Newshub Poll – Labour & ACT soar
Labour – 42.7%
National – 26.9%
ACT – 16%
Greens – 7.2%
Māori Party – 2.1%
NZ First – 2.5%
As TDB has pointed out since 2020, ACTs is not a fluke, it represents a seismic shift in NZ Politics.
The latest TV3 Poll highlights this.
After months of terrible press coverage, Labour are still soaring in the Polls. That’s gratitude for the Covid response and says the political centre aren’t leaving Labour.
ACT are soaring because they are seen as the right wing values party.
The fact that a hard right Party like ACT are currently on 16% is the 10000 pound albino gorilla in the room which the woke won’t mention for fear of alienating an overweight pigment challenged mammal.
ACTs policies are so fucking far right that they endlessly fly in circles.
Let’s remind ourselves of ACTs more crazy shit…
- Cut and freeze the Minimum wage
- Interest back on all student loans
- No Kiwsaver subsidy
- Cancel winter energy payment
- Dump all climate crisis legislation
- no more best start payments for families with new borns
- cut welfare payments
- no tax credits for research and development
- cuts to working for families
- $7b a year cut in public services
- Abolish Maori seats
- Abolish Human Rights Commission
…THAT is getting 16%!
Sweet Zombie Jesus.
ACTs stratospheric rise in the polls started – LIKE I FUCKING WARNED IT WOULD – when the bloody woke identity politics activists went on their deplatforming rampage and tried to strangle free speech off.
The woke ended up making David a free speech hero FFS!
I warned the woke at the time that all they were doing was giving ACT the ammunition ACT would later use against us, and that picking a free speech fight with Seymour could awaken a dormant electoral fault line that will bite us in the arse.
Once ACT started registering 2MPs, it became a viable political vehicle for the Gun festishists and David’s ongoing performance has made him the de facto Leader of the Opposition.
As National have floundered, ACT have looked stronger and people’s gut political values have done the rest.
The good news is that the center Labour won over will look at a National-ACT Government and freak out and vigorously vote Labour again in 2023.
ACT will eclipse National when the hate speech fiasco takes off next year.
At this stage National couldn’t get laid wearing a banana costume in a monkey brothel. Replacing the leader isn’t enough of a solution.

ACT have to thank the billionaire self interested gods for Judith Collins.
The right have gone full cannibal.
Wow! Look who’s holding their own! With mighty strong and now somewhat seasoned MPs coming through the ranks! The Left has held remarkably! As has our government’s health response to date, on the whole
Most NZers are productive, tax-paying individuals who want a say. ACT wants govt that takes less and spends less. No need to get hysterical about it.
it will be interesting to see the results in a couple of months if the non existent ICU beds are not there as promised .
ACT, the pseudo Liberterian dream team that have never lived the horrors that come with it.
Amen to that.
National and Act also have to campaign on those issues, and their policies on housing are pretty much non existent.
Not just incumbents can lose elections. If Seymour was asked by Tova ” What do you plan to do about housing?” and he said “I’m going to let the free market sort it out”, he would be treated like a leper by the media and by middle class mothers through out the nation.
Housing IS the defining issue for middle class NZ, and all National have to offer is Judith saying “We could do it better”, but offering absolutely nothing in ideas. And David saying “The dark Gods of the economy will provide…”, meaning more luxury apartments for the nouveau riche of China to purchase, then lets be serious, there is no way in hell they will win an election. And they are going to be pressed on these issues, and they too will have to defend themselves and their policies.
You might think that having no policy on the matter might be an advantage, but it is the reason why Judith looked weak in the debates, having failed policies mean that at least something is being tried, having no policies looks weak. And cynical.
‘Elections are lost not won.’ What nonsense and an insult to voters.
and especially insulting to Bill English…
Who are the silent ACT MPs? Why are they and their leader not being questioned about policy by the media?
