• Greens getting ready to throw toys out of the cot

    What do they expect? Labour always shafted them because they rolled over and accepted it. They can only ever be kept in the cupboard when Winston is wearing
    the pants.

    So, who still really believes that a Labour-NZF-Green coalition is actually possible?

    So for National to be defeated, Labour and the Greens will have to win
    enough seats to form a government. While nothing is impossible this
    seems very unlikely.

    This gives National a powerful edge - a vote for National is a vote
    for a stable, full-term government.

    This time before the last election National were polling 52% - now
    they are polling 47%. The Maori party are unlikely to get as many
    seats as last time, ACT is safe with 1, but Peter Dunne may lose
    Ohariu.

    So you are looking at National / NZ First as a stable, full term
    government? Really?

    Cherry picking polls, Dickbot? Sad. But The last election we figured Winston was kingmaker. No difference this time. But to answer your question, of course a Nat NZF coalition is more stable than a Lab-NZF-Grn coalition in which the Greens and NZF hate
    each others' guts.

    This time last election we were gobsmacked and amused by the prospect of Labour
    polling numbers starting with a '2'. Now that's the norm with Labour entrenched
    in the 20's. The opposition is lame and pathetic.

    Labour does, and Greens will like it or lump it. Winston's bottom line
    is Prime Minister role. Labour and Greens will wear that because neither
    of them could provide a leader - so how does Labour, Greens and Winston
    first with Winnie as boss sound? Not impossible.

    Nah, it's impossible. Winston and the Greens are clearly not going to tolerate each other.

    Labour is on exactly the same as at this time before the last

    National is 5% down on this time before the last election, and NZ

    Don't overlook the power of baubles dangled before Winston, and I

    Far more stable than the benefit fraudsters and Labour Rich. Hell the

    even get into parliament if they sink much further :)

    same. Neither is good, but it may be enough..


    Except they hadn't brought in slave labour to help them electioneer Rich
    and the Greens hadn't admitted to supporting benefit fraudsters.

    National is 5% down on this time before the last election, and NZ
    First is up 5%. Peter Dunne has a fight on his hands (again), and the
    Maori Party seems to have given up.


    Yet the majority are happy with the governments performance. Funny how
    this can happen while Rich and Labour are crowing about the governments
    polling is dropping.

    Judith Collins for opposition leader?


    Nope that'll probably be Jacinda or someone who wins a seat. Especially
    if Labour can't make the 23% needed to get Little in :)
