This one is doing the arrogance thing in the beginning of the second term.
What is a 'term term'?

How is it that I've never heard it said that governments become unbearably arrogant in their third term, if it's 'an old saying'? Am I too young? My observations suggest that arrogance kicks in well and truely in the second term - and destroys them in the third. Not always of course, but often enough and both major parties have suffered from it.

The question is, 'is the govt. holding up in popularity'? I'd say it definitely is, mainly because of Arden's charisma, coupled with Collins' lack of any sort of appeal at all. They'll sleepwalk into a third term which is a sad state of affairs for NZ.
The majority of Labour's ministers are without any talent at all - a bunch of complete no-hopers. National are only a small degree better, but without a winning leader.

Ardern gets 8/10
Robertson 9/10, as does Little and Wood
Hipkins gets 8/10 as does Nash, Mahuta,
O'Conner gets a low of 4/10
Quite a few 7/10
