Winston is back, with NZ First on the comeback trial, reports todays NZ Herald.
Labours out he says...
Dont be surprised to see NZF make +5% due to the Labour fallout.
Then Win and Shane may take in a movie together.
In years to come, the saying may not be;
"he rose like a Phoenix from the ashes", but rather
"he rose like a Winston from the Cinders"!

NZ First conference: Shane Jones rejects bias after donation precedes $9m PGF funding announcement
Nice movies on the taxpayer on the score card and now into Diapers ? ;)
Can Jones get any ****tier than this ? ;)
Stick the diapers over your head - Shane -- they will help hide what might be missing between the ears
and keep the things on the side of your head warm ;)
How are all the promised Northland bridges going ? ;)
Perhaps you could also encourage Winnie to dig out all the photos and footage taken
of his much promised trip down to the bottom of the Pikers River Mine, while you're at it :)
With Winston looking like making a come back promoting NZF policy to remove all references to The Treaty from our laws, and ACT pushing a bottom line of a referendum on The Treaty, they are both going hard after the same anti co-governance vote. (And same rural Groundswell vote)
Next polls will be fascinating.
Could prove a headache for National as ACT loses a chunk of voters to NZF leaving National ACT coalition short & needing 2 coalition partners instead of 1.
National won't want to negotiate with Winston. And he would walk all over inexperienced Luxon if they were in coalition together.
Alternatively might be helpful to National if it takes some of the negotiation leverage away from ACT.
Risk on it allows Labour & Greens to come through the middle.
He's competitive with Luxon on facebook likes for his posts despite being a party orientated towards elderly voters.
Easily sweeps aside the millionaire funded Act.
I think you are wrong to a significant degree that ACT and Winnie are going after the same vote. The most recent Roy Morgan poll shows 18.5% of men aged 18-49 and 12.5% of women in that age group, intending to vote ACT.
I doubt many of them would vote for Winston First.
I really think and hope voters have had enough of Winston's grandstanding, populism and deceitful behaviour for the sole purpose of feathering his own nest.

Didn't some poll have Winston First at 4.5% quite recently? Hard to believe, but he's not called Lazarus for nothing!

Winston is one of very few who can publicly articulate an antidote to Labour's race based divisive policies, and their effect on NZ.
That will make him more relevant to voters and give NZ First a new lease of life.
It's not about what just a few of us posters here think, but more how he/NZF resonate with voters during the election campaign.
I'm picking there will be many dispossessed past Labour voters who won't vote Blue so NZF could be their option.
