Labour's surge under Jacinda Ardern has us all talking about Labour vs National - who's in front. This discussion seemed inconceivable just 2 months ago, and it is a sign how far Labour has come! Maybe Labour is ahead, maybe it's National, rumour is that…

I'm voting Green. It would be foolish not to. Without The Greens, there will be no change. Labour alone cannot carry the mantle that has to be borne for all our sakes. Labour/Green is the way forward and is being offered to us right now. Lifting that pairing…
