Under pressure from my children to vote, & with due conscientiousness, I’ve been scouring the websites of v minor & totally obscure parties. Just found one that wants to ban all fishing, beginning by banning kids from fishing.
Won’t vote for them either.

I ain't stopping you from offering support to Labour to minimize the influence the Greens have over them. Depending on the numbers, even an abstention might be enough.

important to note is that this was only uncovered during an operation that busted israeli intelligence operatives using the same method to steal the identities of dead children

The admittedly objective fact that many of the most irritating people in the world have Ukrainian flags in their names does not justify Russia's continuing invasion of Ukraine and it does not mean we shouldn't side with Ukraine in continuing to resist it.

Obama has rope-a-doped Trump here, drawing him into a fight that only advantages Dems. And Obama's clearly enjoying it.
OBAMA: The president wasn't even mad. About The Saddam Hussein comparison. That part didn't bother him. But he was very upset about The Cheesecake Factory. He took great umbrage. He said I didn't understand the work of the artisans in the White House.
They mobilized a whole of government response to that joke. Not to inflation, but to that joke.

Reid poll 3 days before the 2023 election vs election result
Nat 34.5 → 38.1 (−3.6)
Lab 27.5 → 26.9
Grn 14.9 → 11.6 (+3.3)
ACT 8.8 → 8.6
NZF 6.8 → 6.1
TPM 2.7 → 3.1
Not its finest hour as out by about 8.8 points in total.
Hopefully we never find out, but I am interested in the answer to this question anyway

What would be the impact of a government (from either side) being formed only as a result of an overhang?Especially so if combined with a PM with net favourability of -23%.
Would Kiwis see that as a mandate to govern?

this is so outrageous
and the argument from the sex offenders lawyer, that publishing his name would result in him being "cancelled"
give me a fucken break. It's called the consequences of your actions.

Gotta laugh
Obama tonight on his Cheesecake Factory line: "They mobilized a whole of government response to that joke. Not to inflation, but to that joke. The White House even called the Secretary of the Treasury. This is the man who is in charge of the economy. The person who's supposed to be figuring out how to make your life more affordable. The guy who's supposed to be figuring out how to lower inflation. And reduce interest rates. They told him he should hold a press conference in front of the Cheesecake Factory."
This seems ... good?
Am I an idiot or did one of our important national institutions make a correct decision for once?

Stuff's current forecast has exactly this happening - coalition 62 seats, Labour + Greens + TPM + TOP + Leoni 63 seats

Main change in the polling average this month is the Greens solidifying their gains, as do ACT.
Labour and National continuing to slide, as do TPM.
NZ First remain stuck, and Opportunity look to have capped out.
