Election 2023: Labour crashes to worst result in 6 years in 1News Verian poll
Looks like the Chips are going get thinly sliced, diced and well shredded by an unforgiving NZ Public who are now well awake to having been "Dropped In It" by a clueless Labour trying their luck to BS all again

And its all down to Ardern. Labour needs to be burried for a very, very long time.

Roll up, roll up - TAB Australia paying $3.75 for $1 bet on Labour/Hiopkins win in October 2023!
https://democracyproject.nz/2023/08/...ur-government/
Australian TAB is offering bets on our election outcome, and the odds they are offering are quite instructive about what might happen.
At the last election, the bookies gave National very long odds – paying about $5 for every $1 bet on National winning, whereas they were only offering Labour bets $1.16.
This time around, bets on National winning the election and forming a government are paying out $1.25 for a $1 bet,
while the TAB is offering $3.75 for a Labour win.
It’s hard to disagree with those odds. Although the Australian TAB is promising a big payout to anyone successfully backing a Labour win, it’s unlikely that you’d find many in Labour willing to take that gambling bet.

Political Round-up: Is it now all over for the Labour Government?
Labour appears to be in something of an electoral death spiral. The four-point drop in last night’s 1News Verian poll to just 29 per cent - together with National’s bump up to 37 per cent – suggests that the gulf between the left and right blocs is now opening up, and will be difficult to reverse.
Perception is going to be a big part of Labour’s problem. When a party in government drops into the 20s just weeks out from voting, the psychological effect can be huge. It will affect both voters and politicians. Increasingly, the public will not believe that Labour can win this election. Such a mood will risk becoming a self-fulfilling factor in the campaign.
Just as “success begets success”, for Labour, a poll result like this will threaten to fuel a further deterioration in support below 29 per cent. It shapes the whole mood of the campaign, sapping momentum and motivation for those on the Government side. What’s more, when a party is losing, the despair can cause infighting and panic, which just makes everything much worse.
In this regard, Herald political editor Claire Trevett says today: “ Hipkins’ trouble is that once the polling starts to slide, it is very difficult to reverse it. It is also very difficult to hold on to the discipline, unity and enthusiasm that are needed to reverse it.”
Hope no-one stole the Curtains to Close the Show, while Ardern was busy puffing out untold feel goods before a rapid exit
No-one would really want to see the fill-in replacement Skoolmaster getting a caning - would they ?
