The numbers suggest that the coalition, comprising National, ACT and New Zealand First, would secure enough seats in Parliament to form a government, despite a slight decrease in overall support.

National’s 38 per cent share of the party vote, alongside the support for ACT and New Zealand First, brings the coalition’s total to 64 seats in Parliament. This outcome indicates a potential continuation of the current Government’s tenure, with New Zealand First surpassing the five per cent party vote threshold, which is crucial for the coalition’s stability.
On the other side of the spectrum, Labour has seen a slight dip in its party vote, dropping below the 30 per cent mark again to 29 per cent. The Greens and Te Pati Maori also experienced minor decreases in support although not affecting the overall balance of power in the political landscape.

In terms of preferred prime minister, Christopher Luxon maintains a small lead with 23 per cent of respondents favouring him for the top job. However, Chris Hipkins has gained ground with 18 per cent support – God knows why – perhaps indicating that Luxon is like gluten-free bread and even Hipkins may be better. I still hold the belief that Luxon is holding National back.
The trend, though, is steady as she goes but by now National should be polling in the 40s and the Greens should be obliterated by their rolling maul of scandals, which just goes to show the number of stupid people in the electorate remains at alarming levels.

"I still hold the belief that Luxon is holding National back." Yes Cam, you are not alone in that belief. If anyone was ever in a position to show true leadership and take this Country forward it would be this man but his assimilation into wokedom will scupper any chance he had of that. In his position, I would be learning as much as I could from Winston as that is the partnership that could really shine, not the one that IS NOT mentioned in the Treaty Articles yet spouted from PM Luxton' lips.
As to the number of "stupid people" - trying to understand why people seem so gullible and act like lemmings on the cliff edge - well that needs a better analyst than me to fathom.
1% voted for ms ardern as preferred pm - the same person who gave us all the middle finger to fill up her tank at usa!!! assuming 2M voting population in NZ, that's 20,000 lunatics that fled an asylum :(
