Wet Gallery. Dry History.
Hager drops a mystery book Tuesday. Gallery sells destiny. The poll charts from 2002 to 2020 say noise. Agitprop in a journalist costume.
Polling
Giant Douche. Turd Sandwich. Take Your Pick.
Every leader underwater. Luxon worst at 54/25. Hipkins ahead on seven of eight. Ardern still the only net favourable figure. South Park already named the ballot.
He Wouldn’t Say The Number. Now We Know Why.
Hipkins sold an above-30 comfort blanket and would not read the figure. Anacta just printed Labour 31, National 30. Show me the numbers. He had them.
Hung. Both Under Thirty. Still Demanding Your Party Vote.
Both majors under 30. Hung Parliament. National still wants your party vote while it buys zero list MPs.
Still No List MPs. Still No Answer.
Both majors under 30. National 135k short of one list MP. Still selling two ticks blue. The honest National vote is electorate vote National and party vote ACT or NZ First.
