Comment:Labour should not rush to judgment
Date published: 12:52 pm, November 28th, 2011I think the Labour caucus should simply be keeping their mouths shut and I'm not a Labour member or voter but do New Zealanders really need to hear from insiders. Annoying.

Comment:Bugger the polls
Date published: 10:07 am, November 28th, 2011In fairness both NZ Herald Digipoll and Roy Morgan picked up the momentum changes. Both showed the rise of NZ First and over the threshold. Roy Morgan had NZ First at 6.5%. Roy Morgan crucially had National below 50% and Labour's vote was very close as ...

Comment:Open mike 28/11/2011
Date published: 8:17 am, November 28th, 2011He's also negative and I'm not sure he could do a positive campaign. Do Labour really just want to attack John Key in 2014 as they have in 2011 and 2008. Do they want to campaign once again negatively rather than positively?

Comment:The rise of the Greens
Date published: 8:12 am, November 28th, 2011I think the Greens and their supporters are a hell of a lot more smarter than you give them credit for. The real problem with the Greens is how broad their support is. Yes its far more likely they took votes from Labour but there were people that would ...

Date published: 3:14 pm, November 27th, 2011Not really. You always get voters that effectively don't listen. Part and parcel of a democracy really and can't be helped. But honestly I think David Parker effectively did get Labour voters to vote Goldsmith.

Date published: 11:57 am, November 27th, 2011I'm a bit shocked by the result personally as I didn't think Nicky Wagner stood a chance.

Date published: 10:32 am, November 27th, 2011Labour also seem to have done better in the electorate vote than party vote. Labour's billboards anyone? Sorry but I honestly thought they were a throwback to National 2002 billboards.

Date published: 10:21 am, November 27th, 2011Goff should wait six months. No Labour candidate have shown themselves to be credible enough to lead the party at this point. Some have potential. My personal opinion is Robertson or Shearer have potential but need a bit more time like John Key got. ...

Comment:Election night roundup
Date published: 1:29 am, November 27th, 2011I don't think the polls were too bad.

Greens a bit overstated but no where ...

Comment:Election night roundup
Date published: 1:02 am, November 27th, 2011I think the left is certainly more harmed by low turnout. The same factor was in effect in 2008 as well. But National too is hurt by turnout and has been hurt by turnout in the past. 2011 has so many parallels with 2002 really except the other way.
