If you think the bye-election campaign has descended into madness, you are probably right and people in the privacy of the voting booth will reflect more seriously.
Fixed exchange rate? Ha! Ha! Ha! Not even Labour will resort to that! The NZ dollar, believe it or not, is the tenth most traded currency internationally. Where would he get the hundreds of billions of dollars needed to defend his assessment of the value of the NZ dollar (which internationally with Winston in power would be very hard to sustain). A high speed train to Whangarei? Who for?, the population of Northland is not nearly sufficient to justify that or even a railway to the port against very flexible diesel engined multi-wheeled multi trailer trucks.
Put a chokehold on immigration and stop NZ's economic growth?
He's a raving nutter, smokes and turns 70 this year. Is Winston the face of future? You'd have to be a moron!
