Also on my Patreon (paywalled), I have done my own personal choices for MPs of the Year in the following categories:

• Te Pati Maori MP of the Year
• NZ First MP of the Year
• ACT MP of the Year
• Greens MP of the Year
• Labour MP of the Year
• National MP of the Year
• Overall MP of the Year

These are not always based on whether I agree with their policies or actions, but how effective they are for their own party’s supporters and voters.
