If National wins ...

Watching closely what Luxon does with Dr Shane Reti - unquestionably one of the most respected MPs, if not the most, currently in Parliament.

Play this one right and there will be huge upside to National.

No doubt he's a bright boy. With his qualifications he could do your books, sort your GST and examine your gonads all in one appointment. But a savant??? Not sure about that.

He'll need to stay in as a diversity token. Unless Bridges is given a good role.

Another post for mindreaders. Who will?

You must be thinking of the token browns in Cindy’s cabinet - Poto(loo) Williams, Kris (invisible man) Faafoi, Kelvin (prisoners first, gangs second & the law last) Davis?

Shane Reti = the whole of Clueless Cindy’s brown cabinet members.

Notice how the self-made, well qualified and intelligent Maoris join National?

Thanks for highlighting the difference, panda.

Last poll (TV1) had Labour at 41% and National at 28%. (13 point difference)
My prediction is that gap will close to maximum difference of 3 points (either way) by first poll of 2022.

Act to be below 5% during the same timeframe?

Eventually reverting to the long term trend of 2%.

Act will stay at 9% or more.

A strong possibility of National getting back to 36%, Labour down to 37% within the next 2 polls.

Let’s hope Cindy continues to push 3 Waters, keep Poto(loo) in her job and the gangs continue to receive plenty of support from this pro-criminal government.

We have a strong economy though (with few corona issues) so unlikely.
