UMR got closest to the last two election results. Colmar Brunton had National on something like 52%.
Sure enough CV can't wait more than a few minutes to put up a bullshit poll attacking Labour. Do you think he put up the recent Reid Research poll as quickly which showed Labour on 33? As someone who has access to UMR polls this Colmar poll strikes me as ...
'Running dog.' I'll leave it right there.
It seems to revel in being marginal. A bona fide fascist is running for president under the Republican ticket and there are posts boosting the marginal Green Party candidate. It's bizarre stuff.
What has this site become [lprent: A place for authors and commenters to express their views. Whining Ms Grundys with nothing substantive to say (like yourself) and who instead simply drop to being carping critics will tend to simply get their ability to ...
Garibaldi was suggesting deliberately splitting the NZ Labour Party in two. It's utter madness. Change comes gradually in the real world, and anyone who suggests we should tear apart progressive institutions because they're not perfect, rather than reform ...
I rest my case.
The fate of UK Labour under Corbyn should remind New Zealand Labour supporters of the great job Andrew Little has done to hold the party together while building coalitions on the left. It's not glamorous work, and it doesn't always keep everyone happy, but...
I'm constantly stunned by the lack of actual political and economic sense among commenters here. I want to wipe all student loans, I imagine most Labour MPs would want to wipe out all student loans. But left-wing governments can't just magic up money. They...
As someone who has a student loan, actually it does matter what Labour does. You are so far out of touch it's hilarious.
You are actually quite stunning in your relentless negativity. Andrew Little has committed the Labour Party to free tertiary education and is talking about writing off student loan debt, and you have the audacity to question his politics on this. It's more...
You reckon, but with no evidence. Typical.
He's Trump.
Unless you also crack down on speculators, which is also Labour's policy.
Actually the majority of the 50k homes in Auckland will be under $500k as they will be townhouses and apartments. The other 50k homes in the rest of NZ will be around $350k. Read the effing policy man.
And yet every time the Roy Morgan farts you're on here screaming that It's all over for Labour.
I thought Cunliffe was your hero?
Yep. So many lazy, ill-informed but somehow angry people.
That's not how markets work. They can't be managed down slowly. Metiria's policy would trigger a crash. That would likely leave massive injustice for people who've bought their first home and trigger an economic collapse. Voters instinctively know this, ...
Anyone who ignores the threat of Trump and suggests voting for anyone other than Hilary - for all her clear and present faults - is utterly deluded and is complicit in Trump's rise. This is unbelievable stuff, and shows how far the standard of analysis on ...
Political suicide. Not so much for the Greens, but for Labour by association. [your comment appeared in less than a minute from me putting up the post, did you even read it? If you want to be critical of the policy or announcement, then make an argument. ...
You probably entered your address incorrectly.
Who says they won't? Little and Robertson have said they will announce their tax policy before the election, and that it will likely mean the rich paying more. You do realise you can't launch a formal, costed tax policy before the Budget preceding an ...
You would have heard that if you'd been at the last party conference.
I got the same email with the same speech. He talks at length and with passion about how poverty is inexcusable and won't be tolerated under Labour. This is basic Saul Alinsky stuff - unite the poor with the middle against the very rich. It's good left ...
Report was from the Parliamentary Library, so if Joyce thinks it's wrong he's essentiall saying most of National's research is unreliable too. The guy is a joke.
This has been on Labour's website for months: www.labour.org.nz/tppa
In NZ we seem to have fallen into 3 term election cycle pattern. Pretty much no matter how bad (or good for that matter) the government is, they will get 3 goes. Elector patience begins to ware thin on the second term, hence the the popularity of an early ...
Thing is they don't actually have these ideas. Look at fibre to the home, a no brainer really for anyone who'd properly studied it, but Labour refused and refused and pursued expensive programme of unbundling and regulation and then refused and refused ...
What would Rod Donald do? Let's make some WWRDD bracelets.
Sadly, I don't think anybody cares. I'd be keeping my fingers crossed that GB does something so outrageous with these powers that he costs National the next election. You know, things that matter like corruption. But unless it somehow involves sex, rugby ...
