One Picture
There’s a big difference between mediocre electoral conjuring and genuine political magic.
Election 2026
Proudest Legacy. Selective Memory.
They invented the scheme, waited for National’s homework, forced the boss, softened the worker and skipped the cut they cried about.
Wind It Up Or Make It Binding.
One side wants a finish line. The other wants an unelected veto. Wind it up or watch them put it above you.
Labour Crashes and ACT Surges
Two more polls that replicate the results of Taxpayers’ Union-Curia could spell the end of Hipkins’ leadership.
Stickers For Gaza. Silence For Hamas.
Hipkins would sanction Israel, bless Palestine and skip Oct 7. Campaign piety is not a foreign policy.
The Writing Is on the Wall
If you think the current coalition leaves a bit to be desired, wait till this lot take centre stage. It will be a circus the likes of which we’ve never seen before. I would go so far as to predict our country could well become ungovernable.
Promising the Cuts They Already Failed

Hipkins says Talbot Mills has Labour above 30. Asked for the number. No number. Show me the numbers.
Vote For What You Don’t Want.
Personally, I am in no doubt that this is the method we should employ. It doesn’t really disadvantage National as they are the largest party in the parliament. What it does do – and this is important – is give ACT and NZ First more clout when it comes to post-election negotiations.
Quick Hit: Scrap Net Zero. Keep The Jobs.
Virtue targets don’t cool the planet. They cool the factory floor.
