Mike Hosking: This campaign has been exhausting

Well we made it... we made it, didn’t we?

Are you as fatigued as I am?

I'm not sure I can put my finger on it, but this has been one of the more forgettable campaigns.

Tim Dower: We're now at the point where the election campaign is limping into a petty bidding war

You know you're getting down to the rats and mice when you've got a major political party promising to change speed limits, if only we'll vote for them.

Now I'm not saying National's wrong about a lot of those 30k zones especially, some of them are probably really daft but others might make sense.

I guess the point is we're down to fairly trivial stuff now and the election campaign is limping into a petty bidding war.

Mike Hosking: Week two of the campaign

Week two of the campaign has come and gone - so who are the winners?

Well, if you go on polling alone, it's the new Government of National and Act.

But if you believe that this campaign counts, if you believe that these events and stunts and announcements count for a lot, then there is still much to play for.
