I really doubt half of Green voters would switch to Labour just because of Ardern.

Displeased Moo Cow posted:Greens aren't that bad, surely? Well it is coming from Matthew Hooton, he's gone full fake news since Jacinda became leader. Clark and Cullen are pulling the strings for Ardern and the media are in cahoots giving her preplanned softball questions, apparently.. Right wingers are shook.

Christchurch Central will be a hell of a fight at both the electorate and party level if you were looking for an important swing electorate to follow. Speaking of which... https://twitter.com/acphotonz/status/892875837648678913 (More in the thread)

Displeased Moo Cow posted:I hardly know the man I suspect 'anyone but donald' is what won the popular vote. Regardless I don't see how it's here nor there seeing as we've had two PM's with a vag and aren't quite so far in the dark ages as the US, though I have the depressing feeling that the monkey-see-monkey-do media will try to stir up some poo poo over it thanks to the american debacle.

I'unno, does 'Perfect is the enemy of the good' translate well into 'Past a certain level of ideology (And lack of pragmatism) it all slides into dogmatism'?

bike tory posted:Te Atatu, or West Auckland in general. Key always said if you win West Auckland then you win the election Te Atatu's always been pretty solid Labour, but the margin's been shrinking a lot since National got in. They'd need to swing a bit over 1400 votes from last election to win it this year. Alfred Ngaro has a lot of signs up...

Ngaro might have shot himself in the foot by attacking the Salvation Army (tho Twyford might have shot himself in the foot by being racist??? idk). I think Chris Bishop is getting Hutt South.

Bishop pretty much acted like he was the Hutt South MP prior to last election anyway, given that he actually spends time there getting stuff done (whether said stuff is actually worth anything, who knows?).

Bishop is really good at show up to various community events getting his photo taken and leaving shortly afterwards. He's also had billboards up all year round so everyone knows who he is and I doubt many had heard of Ginny Andersen before the billboards went up.

Yep. Latest news is that her husband was listed as living at the same address while she was claiming benefits. She says he wasn't actually living there, but boy is Hosking on the offensive already.

To be expected really. Can't take up a post like that while under investigation. If the review clears her then elevate to a cabinet post in the first reshuffle. If only Bill English did the same when he was caught double dipping.

I was under the impression that the green co-leaders don't typically take ministerial positions, but now I don't know why I think that. I'd love to see some change in how govt is organised. Maybe have two prime ministers or none at all!

I don't think we'll see another major structural change until we make the leap to republic. Which we won't do until English's entire MP generation dies off.
