I think those who are so disillusioned that they won't vote is a big problem for the left this election.

Mostly leftist voters deserting Labour to go to Greens?
Note Greens’ rise at expense of Maori Party & Labour.
There is panic in Labour’s ranks tonight as even Robertson (only on list) is close to getting turfed out on tonight’s Newshub poll numbers. He will resign anyway - sure Cindy has got something lined up for him with the woke brigade.
'In a dramatic reversal, Luxon has shot past Hipkins for preferred prime minister. He is on 24 percent, up 1.5 points. Hipkins has fallen 3.4 points to 19.1 per cent.
It is the first time since the Government changed in 2017 that a National leader is ahead of Labour.'
The problem they had was that Ardern would have been even lower by now. Her latest lies on US TV saying she could have continued is a rewriting of history. She was knifed by her party, and Hipkins was foolish enough to grab the poison chalice she left him.
She had to go when house prices started to fall...that was the canary in the coal mine that it was all starting to turn to custard. Plus the 'co-governance' stuff was starting to turn septic, the bullying culture was starting to become apparent (the lumps under the carpet were getting to be too noticeable). She had to go before the wheels really fell off if she was going to have the big UN career she was always after.
My suspicion is the Greens poll increase is due to youth voters finding it fashionable, as in the ANZ bank ads.
Assuming the pollsters can reach them of course
Chipkins, soon: “No matter what we say, no matter what we do, the polls aren’t turning around”.
He’s under 20% now in the preferred PM stakes, as a direct result of his relentless dirty politics & lying. The Nikki Hagar book will be a beaut.
