Funnily enough Mike I mentioned on here a little while back about how I had never been contacted about any of these polls.
A week or so later the phone goes & guess who??
Forum spies perhaps .Who knows .

Be careful mate..... @Inruin has given your details to Atlas

New rumors doing the rounds. NZ Labor getting the knives out for the Greens.

And Winnie back in fine form. It’s like it’s 2005

many voters switch between Labour and the Greens so can see this happening to strengthen up their numbers, stop people moving right and distance themselves from them after the last few weeks.

Interesting but I can't really see what the government has done to rise back up in the latest poll or what Labour has done to fall so far.

Also have to confess that I was contacted (for the first time) by the polling company to participate in this poll but my "vote" wouldn't have contributed to the "change" in the direction of this poll.

Coalition back on track after months behind Labour

Labour has been squeezed in a new poll, while the minor parties have gained support.

I'd imagine it is more a case of votes leaving the left side of the ledger, and needing somewhere to go, as opposed to a magnetic draw from the right

Helen’s husband making veiled posts about the German greens. I wasn’t aware of that rabbit hole until recently.

Factional War!

I had a guy ring up this week about a survey.

Was about to tell him where to go because I don’t have time to waste and luckily realised he was actually a surveyor going to do a site survey for a Subdivision project

No wonder the polls are skewed.

I said a few weeks ago anecdotally there’s more positivity out there at the moment.

Inflation under control, interest rates dropping, the longest recession in 30 years officially finished.

Love ‘em or hate em these were the big issues that we voted National in to sort.

Ps Nobody cares about free school lunches being cold, like I’ve previously said - it’s all about the economy.

90% of submissions against a treaty principle bill from a select committee, and Seymour wants to take to a referendum. Will be interesting to hear Luxon’s view since he committed to it not going past a first reading in the house

I deal with a cross section of businesses and for what it's worth they are finding it tougher than 12 months ago. A slight lift over Xmas but really tough right now

Will be interesting to see how Seymour copes with national and NZ first voting it down with him mentioning taking it to a referendum. Hopefully he can accept that there’s no appetite

Can you highlight some of National’s policies that have directly led to reduced inflation & getting us out of recession? I reckon it’s just a typical economic cycle moving through its different phases. Btw I’m still not hearing a great deal of positivity out there. Things still going backwards.

Pulling back on government spending has helped bring inflation down quicker IMO (out of recession not so much). It's interesting, I read an article the other day that Andrew Little said they overcooked the economic stimulus which pushed inflation up. A lot of other countries got it wrong also.

He will find positives. Nothing surer
