National are borked. Primarily due to multiple leadership changes and covid.

Collins didn’t focus enough on labour failures.

But, there you go.

  No Judith Collins did do enough but alas the dismal quality of National MPs was revealed when they rolled Simon Bridges in favour of Todd Mueller which as subsequent events have shown was a mistake of epic proportions

    I agree. That was the beginning of the end for National.
    
    And for God’s sake, the Party has got to do something to distance itself from the toxic Mathew Hooten. Get him the fuck out of it! Now!

  She did what she could. She also had to consider that anything she says can backfire on her. Knocking the opposition is not necessarily the best approach. Judith has been quite successful in limiting Labour’s options eg with taxation. I think she has done the best with the hand dealt to her. Jacinda was triple lucky with the three tragedies that hit NZ in the last few years. Covid and Jacinda’s PR response resulted in a structural shift in voter sentiment towards her and against National and NZF. She played that PR well and this has been a larger influence on voting than failure to act properly on housing, alleged child poverty, etc.

    Agree Peter.
    And all those older bracket women who have voted National all their lives – some were farmers – have voted Labour because Jacinda.
    Weak emotionalism has ruined our society. A friend of mine who is looking after his elderly mother told me his mother voted Lab/Jacinda, and she has ALWAYS been a staunch National voter all her life. Same with a friend of hers.
    I hope rationality does not desert me – I’m 78 now – God spre me from EVER changing my politics because “emotion”.

      You don’t like the result, so of course it’s “weak emotionalism” from women.
      
      Personally, if my mother made a choice I didn’t expect I’d think about why she did it, because I respect my mother and accept she has her own mind.
      
      I don’t know your mother so maybe she is what you’re telling us – a silly weak overly emotional person. I mean, surely you know her where we don’t.
      
      She can’t possibly have made a reasoned choice, can she?

        No, I said I didn’t think they were that stupid BEFORE they elected him – and put money on it.
        
        Now I know, because I paid for the lesson, that they are that stupid.
        
        Now if someone wants to argue that proves something about voting for Labour, wait four years and see where we are to claim vindication, or not.

  Sadly we have a large number of people who like the envy wealth tax idea too. Many kids of today think that voting for Labour and Greens is progressive. These kids don’t see they will be paying for all this massive debt on top of losing their inheritance if they are lucky to get any when their parents pass on. Jacinda has been campaigning during daily updates who’s is very corrupt. Then Jacinda has her party launch and then locked the country down preventing other parties from campaigning,along with setting election date earlier than Nov. It was all very corrupt and deliberate.

    Right. And probably voting based on what international media tell him – so voting for Jacinda or for Green, with no actual information about policies or delivery. Ah well.

      you are 18 years or older
      you’ve lived in New Zealand for more than 12 months continuously at some time in your life
      you are one of the following:

I just caught an Uber home – lovely Indian fellow. I asked who did you vote for, he said “Jacinda” – I said why – because she saved us from Covid. After chatting longer he said he had two jobs whilst his neighbours sit outside all day drinking. He finally recognized the unfairness and rues the day he felt obliged to vote for the falsity named Jacinda. (Stuff her and all who follow her). Our country was not built on lies and deceit, it was built by honest, hardworking men and women, they must be remembered. Disappointment does not cover how I feel – I feel totally robbed.

I said that I wished I found him last week (so does he now) he said all his friends did the same.

This government will never be recognized by me. If the Maoris can have their own kind of governance why can’t we, who didn’t vote for the dictatorship that will befall us.

God please defend New Zealand

  I think ACT will be an absolute circus. Seymour has never managed a caucus. Nobody else in his caucus has been in parliament before. Most of them will have nothing to do. I will be astonished if they can maintain any sort of discipline. More likely there will be a big meltdown once the novelty has worn off and the reality of being a back bench opposition MP sinks in.

Great to see supposed wunderkind Chris Bishop lose his Hutt South seat.

This is the guy who ferreted around looking for ways to leak the budget last year. He’s always looking to hack confidential information. It is his prime objective as a politician, tripping other people up.

Voters hate that sort of behaviour and tonight’s result is confirmation of that.

He might grow up, but I have my doubts.

Why did National lose?

1. Covid. The response by far too many on the right has been appalling, contradictory, confused, anti-science, delusional, out-of-touch and dangerous. We’ve seen plenty of examples of it in here. National’s mixed messages on both the medical and economic response to the pandemic sowed confusion and suspicions that it was placing profits over people. The people have just given Covidiot nutters throughout the land a serving. Take note!

2. Party instability and infighting, a lack of discipline and some extremely poor quality junior MPs within National. Whether or not it was Muller’s ill-conceived coup, the Jamie-Lee Ross fiasco, or MPs sending pictures of their genitals to young woman. The rot had well and truly set in. National simply does not look like a Party that is ready to govern. New Zealanders have never rewarded a political party with anything other than opprobrium when it is not a tightly focused and disciplined team. I lay the blame for that largely at the feet of Key and English and the Party leadership for not ensuring the party was and is renewed at each election with a small number of top quality candidates. Whatever happened to shoulder tapping, head hunting and talent seeking and then mentoring these candidates through to the House and then up through the ranks?

3. The End of Life Choices Bill. Too many National MPs revealed themselves to be both out of touch with and unrepresentative of their electorates and constituents. It’s all very well having religious beliefs and feelings, but the National Party clearly has too many ‘Christians and Catholics’ which has rendered the party tone deaf and at odds with the people over a vital issue that is of deep personal importance to them. Comments made by some National Party members and supporters, and MPs, during the End of Life Choices Bill has rubbed a lot of people up the wrong way. You just got pay back.

4. Strategic voting. I think there has been a significant number of people who have voted Labour in the hope of getting them over the 50% threshold to block the need for Labour to have a coalition with the Greens. The Greens taxation policies, and their Marxist-Leninist economics among other things are toxic and offensive to a large number of New Zealanders. Given that it was widely perceived that National had no hope of winning this election, (and needed a good clean out) the next best thing to stopping the Greens (and getting National to put its house in order) was to vote for Labour, to effectively shut the Greens out. Jacinda ruling out a wealth tax would have attracted a lot of votes from people who were already thinking this way.

  I think you are right. National’s decision to be overly critical of the highly successful COVID response was a huge mistake.

Can someone check my numbers RBNZ is buying 100B of bonds over two years plus govt. running a 30B deficit. In a 300B economy (NZD).
So roughly 25% is pure stimulus.

You were never going to see a change of govt. with those number and house price inflation won’t change with or without RMA reform.

Holy holy fark!!!

Or put another way, thank Christ we strung that out another 4 weeks for Judith to waggle those brows and weave her magic!

And thank sweet baby g-bus that the shy Tories saw the light and swung in hard behind us at the last moment!

And thank the Arabian goat herder’s main man himself, while we’re at it, that we spent that dosh letting everyone know how criminally useless those watermelons and their lefty middle class enablers are.

And christ almighty, thank Zeus and Krishna, that god, (not Marx) was (mostly) on our side, (lovely kneeling Judith) because otherwise, that could have ended badly. I mean really badly.

Like holy farq! That can’t just have happened bad. I’m gonna be sick bad. Everything I believe in has been rejected bad. My leaders are strategic donkeys and yet the future is (apparently) double down on fundy bad. We are crushed by the fish and chip girl bad. Then cannibalised by our own half witted spawn bad.

That bad!!! It could have been that bad…

Oh wait
