    Rogue poll or not, all the signs point to a tectonic shift in New Zealand politics.
    For a start, the political centre appears to be shifting to the left. Across the past four polls, support for Labour and the Greens sits around 62 per cent. When nearly two out of three voters in a naturally conservative nation support the centre-left, something is going on.

    Correspondingly, as the notional median voter shifts left, parties on the right are being left high and dry. The Reid Research poll put the combined support for National, ACT and New Zealand First at 30.4 per cent, a touch under half the level of support for the centre-left.

    The polling suggests that Collins’s penchant for attack politics is not resonating with voters. She has not been helped by the recent antics of (now departed or demoted) caucus colleagues Hamish Walker, Michael Woodhouse and Andrew Falloon, but the buck stops with her.
    National’s default claim of being the better economic manager also took a blow in the most recent poll. Asked who they trusted most with the post-Covid economy, 62.3 per cent of respondents preferred a Labour-led government and only 26.5 per cent a National-led one.

    Getting well into the dirty politics now - true to form for Crusher.
    She even says that being a lying politician is OK.
    I wonder if they can manage another leadership change before the election?

    Comrade Cindy being the biggest hypocrite and consummate cynical liar.

    Hijab wearing when she knows damn well that it’s a symbol of oppression in some Islamic states.

    Promising CGT pre election and then pulling it when the polls show it as unpopular.

    Numerous times contradicting herself about what is said and agreed with coalition partners.

    Pretending she did not know of ILG affair and then, destroying him after protecting his incompetence.

    The list goes on and on.

    Best actress award coming - in the form of the Nobel Peace prize for wearing the hijab.

    Then, there’s the granting of asylum to the Iranian refugee in specific contravention of agreement with Australia not to allow backdoor entry into Australia (by granting NZ citizenship to refugees attempting to queue jump) even while she puts on a big show of defending NZers’ rights in Oz and objecting to them deporting NZ criminals back to NZ.

    All for show at NZ’s expense to win her future coveted UN job.

    You don't think socialist govt is a problem, then sit back and watch the life get sucked out of our fragile economy.

    That doesn't worry a true socialist - as long as we are all equally miserable, they're happy.

    Socialist or communist? Maybe you don't understand the difference?
    It has been said for a long time that Labour destroy the economy but the facts show otherwise.
    I doubt you will see your delusion.
