There is a position of Deputy leader of the opposition, as the link @ 11.4.4 shows. Your denials do not change that fact.
Looks like you do not know what you are talking about, alwyn. Nicola Willis Deputy leader of the opposition. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shadow_Cabinet_of_Christopher_Luxon

Helen White won her seat, and she has every right to be there.
I note the govt's site is down for "maintenance"
Your opinion doesn't back up your claim, alwyn. If you had watched Adern's post cab pressers, you would know everyone got a chance to ask a question.
Luxon sounds like he is still on the campaign trail.
"I can remember people complaining that she wouldn't take questions from some reporters and favoured those who gave her good stories" Do you have any evidence?
Of course social media is driven by money, big money and it decides what and who is going to be promoted or not and there are people who are paid to influence social media.
Like the Greens, Labour relies on donations from locals, and generally, the donations are small. "National has received $8.2 million since the start of 2021, followed by ACT on $4.2 million. This brings the total raised by the two parties over this period ...
That's your opinion. Here is another. 'It's outrageous to say Luxon's own efforts got him across the line. He was bankrolled by the richest people in New Zealand...the social media game behind him... bankrolled by foreign money" https://www.youtube.com/...
Peter Davis responded to Joe's view which, imo has a right wing lens to it. From your link. "One of the most striking features is how big money came to the party, much of it in the area of property development where the government did absolutely the right ...
Rob on your posts.

There have been times when Labour lost the Maori seats and won them back, so to claim "Labour will most likely never control the Maori seats again" is just wishful thinking on your part.
John key was losing support. He didn't complete a third term. "Key's popularity plummets to lowest level" https://www.newshub.co.nz/home/politics/2016/06/newshub-poll-keys-popularity-plummets-to-lowest-level.html
It wasn't about the terms of government though. What I said was that Ad's post describes the key government, which didn't specify 'terms' and you are the one making up a scenario about Key that didn't happen.
If memory serves that is very reminiscent of the key National govt's punitive ACC policy. Oops, that was supposed to be in response to Joe90's post.
Key was losing popularity.
It wasn't in comparison to a 2 term government. Who is the deluded one here? I just stated a fact, it is irrelevant that you didn't like it. Unlike you, I am not the one dreaming up a scenario that never happened.
That's the one and Key was losing popularity and resigned two days after National lost the Mt. Roskill by-election.
Describes the previous National-led government.
National refused to measure child poverty. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cck1y6kM5c8 Labour lifted 77,000 children out of poverty. Links @ 5.1.1.1 "She cast doubt on the use of the figure – 480 applicants for emergency housing living in cars – suggesting...
"I heard a story, although admittedly not from a terribly reliable source" So why are you posting a baseless rumour? it makes you appear paranoid.
77,000 children have been lifted out of poverty under Labour. https://www.beehive.govt.nz/release/continued-progress-reducing-poverty-challenging-times https://www.beehive.govt.nz/portfolio/labour-2020-2023/child-poverty-reduction National’s welfare ...

What part of there was a rampant killer pandemic going on that you didn't understand, Belladonna? Bizarre that you're against protective measures to try and save as many lives as possible. Read your link, his parents were sick and he did not receive any ...
"more nuanced one was needed" Such as? Covid19 was a new virus, there was no vaccine for it. Lockdowns limited the spread and saved lives. New Zealand's restrictions during the pandemic saved the lives of about 20,000 people, according to new research. ...
Lockdowns saved lives, Belladonna.
