Two burning desires for Winston. So I'll concede. Next govt. will be Labour/Greens/NZ First with Peters as PM. Not good at all for the country, but it'll be amusing to say the least.
Probably as amusing as the Trump presidency. Nothing will get done but the country will turn into the laughing stock of the world. I am pretty sure Trump will support Winston.
However - as funny as it might be, I still hope we can save the country from this disaster in the making ...

The country will be saved by a change of government - have a look at this commentary on John Key's abdication speech.

Obviously - still better would be to come up with a positive forward looking plan for the country, but we probably shouldn't overestimate their capabilities ...

I have least in common with Mana, Aeotearo Cannabis, Maori, United Future and Greens. Not really a surprise !! But ACT was 70%, National 69% and NZ First 59%. Interesting. ACT basically strong due to electoral views

Rod Drury tweeted the quiz says he sides with National - spose quiz has some credence then.

Here are my results ...

Not very helpful, but the people calling me hard right (westerly) or hard left (Craic) can find some inspiration ...
but than ... I typically support ACT, National and (sometimes and a long time ago) the Greenies - adding all of them up makes 166% - this is how it works? Right?

Interesting. I was Act, then National but what really surprised is TOP was third but a fair way back..
P.S. Reason I was surprised with TOP being third is I would not consider voting for their policies.
