The Insanely Stupid Idea Is Two Ticks Blue
Greens on a record 16 per cent, National and Labour stuck on 28 per cent and Luxon calls the overhang an ‘insanely stupid idea’. The stupid idea is sticking with two ticks blue while the polls sink.
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.
Above 30. Still No Number.
Hipkins says Talbot Mills has Labour above 30. Asked for the number. No number. Show me the numbers.
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.
The Polls Are Wrong About One Nation
The ‘wasted vote’ lie just copped a 89 per cent preference hiding.
Hung. And Hipkins Still Has a Job.
Eight-point lead. Hung parliament. Opportunity at 9.5% and holding the knife. The gallery built the Trojan horse. Labour on 24. Hipkins still has a job.

People Like China More Than the US
It’s not all about politics – Hollywood has its hand in shaping the public view.
Quick Hit: 59, 55 and Six Seats for Wong
Opportunity on 5.3 and six seats. Right 59, left 55. Neither governs without Wong.
Chippy Got National’s Pain. He Still Went Backwards.
Labour got National’s sub-30 gift and still went backwards. Opportunity is the maths problem both majors made.
National’s Boat Anchor Keeps Dragging Them Under
National is currently tracking towards Judith Collins’ territory, or worse, the kind of result Bill English delivered in 2002. Luxon’s enduring legacy may be handing the election to Labour and leaving his party with one of its lowest votes in modern times.
Opportunity Surges as National Stagnates and Luxon’s Personal Brand Hits New Lows
When it comes to preferred PM, voters increasingly look like they are being offered a choice between a Giant Douche and a Turd Sandwich. I will leave it to readers to decide which is which.
Labour’s Trojan Horse Backfires as TOP Surges and Coalition Hangs On by a Whisker
Ninety days out from the election the race remains tight. The coalition clings to a one-seat majority on paper. Labour has lost ground to a party it hoped would quietly help it.
