And the public don't seem to be that interested when figures in the media speak out. I guess we will find out how people really feel at the next election
I was thinking about that the other day and I remembered the 2014 election and all the press coverage was pro labour and very negative towards national and on Election Day the people that actually vote saw to it labour and the Greens were hammered.
Got to love the silent majority.

@Baron-Silas-Greenback really feels that they've lost their way in challenging performance (or lack thereof) without it falling into ideological or personal attacks, or some kind of fawning over the party/MP as a way to say it isn't their fault.
Is it too much to ask for to get objective reporting... seems like it!!

So Jacko has gone from 'get tough on film studios' to 'who do we need to blow to get filming done here'. And it still might not be enough

If this sees the end of Bridges better to happen now than lose the next election

@canefan jesus wept - how can they not be in a winning position?
They are losing the personality battle, and these days it counts for a lot. Even if they attacked Labour relentlessly, is there any guarantee the public will agree? Say what you want about Jacko, she seems to cut a sympathetic figure with the media and the average Joe at the moment

An incumbent govt will always have alot of goodwill and incredibly enough that can continue regardless of their fups. Nobody wants to admit they made a mistake so early in the piece. That would make them look stupid. A new opposition leader is often on a hiding to nothing. Maybe it's best to use a lightweight as cannon fodder in the first couple of years?

so with all the things Nats can have a crack at Labour over, they choose the fact a supposedly unregistered Air NZ plane was turned away from China was due to a
deteriorating relationship with China.I honestly thought Bridges was moving in the right direction late last year, but he just doesnt seem to have the goods to move Nats forward.

@Donsteppa said in NZ Politics:
@jegga Yep. NZ First poll a country mile from returning to parliament, the Greens poll a few voters forgetting to vote away from electoral oblivion, and yet the one off poll is ‘a disaster for National’...
The Greens usually poll higher than they actually get on Election Day too .

good to see the immigration thing at the forefront...we all know Whinies stance on things, we know Lees-Galloways stance, time for us to hear more from our PM `on whether she thinks we should be deporting people that contribute in a positive way to our society rather than importing people we have no idea about.
