Poll Shock: National Sinks Below 30 Percent Again Under Luxon’s Limp Leadership
Luxon needs to wake up and start delivering or the party might find itself facing more than just bad headlines. The voters are sending a message and it’s high time National listened.
Why Do They Keep Cancelling Each Other?
They invited anyone who agreed with them to add their names to the letter – and 2,000 academics duly obliged. Who do those witch-hunters remind you of? It’s inconceivable that they genuinely believed that scientific knowledge has no greater claim to being true than Māori mythology.
What Would a Libertarian Society Look Like?
Fairness, justice, freedom of speech, the rule of law, the free exchange of labour, goods, and ideas. We’ll take a little bit more of each to start. We’re not saying utopia will spring up overnight – but it’ll be a lot better than what we have now.
Poll Shocker: Labour Closes Gap, Luxon Sinks Deeper
If the opposition won’t opposition, at least the press is filling the void. But for National, this is a wake-up call. Ignore it at your peril.
It Doesn’t Matter How Many Governments Implode
Macron won’t quit. The French president treated his latest ex-PM like a booty call and now they’re married again.
Luxon and Hipkins Tank, But Coalition Clings On
If Luxon does not turn things around quickly he might find himself on the backbench sooner than he thinks. And for the left, the infighting needs to stop before it costs them everything.
Luxon’s Woman Woes: National’s Gender Gap Spells Trouble
Watch for the war cries from women’s groups soon enough. They will hammer Luxon for ignoring women and demand more female faces in the National caucus.
Chloe Swarbrick: Fresh-Faced Idealist or Shrill Anti-Semite?
She started with promise, yet ended up as a polarising force peddling hate under a green banner. New Zealand deserves better than this performative rot.
Markets Are Good for Society
The moral argument for free markets is backed by solid evidence.
Luxon and Hipkins: Plotting a Grand Coalition to Sideline the Radicals?
If the polls tighten further, don’t be surprised if the grand coalition talk turns into reality. New Zealand politics just got a whole lot more cynical.
