    Agreed, bloody shambles.

    So who are the competents in the National Party in your opinion? It is easy to focus on how bad Labour are but voters didn’t see much in the way of electable talent in the National Party. Most of the talent resigned or was voted out. The stale pale males like Gerry Brownlee and Nick Smith have gone.

    Gerry, Paul goldsmith, Judy.. a motley crew for sure.

    Only 8 out of 35 MPs are women (!).

    1 in 2 voters are women and they will not be too pleased with this next time.

    What's your point Panda. Since woman have had the the vote I presume they voted on merrit. Now they are voting on gender ?

    About the same ratio as the Greens, except they have it the other way around. Is that a problem too ?

    I think it is broadly accepted that younger people tend to support the left wing and that younger females tend to support the left wing than younger men? https://theconversation.com/young-wo...-reveals-95624

    So a National Party having fewer female MPs and fewer younger MPs would seem appropriate for its supporter base.

    I picture the Parties as desserts - the National Party would be a spotted dick, Labour would be tiramisu and the Greens would be a fruit cocktail.
