Newshub-Reid Research poll

[Lilith7]

I honestly don't care how either National or Labour are doing in the polls. Neither party does fuck all anyway.

I'd rather spite vote for Greens next election or waste my vote on TOP than be complicit in returning either major party back to power. Clark let housing boom under her, Key criticised her for it. National's own housing price boom was tempered by the GFC, and they waited until late in the game to start "reviewing" the RMA. Ardern promised more houses and greater affordability, then did a complete backflip and has reigned over the higher house price increase in, like, forever.

COVID is not my main concern anymore. It is what it is now. Housing is still a problem. A lack of wage movement for a lot of Kiwis is still a problem. Our crumbling infrastructure is still a problem. Climate change is still a problem. I've only voted in a handful of elections but enough now, at least, to know that both Luxon and Ardern will talk about the problems and the solutions they have but neither will end up doing fucking anything.

A change of government only interests me so far as meaning I get to hear from a different group moaning for a few years. God knows the NZ Issues-types have near filled up the Moaning Bucket in less than two complete terms.

True, but they do deserve credit for giving it an excellent try, & continuing to do so.


As for politicians, I'm with Mark Twain on that.
