The latest 1News Verian poll suggests the governing coalition would still comfortably command a majority in Parliament.
National has risen to 36% after three consecutive polls at 34%, while ACT also climbs to 10% and New Zealand First holds steady at 9%.
On the opposition side, Labour edges up to 35%, but the Greens slip sharply to 7%, with Te Pāti Māori on 1%.
On these numbers, National would secure 44 seats, Labour 43, ACT 12, New Zealand First 11, the Greens nine, and Te Pāti Māori six—an assumption based on the party retaining its six electorate seats despite internal membership turmoil.
That gives the governing bloc 67 seats to the opposition’s 58.
Christopher Luxon remains the leading choice for Prime Minister at 23%, narrowly ahead of Chris Hipkins on 21%, followed by Winston Peters on 9%, David Seymour and Chlöe Swarbrick on 5% each.
Maori Party polling at 1% but could get six seats. Weird form of democracy in this day and age. The 5% threshold should be reduced to give new parties a chance to enter parliament and better reflect the wishes of all the electorate under proportional representation.
But this is the proportional representation that the govt wants, it was by design, the original electoral commision recomendation did not include a 5% threshold, our elites added that themselves, to protect their position. Like they added section 5 to BORA, just to F**k us.
So no real choice, just more evil globalists. I’m glad we’ll be leaving in the next year or two. This country is no longer a fit place to live.
Where are you planning to go exactly – the globalists have infected every nation with this garbage
Only in the West. Looking at two BRICS nations.
The electoral commission agreed with you but of course, the main parties have gamed the system to their benefit, imposing a 5% (shut out newcomers clause). So much for democracy.
FFS. The slippery sack of sh*t slimeball weasel hipkins 21% for fkn prime minister and
the greasy dirty snake-scum luxon 23%… and you fkn wonder why this country
has become a putrifiied piss-weak clown-show flock of disgustingly fawning scraping spineless
crawling cowardly snivelly bleating moronic dim-witted brainless bleating fkn sheep
So it’s all just a case of the globalist continue to own our country. Mainstream media is fake so I would imagine this poll is fake as well.. They seriously lied to us during covid, so faking poll results would be nothing to these scumbags.
Thinking part of the problem here is people have hateful memories of Napkins injecting people with military grade biological weapons. Flown in to NZ by C17’s to Ohakea airbase.
Smart ass Ardern “that’s exactly what it is”. Ordering police to smash and burn sleeping men women and children while they slept. Napkins refused to front up to a covid enquiry.
He must realise his time is done. He must move on to the unelected UN and take further orders from them.
Labour isnt our saviour. It is billions of borrowed money to be handled out rather than jobs, Infrastructure and growth.
Agree with you but the Nats are proving just as quick to borrow and just as quick to waste. Take a look at the latest from the Taxpayers Union, $3.5M not spent on equipment or staff but DEI style programmes. Then there’s waiting unti; 2029 to finally cap rates.
