Can’t really blame Winston for hedging his bets which way he will go at the next election. It is obvious that voters will swing from right to left and vice versa at the drop of a hat.
Winston Peters’ history of crisscrossing the parliamentary floor shocks some, but may be to NZ’s advantage in 2026. He knows both parties and knows them well. He knows their strengths and foibles. He knows many in both main parties are woke and could fit into a uniparty. He also knows exactly where the bodies are buried and won’t be fooled. He will not let activists outwit him, especially those of Te Pāti Māori. He has clout, experience and a regained respect as the country’s foreign minister.
Voters concede they are delighted with the way he calls out the thoroughly biased mainstream media. He will remain steadfast and bring traditional values with him, whichever way he goes and Kiwis can be sure he will always remain smartly dressed. Kiwis who don’t like him, appreciate his charisma and professionalism as he represents the country abroad.
Traditional American voters overwhelmingly swung back to the Republicans and voted for Donald Trump. It was obvious that Donald Trump’s electioneering strategy was geared towards the male voter. They saw Trump as a symbol of traditional values and one who will give them opportunity to do well. He is a leader who is forthright, welcomed an interview with rugged Joe Rogan, talked big on the economy and let loose his tough brash persona while expressing an extraordinarily large vision for the country he loves.
Trump’s presidential election victory showed a move towards a more conservative US. His attributes have a measurable appeal to male voters. He gained an increase in support with younger men, especially Gen Z, by a margin of 10–15 points nationally (Pew Research). He tapped into what conservative Americans want: no more woke stuff taught to children in schools, bringing back manufacturing into the US to support hard-working business owners and closing the border to money-draining criminals that walk unchecked into the country.
It’s already time to watch the NZ parties pull away from each other and make tweaks of difference.
At the last election, Winston’s experience shone through with his 30-second media video. The veteran’s masterful advertisement, “This is Not my First Rodeo”, positioned NZ First as a battle hardened, rugged and straight-talking no-nonsense party. And, much to the disgust of the DEI proponents, it was deliberately ‘masculine’. It immediately went viral, amassing over 100,000 views in the first week of release.
The question still remains. Will NZ First again be the handbrake they claimed they were in the past, strong enough to rein in the more liberal MPs? Or perhaps the skilled negotiator will be awarded an even more senior role around the cabinet table in 2026? New Zealand needs a government whose policies have an overall perspective – a broad view. The leaders need to be strategic and have a high level of skill in dealing with complex issues and the economy here and abroad.
The big picture vision is urgent for the betterment of all New Zealanders.
Will this horse-riding, dog-loving Māori politician appeal again to conservative Kiwis? Will they reward Winston Peters, Shane Jones and his party with a bigger slice of pie in Wellington? Unquestionably he is the most experienced leader, who knows how to govern and has the inside knowledge to clear out any nonsense from either party.
