And they call it democracy? Would prefer STV.
What happens if NZ 1st don't make it? Serious question Who is better off?
Updated enrollment stats released today http://www.elections.org.nz/research-statistics/enrolment-statistics-electorate
I predict: National steady. Labour up by 1% Greens up by 1% NZ first hammered down to 4.5%
And the media keep chanting...Hosking in granny Herald...that the Greens probably won't make 5% and voting for them could be a wasted vote. Pushing pushing pushing to keep the Green vote down. Gower has shown some integrity.

Jacindas out door speech to the masses (and there were quite a lot of us on this raw blustery New Plymouth day) was received well by a wide range of ages. Half way through I heard singing and chanting getting louder and I feared the worst..a bunch of ...

Stuff.co is running a very unscientific poll that shows national ahead. I gave my click to Labour but it looks like a few more clicks wouldn't go astray to change this flawed poll. https://www.stuff.co.nz/national/politics/96897026/were-curious-who-are-you...
My National friends (they think I'm slightly demented LOL) are worried. They are talking about generational change as their children are ignoring the families favoured party for the first time and voting for Jacinda. Not Labour (or the Greens) but Jacinda....
Trumps message to fight Climate Change should suit National "we’ll be discussing our plan for dramatic tax cuts and tax reform. And I think now, with what’s happened with the hurricane, I’m gonna ask for a speed-up… I wanted a speed-up anyway, but now we ...
For those that are worrying may I please repeat a poll that I placed on another thread here 4 hours after the last post so I doubt it was seen. Muffin Break's coffee bean nationwide poll has Labour ahead. About 60,000 a week contribute to this poll and in ...
The poll that for 5 elections has correctly picked the next government picks Labour...so far. http://www.nzherald.co.nz/national-video/news/video.cfm?c_id=1503075&gal_cid=1503075&gallery_id=181674

Just rung by Curia...we are popular tonight!
Yep I looked...she said only 6% of farmers use irrigation.......
Thanks for that. The Wikipedia chart certainly shows the trend. Unbelievable that this poll would go against the trend showing.
Maybe it's time to go negative to counter Nats negative campaign. Theres a lot of suffering going on in this country that needs to be brought out into the light. Positivity can only go so far. This is a war and those bastards have to be stopped otherwise ...
Could help the left in a reverse way. This sort of poll will make voters wavering between The Greens and Labour swing their vote back to the Greens and get Greens back into the race. Labour has dropped 1.6% and the poll is probably a rogue one anyway. ...
Bit of a worry.
"Mummy I'm scared."

http://insights.nzherald.co.nz/article/2017-election-forecast/ Labour is projected to gain 22 seats to end up with 54(±2) seats, with National, projected to be at 48 (±2) seats. To form a government, a party or coalition needs at least 61 out of 120 seats,...
Didn,t the Donald win his election by doing something similar? Waiting for Joyce to start calling Fake News at the news media any moment.
At least the Superannuation fund will start to be funded again if Labour get inwhich will help in the future. JK stopped funding it despite the fund going from strength to strength. The lost 9 years would have made a big difference.
