    And this isn't intended as a criticism of National but just curious why you express such strong views that National was so great but Labour's been a disaster. (& no need to mention Kiwibuild again, which agreed has been unable to solve the existing housing problem.)
    Ok, let's take a step back and allow you the benefit of explaining what Labour has actually delivered against the huge promises they made to win 38% of the vote in 2017.

    National, Act : 45%
    Labour, Green + top/mp= 47%

    The elected opposition to the national party in 2017 = 55%

    Good call - remember reading post the 2017 election that a columnist explained to the silly Nats who don't seem to understand MMP after complaining that the Nats won the 2017 election (you still hear it too) about those mathematical aids we used in the primers - Cuisenaire rods. You get the red, green and black rods and join them together and they are longer that the blue rod - pretty simple. And the Nats conveniently fail to recall that Labour got more votes in the 1981 and 1978 elections...

    Class A garbage as per usual from those who back Comrade Cindy & her team of incompetents & non-performers.

    https://www.electionresults.govt.nz/...nresults_2017/

    Labour (36.9%) + Greens (6.3%) = 43.2%

    National (44.4%) + ACT (0.5%) = 44.9% + TOP + Maori Party + etc = 49.6%

    Pathetic, really trying to rewrite history to suit the narrative.

    Good stuff - Collins rules out working with Winston & NZF.

    Exactly what should have been done last election just as John Key did.

    Let those who support NZF find themselves in the wilderness.
