I don’t think anyone believes anything from 1news anymore
Time to start ignoring them altogether
National, ACT, NZ First - they’ve botched the recovery and voters know it. Shuffling the deck chairs isn’t going to change things, fixing the mess is. Labour looking more and more like the safe pair of hands.
To 7.22am: Thanks for a great laugh to start the day. Only a raving marxist would consider Hipkins and Swarbrick a "safe pair of hands." Labour's destruction of NZ under Ardern and her henchmen ( including Hipkins) will never be forgotten.
Anon 7:22 - I wouldn't call Labour a safe pair of hands. What they do have going for them is honesty. They will at least do what they promise. Unfortunately, that involves free stuff for those that can't be bothered trying and taxing those that do. As well as doing themselves out of a job by handing control over to a single race.
If National and the coalition had followed through on just one or two promises they wouldn't be in this position. But they didn't, so why should we listen to empty words again.
Can someone, anyone, who took that poll, explain who the candidates are that they think they are going to vote for to install a Labour Party majority. In my electorate there has never been a Labour candidate who came even close to being elected. Why is that suddenly going to change? Polls are fiction trying to masquerade as fact. Show us the candidates and their credentials and then we can make an informed choice. Until then, it’s just Maiki Sherman blathering about BS.
I would remain anonymous too 7.22 am to reference the last govt as a “safe pair of hands”. The Ardern, Hipkins govt did more damage to NZ than an invading army of vandals. Whilst the coalition is trying to repair the inherited financial damage they have done nothing to repair the Maorification creep or halting the insane net zero damage. I believe this is influencing the polls.
Anon 540am: has someone told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears? A final, most essential command? But only when it is poll results you don’t like the look of?
Anon 946am my guess is that the electorate isn’t happy with what the current government has done with the economy. The sole win the had - inflation coming back down - wasn’t actually because of anything the ACT NZ First National folks did. But even with that, inflation is up up and away again now. So what have the voters gotten from the last 2 1/2 years? More taxpayer money going to landlords? Broken down ferries? Underpaid teachers, nurses, and firefighters? Record high unemployment? Anyone who votes to keep that going needs their head read.
Luxon, Seymour and Peters have shown they are anything but a safe pair of hands. How do we know this? Look at the ruin they are causing with the economy and unemployment, and look at how they are wasting taxpayer money while deferring investment on critical infrastructure. Just plain facts.
I admit I complain about Luxon. It's not really Luxon but the co-governance policies that are the issue.
The alternative with the left-wing is CGT, inheritance taxes and co-governance which are all very unpalatable.
National's lack of spine has got them where they are in the polls. They had a mandate to turn back maorification and blew it.
Anon @ 7.22 am - the unintentional comedian.
To Janine 11 .31: Quite right - and all MPs care only about keeping their jobs in government or opposition. Their interests are self-centred. Nat. will leave all Right voters to face the Left + CG / He Puapua + crippling tax. D-Day is coming.
Kloyd0306 people obviously care more about the economy than made-up culture war nonsense.
Anon@1.45, Kloyd0306 has more insight that you'll ever possess, but then, I suspect, you have a vested interest?
Everyone has a vested interest in the economy.
Anon 9.46: Excellent and obvious point. But as a rule, a dynamic economy needs a harmonious and free society. Struggling economies often have unstable ( or tightly controlled ) societies. e.g. former Soviet Eastern European states , many failed African nations, Cuba. In recent decades, Only China managed to build a market economy while keeping rigid social control. Conversely, cultural marxism seeks to destroy the OECD model - partly by overloading the social protection area which is part of a properly functioning welfare system . e.g. excessive benefits, uncontrolled immigration , unemployment caused by low productivity - easily strains this system to breaking point.
Anons9.46 & 2.32 - true, but some have a more 'vested', i.e. directly beneficial interest, than others. Otherwise, it's a bit like claiming every citizen of New Zealand has "a conflict of interest" in any role requiring impartial neutrality, because with the right to vote they have the ability to influence Parliament and hence the Crown and the rules we live by. So, in effect, surely it's a matter of degree?
