The previous Labour leaders were IMO all competent from a policy point of view. Politics is a tough gig though. Ms Ardern is doing well so far, but she will need to show continued policy leadership to retain Labour's poll bounce until the election.

Are you that naive? I'm not talking about 'fake' media but media decide what becomes important. If they don't report it it didn't happen for most people.
Sure there are many sources but most still get from the mainstream media.
Why do those on the right always predict economic doom and gloom from a left govt? Labour left the country, after 9 years, with more money and less debt then the right have now. There were less people who felt left out of the supposed boom we have now.
Shonkey was a gambler but that's OK. You have no idea really.
John Key may have been a gambler but some of us are good at that sort of thing. Right now I'm sitting in a nice hotel in Singapore (here for their National Day Celebrations and to catch a cruise ship) and I can pay for this from my "gambling" on the market. Labour will try to gamble with my money to retain popularity and continue to live the good life off my pocket as all politicians do.
And National isn't? Open your eyes man.
How many new bridges were Northland promised? Some they said they didn't need.
A long time saying that there wasn't a problam in Auckland and suddenly there is and they have the answer.
Good lord man - what world do you live in?
I don't really have a side so don't suffer a lot of 'confirmation bias'.
LOL BP, Some of us do other things besides look at a computer all day. Not sure why you associate me with the extreme left. The only party
I absolutely have no time for is ACT a bunch of neo liberalists wanting a survival of the fittest economy.
National , Labour and the Green parties and even NZ First. all have policies that appeal, but not all of them.
Makes voting difficult.

El Zorro will be happy...
Labour have climed 3 points to a 15% chance to win the election and National are at 83%

Yes, but there has been no trading on that for a day or so, from after the latest poll came out. Maybe I should sign up and make some easy money Blackcap? If I'm allowed, of course. The new rules look more stringent this time. You're only allowed one account and the use has to be private, not on behalf of anyone else, or political party. So they say, not sure how they could check up on that.
