Newsroom says polling data hint at a record election performance from NZ First. They reflected back to 1996 when the party registered as high as 29 per cent before settling back at 15 per cent. I would not be surprised if NZ First hit that target this time or surpassed it.
The ship’s GPS needs recalculating to a different direction so tracking is improved going into the election. Will this happen? I guess time will tell. The ball is in Luxon’s court.
In my view, Luxon and McClay have done the best they could and probably better than most, if not all. We cannot afford to shut ourselves off from the world’s biggest global markets.
It’s time they re-evaluated their strategies, their behaviour and their policies. Otherwise their chances of ever winning an election again are slim.
I wish Mr Impey the best of luck, but he’s taken on Mission Impossible.

In economic speak, nothing is free. This is a lesson the left appear incapable of learning. Barbara Edmonds’ economic baking will be a recipe for economic pain not economic gain.
We don’t want the racists in the driver’s seat or even the back seat. Preferably they should be given the boot – quite literally.
The truth is there are no free lunches, no free fees at universities, no free visits to the GP and no free bus or train rides…but there are free elections. On November 7 make sure you don’t vote for this type of idiocy.
I give Nicola an eight out of 10 for her budget. She kept the confetti in the box and the rabbits in the hutch.
If they are unhappy about it then they should sing for their supper elsewhere.
The public want action. It is beholden on this government to deliver it.
The only way Winston can continue to make gains is by staying with the present coalition. Therefore my bet is the coalition will be re-elected and Winston will play a part.
Chris Hipkins believes we don’t really care about the details re the Future Fund. What an abjectly ignorant little prat! This is one of his party’s cornerstone policies yet he expects that we will blindly vote for it because we are supposedly not interested in the details.
