You don't see that now - progress?
Actually they were mostly in rental properties now made unaffordable by Cindy's housing policies.

Since Key & English, Labour's moved into the middle ground traditionally held by National, leaving National floundering in a small space between the middle & the right - ACT.
Is National a Christian Conservative party or a socially liberal party, a socially conservative party, a party for big business & tax breaks for the rich or cutting Public services & Benefits ? It seems to be all over the place.
Labour voters come from progressives & aspirational home owning urban liberals, (even many farmers) traditional National supporters, who have done very well with rocketing house prices and a buoyant sharemarket.
And Adern extremely popular with women from all socio-economic groups.

Maybe not here though so far.
Really? There has been some change in the UK where “working class” Brexit supporters may have turned to the Brexit promoting Conservative Party. However I doubt a similar shift has already occurred in NZ or Australia. Although, after the Covid response, maybe it will.

Any research to back this change in support?

National is not national anymore too, lots of buying of land and houses by wealthy overseas citizens plus migration.
Then the asset sales which are slowly being gobbled up by American banks.

Who are now in those properties?
I asked you these questions already and I gather you don't have any answers - quick pokes are easier?

Those three countries obviously think their alliance is worth formalising further and strengthening.
