You cannot get a clearer picture in Chloe S’s intelligence than in this policy. It is awful. Pure clickbait politics. Even if it is accurate that the supermarkets are making $1m in excess profits per day, that equates to less than 20cents per person per …

I think this is a point a lot of people get wrong or exaggerate. At the last election turnout was circa 78%, so it is about 800k people. But the big point that always seems to escape consideration is that we have a huge international diaspora (circa 1 …

TOP is getting close to 4% in the polls. This could be the year they get 5%.

He should not join. It is nothing to do with us down here in New Zealand. Whilst I hope it works; I wouldn’t bet on the middle east seeing peace in my lifetime….and I am only 30. Side note, you have a very loose definition of invasion if the US incursion …

I am surprised Luxon has lasted this long. He has been walked all over by Winston and Seymour. It will be a fascinating election next year. Regardless of the winner it seems we will continue to have either a weakened Labour or weakened National relying on …

Yes, a Putin apologist through and through. He is still yearning for the days of the hammer and sickle flying over Europe. [And you’re yearning for the ban hammer to come down on you. If you cannot address the Post and only take aim at the Author then, for …

Unless you really struggle at counting, the three-seat change was a result of all special votes, of which there were more than 600,000 in the 2023 election. So yeh I don’t think 55k votes really matters in this context. My line is that I wouldn’t make the …

Surely it disintegrates. But you never know.

It does feel like the dominance not just of National but of Labour as well is fast coming to an end. It would not surprise me in the slightest to see both under 30% in the 2026 election. More people on the centre left are turning to the greens and the …

I wish we could get an independent book (wishful thinking). This latest one will in all likelihood be a critique of Ardern without balance, much like her own autobiography is all the glossy parts.

I have no doubt it will galvanise a part of the electorate and that it won’t be forgotten. But it wont necessarily lead to election outcomes. National won two elections immediately following the mother of all budgets and Key won three elections. A major …

You all seem to be missing the point. The reason for the quality decline is not because it is a multinational delivering it. It is simply what happens when the budget for each lunch was slashed drastically down to $3 from what I think was close to $8. It …

Personally, I don’t draw comparisons between Jago and Golriz. One was an elected member of the house of representatives, the other a high-ranking employee of a political party. Our members of the house of representatives should be held to the highest …

Is it really?. Did you take that view during 2020, 2021 and early 2022 when the government of the time ran all over it. What’s good for the gander as they say.

Yes the victory the Murdoch crew was predicting didn’t materialise. But the reality is Labour and Dan Andrews only won 37% of the popular vote (Nats 35%) in the most labour state in Australia today. He’s become a truly polarising figure in Victoria. People …
