Left bloc would have enough support to turf govt out

[Lilith7]

Unlikely as it seems.  Mind you, polls tend to be unreliable.

That said though, this govt does seem to be fairly widely unpopuar...

That poll warmed the cockles of my lefty heart. But as you say, it is just a poll... and the Verian ? one wasn't so positive.

Still, nothing wrong with a wee bit of hope now & then...

Only in your mind sweetheart. It's called wishful thinking.

Aaaaand, removing any doubt whatsoever....

To be fair to heisenberg, I think the greens are good to have there to moderate the more extreme abuses of the environment that can happen by certain industries, but I don't think I would like to see the Greens running the country. In the same way ACT should never be allowed to run the country.

To be honest though they would both need to moderate their views an awful lot in order to gain a majority vote, so it will never happen...

the greens and tpm will have labour by the short hairs and hipkins will be prepared to swallow beaucoup dead rats to get back in government

[Oh_hunnihunni]

Which will be very very interesting to watch. Go on, admit it.

After all, Winston is just not as entertaining as he used to be...

[Praktica]

I'm trying to think of what the dead rats might be...improving the environment? Adequate spending on health and education? Combating climate change? They sound pretty tasty to me.

[Oh_hunnihunni]

Fair taxation? Increasing affordable housing? Basic income? Active climate change planning?

Bring. It. On.
