    Have you not noticed Robbo's Election Year Budget only included booby prizes & free tokens ?
    Doesn't stop national promising baby boost, tax cuts for the wealthy, restoring DHBs.

    Or Act who won't let auditors in to check their alternative budget.

    Unfortunately Labour & Greens only manage to throw bucketfuls at B*m Deals which achieve nothing
    but a large hole, huge debt and few if any benefits .. 5.5 years of Labour's clueless incompetence
    not enough pot hole depth attained for Nelsonians yet ?

    As Labour Slogan says - they landed you in it - Chump

    Peters saying he won’t go with Labour is meaningless.
    Somehow I don't believe that will happen. The circumstances now are different 6 years ago based on the fact that we've had the Labour Party run while back then, they viewed it as a time for a change from the long running National Party rule. Most of the things that Labour did do, left such a bad taste in Peter's mouth that he's not going to disappoint his key voters ; the elder / senior category who have a strong tie with an older NZ, a less modern, how I say, all inclusion thinking that puts race before, merit.

    Here in Christchurch, I notice more and more of the Labour Party signage on the fences of people's homes. This tells me that they're ill informed and 'don't know any better'.

    This is highly likely to be Winston’s last run and he will do whatever it takes not to spend his last term (if he makes it) in opposition. I simply don’t trust anything he says

    Expect Winston/NZF to be back in Parliament and Government as they get 6+% of the vote.

    Many who would otherwise vote Labour will see him as the only palatable option.

    I find that those that voted for Labour pre Covid, would still vote for them today. I find the NZF camp is very different to Labour policies and generally, the voters in each camp do not mix.

    I have to say that parliament has never been this boring listening to what passes as "opposition".

    Winne even at his age could bring in the memes and become the "effective opposition".

    I concur that many are as cosy with Labour as they ever were.

    However I'm referring to those previous supporters who recognise the racist divisive side of Labour's policies.

    They can't swap their vote to Green as they are as bad or worse, and would not be comfortable with the Right.

    Hence Winston/NZF.

    Others may choose to abstain.

    A lot will depend on how the players show their cards during the election campaign.
