yes the Green party merging with Labour is good.
